Euclid is a European Space Agency mission on satellite, whose aim is to investigate the so called “dark universe” (that is, dark matter and dark energy) and thus strongly constrain the main cosmological parameters, including the sum of neutrino masses. For this purpose, an extensive calibration of all the telescope elements is required. I’ve worked on the in-flight flux calibration procedure...

The preference of the normal neutrino mass ordering from the recent cosmological constraint and the global fit of neutrino oscillation experiments does not seem like a wise choice at first glance since it obscures the neutrinoless double beta decay and hence the Majorana nature of neutrinos. Contrary to this naive expectation, we point out that the actual situation is the opposite. The normal...

We study the properties of the Cabibbo suppressed quasielastic production of $\Lambda$ and $\Sigma$ hyperons in antineutrino interactions with nuclei using the NuWro Monte Carlo generator. Few events of this kind have been observed in previous experiments and the model is built exploiting the SU(3) quark flavour symmetry. We study the results of introducing symmetry breaking and the second...

Johannes Rosskopp (University of Basel)22/02/2021, 11:50Neutrino Masses and MixingsParallel Flash talk
In this presentation the novel phenomenon of heavy neutrino-antineutrino oscillations is discussed as well as the QFT framework to describe it. Easy to implement formulae are presented which can be used to obtain the expected rate of lepton number conserving/violating displaced vertex events at colliders and the feasibility to observe oscillations for different models.

Stefano Gariazzo (INFN Torino)22/02/2021, 17:30Neutrino Theory and CosmologyParallel Contributed Talk
In this talk I will discuss the calculation of neutrino oscillations in the early Universe and of the neutrino thermalization, quantified in particular by the effective number of neutrinos (Neff). Precision calculations of Neff are important in light of the future improvements in the experimental determinations. I will briefly review the state-of-art numerical results and discuss the...

Neutrino oscillations in the early Universe are commonly assumed to preserve homogeneity and isotropy. However, we know that collective oscillations can break both in the environments of supernovae and neutron star mergers. In this talk I will describe the conditions under which homogeneity and isotropy are broken by neutrino oscillations in the early Universe, and I will demonstrate how this...

The ESA Euclid mission will map the cosmic web with unprecedented precision. Among the main scientific objectives of Euclid one stands out for its interdisciplinary impact: the measurement of the sum of neutrino masses.

In this talk I will highlight the challenges that cosmology will have to face in order to exploit the accuracy of Euclid data, and achieve this groundbreaking result. I will...
