    The LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) is a radio telescope with 38 stations of antenna fields across Europe, and it can detect the radio emission from cosmic-ray induced air showers via radio antennas in the frequency range from $30$ to $80 \ \text{MHz}$.
    A current reconstruction approach is determining the shower maximum $X_\text{max}$, which can be used to deduce the mass of the primary particle....

    The IceCube neutrino observatory instruments 1 $km^{3}$ of Antartic ice that represents the detection target and the light propagation medium. The IceCube detector instruments several thousands optical sensors, that detect Cherenkov light emitted from secondary particles (muons) created in neutrino interactions. From these photons, it is possible to reconstruct the muon (and therefore the...

    The radiation from astrophysical sources such as blazars originates mainly from various particle interactions in the jet or in other regions of the blazar. The spectral energy distribution of a blazar shows a two-bump structure. While the low-energy emission is explained by synchrotron radiation of highly energetic electrons, the high-energy part can contain contributions from hadrons too....

    The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a next-generation atmospheric Cherenkov gamma-ray observation which will consist of two sites, one in Paranal and another one in La Palma, and three different types of telescopes (large, medium, and small size telescopes). CTA will be coordinated by the Array Control and Data Acquisition (ACADA). ACADA will collect event data from all of the CTA...

    The Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory (SWGO) is a next-generation ground-based gamma-ray observatory. Currently in the R&D phase, the experiment is expected to have a large array of water Cherenkov detectors (WCD) placed at high elevations in South America. This will enable precise observations of the gamma-ray sky, mainly in the regime of ~100GeV up to the PeV region. The primary...

    A TeV halo is defined as the Inverse Compton emission from $e^\pm$
    diffusing in the Interstellar Medium, injected by a Pulsar Wind
    Nebula (PWN). The pulsars surrounded by such halos are generally
    older than those powering the TeV PWNe identified in the H.E.S.S
    Galactic Plane Survey (HGPS). We revisit the HGPS sources in search
    of halo candidates among coincidences between TeV components...

    Recently, several observatories have discovered photons of cosmic origin with maximum energies in the PeV ($10^{15}\,\text{eV}$) range. Photons at these energies might be produced as by-products from particle acceleration in so-called PeVatrons, which are widely assumed to be the source of a large part of galactic cosmic rays. The first PeVatron to be firmly established was the Crab nebula, a...

    We present a detailed study of the contribution of low- and high-luminosity jetted Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) populations to the spectrum and composition of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) and the corresponding EeV neutrino flux. We find that two AGN populations should have different properties to explain the UHECR data. Our results show that the dominant contribution to the neutrino...

    As liquid xenon (LXe) dark matter detectors grow in size with each experiment, larger components come with larger challenges that new designs might solve. The Xenon Based Research Apparatus (XeBRA) is a small test platform in Freiburg where new components and configurations are explored. The test platform is now being setup to test a new kind of photosensor, a digital silicon photomultiplier,...

    A precise understanding of the optical properties of the instrumented Antarctic ice sheet is crucial to the performance of optical Cherenkov telescopes such as the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and its planned successor, IceCube-Gen2.
    One complication arising from the large envisioned footprint of IceCube-Gen2 is the larger impact of the so-called ice tilt, which describes the undulation of...

    The XENONnT experiment, located underground at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, uses a total of 8.6t of high-purity liquid xenon to directly search for WIMP (weakly interacting massive particle) dark matter using a dual phase time projection chamber. A predominant part of the detector's low-energy background is caused by intrinsic contamination of the xenon with Rn-222, which is...

    In the KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment we perform a precision measurement of the tritium beta decay spectrum. Our goal is to determine the neutrino mass by investigating the spectrum shape near the endpoint region at around $18.6$ keV. Recently we have published a new direct upper limit on neutrino mass of $0.8$ eV/c${}^2$ (90% C.L.) which has been obtained with only 5% of the...

    On the various astrophysical and cosmological scales there is compelling evidence for the existence of dark matter beyond the constituents of our Standard Model of particle physics. WIMPs are among the favored candidates which would solve also other problems of the Standard Model. The DARWIN Collaboration and/or the XLZD Consortium plan a next generation xenon detector with 40t (or up to 80t)...

    Astrophysical neutrinos are a great tool to study physics beyond the standard model of particle physics (BSM), one such source being galactic supernovae (SN). While these neutrinos can be detected by traditional neutrino detectors via the production of their charged lepton partners, they undergo the neutral current (NC) Coherent Elastic Neutrino Nucleus Scattering (CE$\nu$NS) process. These...

    Ultra high energy cosmic rays are charged particles originating from various astrophysical sources and they exhibit anisotropic distributions in their arrival directions at Earth. Several studies have been conducted by the Pierre Auger Observatory on the arrival directions of such particles by employing a likelihood analysis which showed that the starburst galaxies (SBG) model have a better...

    The existing discrepancies between the observation of local and extraction of global cosmological parameters motivate an extension of the ΛCDM cosmological model. A proposed extension called SU(2)_CMB describes cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons with an SU(2) instead of a U(1) gauge group. This mitigates some of these tensions, for example 𝐻0, Ω𝑚, 𝜎8, pushes the recombination epoch to...

    Very Special Relativity (VSR) is a particular realization of Lorentz violation, which was presented for the first time by Cohen and Glashow in 2006 with the idea of introducing an alternative mechanism for neutrinos' masses. Since then, the ideas of VSR have been applied to many different areas. In this talk, after a short introduction to the key features of VSR, I will present its application...

    The new Faint Particle Trigger (FPT) in IceCube was developed with the intention of reaching a higher sensitivity for faint signals in the IceCube detector. Instead of customary triggers, which are based on local coincidences between multiple modules in the detector, it also uses isolated hits. Therefore it is especially suited for the search for faint signals in the detector. Examples are...

    Understanding the properties of extensive air showers (EAS) is of prime importance for extracting the properties of ultra high-energy cosmic rays from data, such as collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory. Inferring their primary energy and, most importantly, their primary mass relies on detailed comparisons of EAS measurements with corresponding air shower simulations. The largest...
