The Multi Mission Maximum Likelihood framework (ThreeML) is a Python-based software package designed for multi-wavelength data analysis in high-energy astronomy. Integrating X-ray and gamma-ray data from various instruments, along with measurements at lower wavelengths, is essential for unlocking the full potential of observational data. However, the lack of standardization and unique...
The sensitivity of gravitational wave detectors is impacted by several noise sources. This presentation centers on noise mitigation associated with charge deposition on the test mass (TM). The main challenge involves the uncertainty surrounding the process leading to charge deposition on TMs, as well as the lack of precise knowledge regarding the distribution and intensity of the charge.

Timepix3 hybrid semiconductor detector offers a fine grid of 256$\times$256 pixels with 55 um pitch. Thanks to 1.56 ns timing precision, it is possible to use Timepix3 as a time projection chamber and reconstruct events in 3D. This makes Timepix3 suitable for simultaneous usage as a single-layer Compton camera and a scattering polarimeter. The need for at least two coincident interactions...
Concerning particle physics and cosmology, the neutrino mass measurement will shed light on several important open issues. Neutrino mass information can be extrapolated from a beta-decay spectrum analysis. Not relying on any theoretical hypothesis but energy-momentum conservation, this is known as direct measurement. In this field, the state-of-the-art is represented by the KATRIN spectrometer...
The sensitivity of gravitational wave (GW) detectors is constrained by various sources of
noise. Quantum noise pervades the entire frequency band of the current detectors (10
Hz - 10 kHz), while magnetic noise will significantly constrain the sensitivity of future
GW detectors, such as the Einstein Telescope (ET), especially at low frequencies (a few
Hz to around 100 Hz).
This poster...

The direct detection of particle dark matter is one of the most compelling challenges of modern fundamental physics. Xenon based dual-phase time projection chambers (DP-TPCs) are the leading technology for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) search. The DP-TPC approach proved to be reliable, highly sensitive, intrinsically low-background and especially easily scalable until an...
Employing km-scale cavity-enhanced interferometry, gravitational-wave detectors have detected tens of compact binary coalescences to date. Next generation detectors like the Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer aim to improve current detector sensitivity by one order of magnitude. Not only a huge increase in detection statistics is expected but also an unprecedented reach to very high...
Liquid argon, widely used as the active target in neutrino and dark matter experiments, is a scintillator with a light yield of approximately 40 photons/keV. The scintillation spectrum is centered at 128 nm, and the attenuation length is of the order of meters, depending on the purity. The addition of small amounts of xenon (approximately 10 ppb) allows for shifting the scintillation peak to...

CUORE began its first physics data run in 2017 at a base temperature of...
Neutrinoless double-beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) poses an exciting way of probing the absolute neutrino mass and the Majorana nature of the neutrino. Regardless of the mechanism involved in its production, the observation of $0\nu\beta\beta$ implies new physics, exhibiting lepton number violation, and providing insight into the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. Ge detector...

The search for Dark Matter is currently one of the open questions in physics research beyond the Standard Model. The light Dark Matter hypothesis foresees particle candidates with a mass lower than a few GeV/c^2, interacting with ordinary matter through a force; among the various possible models, that of the "dark photon" postulates the existence of a new U(1) type interaction mediated by a...
