    The origin of high-energy cosmic rays remains one of the central open questions in astroparticle physics. In recent years, new observations of Galactic cosmic rays and gamma-rays, high-energy neutrinos, and ultra-high-energy cosmic rays have provided important clues about the astrophysical environments that can accelerate hadrons to extreme energies. In this talk, I will review recent progress...

    We present the first-ever search for Long-Lived Particles (LLPs) produced by atmospheric muons with the IceCube neutrino telescope.
    Atmospheric muons, disregarded as background in most IceCube analyses, could produce LLPs in the detector volume via an exotic muon–nucleus bremsstrahlung-like scattering, which would travel undetected for some distance before decaying back into Standard Model...

    The IceCube Neutrino Observatory has completed its first major expansion since construction: five new, densely instrumented strings carrying next-generation optical sensors, deployed at the detector's center in the 2025/2026 Antarctic field season.

    The Upgrade lowers IceCube's energy threshold into the few GeV range, enabling improved measurements of atmospheric neutrino oscillation...

    The number of effective relativistic neutrino species Neff is a sensitive probe of new physics if there are new particles that couple to SM particles at the time of the neutrino decoupling, which occurs at a temperature of around MeV, one second after the Big Bang. We calculate how the existence of a light Z' boson with generic vector and axial-vector couplings to electrons and...
