Title Cosmology intertwined III: f sigma(8) and S-8 Type Journal Article
Year 2021 Publication Astroparticle Physics Abbreviated Journal Astropart Phys.
Volume (down) 131 Issue Pages 102604 - 6pp
Keywords cosmological tensions; cosmological parameters
Abstract The standard A Cold Dark Matter cosmological model provides a wonderful fit to current cosmological data, but a few statistically significant tensions and anomalies were found in the latest data analyses. While these anomalies could be due to the presence of systematic errors in the experiments, they could also indicate the need for new physics beyond the standard model. In this Letter of Interest we focus on the tension between Planck data and weak lensing measurements and redshift surveys, in the value of the matter energy density Omega(m), and the amplitude sigma(8) (or the growth rate f sigma(8)) of cosmic structure. We list a few promising models for solving this tension, and discuss the importance of trying to fit multiple cosmological datasets with complete physical models, rather than fitting individual datasets with a few handpicked theoretical parameters.

Title Snowmass2021-Letter of interest cosmology intertwined IV: The age of the universe and its curvature Type Journal Article
Year 2021 Publication Astroparticle Physics Abbreviated Journal Astropart Phys.
Volume (down) 131 Issue Pages 102607 - 5pp
Keywords
Abstract A precise measurement of the curvature of the Universe is of prime importance for cosmology since it could not only confirm the paradigm of primordial inflation but also help in discriminating between different early-Universe scenarios. Recent observations, while broadly consistent with a spatially flat standard A Cold Dark Matter (ACDM) model, show tensions that still allow (and, in some cases, even suggest) a few percent deviations from a flat universe. In particular, the Planck Cosmic Microwave Background power spectra, assuming the nominal likelihood, prefer a closed universe at more than 99% confidence level. While new physics could be at play, this anomaly may be the result of an unresolved systematic error or just a statistical fluctuation. However, since positive curvature allows a larger age of the Universe, an accurate determination of the age of the oldest objects provides a smoking gun in confirming or falsifying the current flat ACDM model.

Title Snowmass2021-Letter of interest cosmology intertwined I: Perspectives for the next decade Type Journal Article
Year 2021 Publication Astroparticle Physics Abbreviated Journal Astropart Phys.
Volume (down) 131 Issue Pages 102606 - 4pp
Keywords
Abstract The standard Lambda Cold Dark Matter cosmological model provides an amazing description of a wide range of astrophysical and astronomical data. However, there are a few big open questions, that make the standard model look like a first-order approximation to a more realistic scenario that still needs to be fully understood. In this Letter of Interest we will list a few important goals that need to be addressed in the next decade, also taking into account the current discordances present between the different cosmological probes, as the Hubble constant H-0 value, the sigma S-8(8) tension, and the anomalies present in the Planck results. Finally, we will give an overview of upgraded experiments and next-generation space-missions and facilities on Earth that will be of crucial importance to address all these questions.

Title Absolute nu Mass Measurement with the DUNE Experiment Type Journal Article
Year 2022 Publication Physical Review Letters Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. Lett.
Volume (down) 129 Issue 12 Pages 121802 - 6pp
Keywords
Abstract Time of flight delay in the supernova neutrino signal offers a unique tool to set model-independent constraints on the absolute neutrino mass. The presence of a sharp time structure during a first emission phase, the so-called neutronization burst in the electron neutrino flavor time distribution, makes this channel a very powerful one. Large liquid argon underground detectors will provide precision measurements of the time dependence of the electron neutrino fluxes. We derive here a new v mass sensitivity attainable at the future DUNE far detector from a future supernova collapse in our galactic neighborhood, finding a sub-eV reach under favorable scenarios. These values are competitive with those expected for laboratory direct neutrino mass searches.

Title Flavor Composition of the High-Energy Neutrino Events in IceCube Type Journal Article
Year 2014 Publication Physical Review Letters Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. Lett.
Volume (down) 113 Issue 9 Pages 091103 - 5pp
Keywords
Abstract The IceCube experiment has recently reported the observation of 28 high-energy (> 30 TeV) neutrino events, separated into 21 showers and 7 muon tracks, consistent with an extraterrestrial origin. In this Letter, we compute the compatibility of such an observation with possible combinations of neutrino flavors with relative proportion (alpha(e:)alpha(mu):alpha tau)(circle plus). Although the 7: 21 track-to-shower ratio is naively favored for the canonical (1:1:1)(circle plus) at Earth, this is not true once the atmospheric muon and neutrino backgrounds are properly accounted for. We find that, for an astrophysical neutrino E-2 energy spectrum, (1:1:1)(circle plus). at Earth is disfavored at 81% C. L. If this proportion does not change, 6 more years of data would be needed to exclude (1:1:1)(circle plus) at Earth at 3 sigma C.L. Indeed, with the recently released 3-yr data, that flavor composition is excluded at 92% C. L. The best fit is obtained for (1:0:0)(circle plus). at Earth, which cannot be achieved from any flavor ratio at sources with averaged oscillations during propagation. If confirmed, this result would suggest either a misunderstanding of the expected background events or a misidentification of tracks as showers, or even more compellingly, some exotic physics which deviates from the standard scenario.

Title Probing the cold nature of dark matter Type Journal Article
Year 2025 Publication Physical Review D Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. D
Volume (down) 111 Issue 10 Pages 103509 - 16pp
Keywords
Abstract A pressureless dark matter component fits well with several cosmological observations. However, there are indications that cold dark matter may encounter challenges in explaining observations at small scales, particularly at galactic scales. Observational data suggest that dark matter models incorporating a pressure component could provide solutions to these small-scale problems. In this work, we investigate the possibility that present-day dark matter may result from a decaying noncold dark matter sector transitioning into the dark energy sector. As the sensitivity of astronomical surveys rapidly increases, we explore an interacting scenario between dark energy and noncold dark matter, where dark energy has a constant equation of state (wde), and dark matter, being noncold, also has a constant (non-zero) equation of state (wdm). Considering the phantom and quintessence nature of dark energy, characterized by its equation of state, we separately analyze interacting phantom and interacting quintessence scenarios. We constrain these scenarios using cosmic microwave background (CMB) measurements and their combination with external probes, such as DESI-BAO and PantheonPlus. From our analyses, we find that a very mild preference for noncold dark matter cannot be excluded based on the employed datasets. Additionally, for some datasets, there is a pronounced preference for the presence of an interaction at more than 95% confidence level (CL). Moreover, when the dark energy equation of state lies in the phantom regime, the S8 tension can be alleviated. This study suggests that cosmological models incorporating a noncold dark matter component should be considered as viable scenarios with novel phenomenological implications, as reflected in the present work.

Title How robust are the parameter constraints extending the ΛCDM model? Type Journal Article
Year 2025 Publication Physical Review D Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. D
Volume (down) 111 Issue 2 Pages 023540 - 24pp
Keywords
Abstract We present model-marginalized limits on the six standard.CDM cosmological parameters (Omega(c) h(2), Omega(b) h(2), theta(MC), tau(reio), n(s) and A(s)), as well as on selected derived quantities (H-0, Omega(m), sigma(8), S-8 and r(drag)), obtained by considering several extensions of the.CDM model and three independent cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments: the Planck satellite, the Atacama Cosmology Telescope, and South Pole Telescope. We also consider low redshift observations in the form of baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) data from the SDSS-IV eBOSS survey and supernovae (SN) distance moduli measurements from the Pantheon-Plus catalog. The marginalized errors are stable against the different minimal extensions of the Lambda CDM model explored in this study. The largest impact on the parameter accuracy is produced by varying the effective number of relativistic degrees of freedom (N-eff) or the lensing amplitude (A(lens)). Nevertheless, the marginalized errors on some derived parameters such as H-0 or Omega(m) can be up to 2 orders of magnitude larger than in the canonical Lambda CDM scenario when considering only CMB data. In these cases, low redshift measurements are crucial for restoring the stability of the marginalized cosmological errors computed here. Overall, our results underscore remarkable stability in the mean values and precision of the main cosmological parameters once both high and low redshift probes are fully accounted for. The marginalized values can be used in numerical analyses due to their robustness and slightly larger errors, providing a more realistic and conservative approach.

Title Semiblind reconstruction of the history of effective number of neutrinos using CMB data Type Journal Article
Year 2024 Publication Physical Review D Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. D
Volume (down) 110 Issue 10 Pages 103513 - 7pp
Keywords
Abstract We explore the possibility of redshift-dependent deviations in the contribution of relativistic degrees of freedom to the radiation budget of the cosmos, conventionally parametrized by the effective number of neutrinos Neff, from the predictions of the standard model. We expand the deviations 0Neff(z) in terms of top-hat functions and treat their amplitudes as the free parameters of the theory to be measured alongside the standard cosmological parameters by the Planck measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies and baryonic acoustic oscillations, as well as performing forecasts for futuristic CMB surveys such as PICO and CMB-S4. We reconstruct the history of 0Neff and find that with the current data the history is consistent with the standard scenario. Inclusion of the new degrees of freedom in the analysis increases H0 to 68.71 +/- 0.44, slightly reducing the Hubble tension. With the smaller forecasted errors on the 0Neff(z) parametrization modes from future CMB surveys, very accurate bounds are expected within the possible range of dark radiation models.

Abstract ProtoDUNE Single-Phase (ProtoDUNE-SP) is a 770-ton liquid argon time projection chamber that operated in a hadron test beam at the CERN Neutrino Platform in 2018. We present a measurement of the total inelastic cross section of charged kaons on argon as a function of kaon energy using 6 and 7 GeV/c beam momentum settings. The flux-weighted average of the extracted inelastic cross section at each beam momentum setting was measured to be 380 +/- 26 mbarns for the 6 GeV/c setting and 379 +/- 35 mbarns for the 7 GeV/c setting.

Title Updating neutrino mass constraints with background measurements Type Journal Article
Year 2024 Publication Physical Review D Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. D
Volume (down) 110 Issue 10 Pages 103536 - 8pp
Keywords
Abstract Low-redshift probes, such as baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and supernovae Ia luminosity distances, have been shown to be crucial for improving the bounds on the total neutrino mass from cosmological observations, due to their ability to break degeneracies among the different parameters. Here, we expand background observations to include H(z) measurements from cosmic chronometers, distance moduli from gamma ray bursts (GRBs), and angular diameter distances from galaxy clusters. For the first time, using the physically motivated assumption of positive neutrino mass, we find that neutrino mass limits could be at 95% CL below the minimal expectations from neutrino oscillation probes, suggesting possible nonstandard neutrino and/or cosmological scenarios. Interestingly, it is not only the combination of the three background probes that is responsible for the Sigma m(v) <0.06 eV limits, but also each of them independently. The tightest bound we find here is Sigma m(v) <0.043 eV at 95% CL after combining cosmic microwave background Planck data with DESI BAO, supernovae Ia, GRBs, cosmic chronometers, and galaxy clusters, showing a clear tension between neutrino oscillation results and cosmological analyses. In general, removing each one of three background probes still provides a limit Sigma m(v) less than or similar to 0.06 eV, reassuring the enormous potential of these low-redshift observations in constraining the neutrino mass.
