Description

Cosmic rays colliding with the atmosphere have historically played a central role in exploration of neutrinos, leading to discovery of neutrino oscillations with Super-Kamiokande experiment. As I will show, the ''atmospheric collider'' offers unprecedented novel opportunities for exploration of fundamental physics. I will present leading new searches for magnetic monopoles, as well as promising targets for millicharge particles and dark matter.
