    Plenary invited presentation

    High-energy gamma rays, cosmic rays, and neutrinos are messengers of violent astrophysical phenomena and probes of fundamental physics at extreme energies. Tremendous experimental advance has unlocked vast potential for progress in both directions. First, I will present the basics of high-energy particle production at astrophysical sites. Then I will showcase the main lessons learned and...

    High-elevation particle detectors have opened a new observational window in Astronomy, significantly increasing the number of detected gamma-ray sources in the very- to ultra-high energy range. In particular, these instruments were able to achieve unprecedented sensitivity above 100 TeV and detected gamma-ray emission from sources up to PeV. The recent successes have all been obtained from the...

    Flavour physics and CP violation
    Plenary invited presentation

    The LHCb detector at the LHC is a forward spectrometer designed for the study of CP violation and rare decays of c- and b-hadrons. During Runs 1 and 2, it accumulated the largest samples of these hadrons in the world and contributed to a broad range of physics topics beyond its original purpose. The status of the experiment is discussed, together with a review of the latest physics results,...

    Flavour physics and CP violation
    Parallel oral presentation

    Leptonic CP violation is yet to be confirmed as an additional source of CP violation in fundamental interactions.
    We study the case where leptonic CP violation is spontaneous and is induced by the mixing with a heavy charged vector-like lepton (VLL).
    We show that the non-decoupling of this VLL is linked with the presence of CP violation and its coupling with the SM leptons are partly fixed...

    We show that convection cells in the stellar photosphere generate plasma waves by a process akin to sonic booms and Zeldovich superradiance. Our theoretical approach is based on the Markovian master equation for each mode of the quantum field corresponding to such waves. For the Sun, this mechanism is most efficient in quiet regions with small magnetic fields. Energy is mostly carried by...

    The triplet vector boson (TVB) is a simplified new physics model involving massive vector bosons transforming as a weak triplet vector, which it has been proposed as a combined explanation to the anomalous $b \to s\mu^+\mu^-$ and $b \to c \tau\bar{\nu}_\tau$ data (the so-called $B$ meson anomalies).

    Many theories beyond the Standard Model (BSM) have been proposed to address several of the Standard Model shortcomings, such as the origin of dark matter and neutrino masses, the fine-tuning of the Higgs boson mass, or the observed pattern of masses and mixing angles in the quark and lepton sectors. Many of these BSM extensions predict new particles or interactions directly accessible at the...

    Various Supersymmetry (SUSY) scenarios, including split SUSY and anomaly or gravity-mediated SUSY-breaking scenarios, lead to signatures with long-lived particles.

    In the context of String theory, the Swampland is the set of consistent field theories that cannot be completed into quantum gravity in the ultraviolet regime. Thus, the string theories lead to huge amount of effective-low energy theories, and the swampland is the collection of effective theories that cannot come from string theory. Therefore, it is very useful to find constraints over the...

    Almost half a century after it was predicted, the LHC delivered the Higgs boson in spectacular style. Over the next 15-20 years, the machine and its luminosity upgrade will continue to enable ATLAS and CMS to make great strides in understanding the Higgs-boson’s properties. But to fully explore the scalar sector and its possible connections with the SM’s most mysterious features, and thus to...

    To what extent are all astrophysical, dark, compact objects both black holes (BHs) and described by the Kerr geometry? We embark on the exercise of defying the universality of this remarkable idea, often called the "Kerr hypothesis". After establishing its rationale and timeliness, we define a minimal set of reasonability criteria for alternative models of dark compact objects. Then, as proof...

    This talk shows a general procedure to construct hairy rotating black holes by deforming a spherically symmetric solution following the Gravitational Decoupling approach. We demonstrate that, in comparison with the well-known Newman-Janis algorithm (with and without complexification), the application of our protocol is straightforward. We provide a particular example of a solution that reduces...

    In the Standard Model, the ground state of the Higgs field is not found at zero but instead corresponds to one of the degenerate solutions minimising the Higgs potential. In turn, this spontaneous electroweak symmetry breaking provides a mechanism for the mass generation of nearly all fundamental particles. The Standard Model makes a definite prediction for the Higgs boson self-coupling and...

    Ultracompact stars or “gravastars” were modeled firstly by Mazur and Mottola (MM) by the use of the Schwarzschild interior solution in a special case.

In contrast to the original solution, the resulting configuration can be matched...

Exploiting the analogy with axions I will show that axion haloscopes based on...
