PRIN - The Dark Universe: A Synergic Multimessenger Approach
The goal of this project is to test the particle physics interpretation of Dark Matter (DM) by establishing a comprehensive approach to the whole host of cosmic messengers: electromagnetic radiation at any relevant frequency (radio, infrared, X rays, gamma rays), neutrinos, charged cosmic rays and gravitational waves. This will be complemented be the development of two innovative techniques specifically conceived to extract the faint DM signals from the overwhelming astrophysical backgrounds: statistical cross-correlations between gravitational tracers (weak lensing, large scale structure observed through galaxies and galaxy-clusters catalogs) and electromagnetic signals emitted from DM, thus combining together the two key manifestations of DM as an elementary particle; exploration of the ability of Machine Learning techniques to identify a DM signal. The proposed synergic approached will be carried out by the complementary expertises present in five Units: Torino, SISSA, Padova, L’Aquila and INFN. |

PRIN - LISA - PHASE A: Gravitational Waves from Massive Black Holes in "The Gravitational Universe"
SISSA will develop theoretical and phenomenological models for testing the nature of astrophysical black holes and their correspondence to the expected solution of general relativity. |

Elusives Elusives is a European ITN project (H2020-MSCA-ITN-2015//674896-ELUSIVES, April 2016-March 2020), which focuses on Neutrino and Dark Matter phenomenology and their connection, with emphasis on the role of the symmetry relating matter and antimatter. Experimental and theoretical aspects are also encompassed. The network involves nodes in six European countries and its associated partners extend to seven non-European countries. |
