Title: Neutrinos, Dark matter, dark matter & neutrinos
Abstract:
A significant worldwide effort is underway to construct neutrino observatories that, combined, will be sensitive to astrophysical neutrino over 13 orders of magnitude in energy. I will discuss the ability of these future observatories to pin down the nature of the Universe’s most powerful accelerators, as well constrain or discover the dark sector via dark matter annihilation, or elastic DM-neutrino scattering. I will finally discuss other potential signatures of new physics from astrophysical neutrinos, such as non-unitarity of the PMNS mixing matrix, neutrino decay, and signatures of large extra dimensions.
