Title: Hiding blazars with decaying alps
Abstract: A new exciting era has begun with the development of multi-messenger astronomy. I will present a case study in which multi-messenger, multi-wavelength observations are exploited to indirectly probe fundamental physics beyond the Standard Model, making use of data from neutrino telescopes (IceCube), gamma-ray satellites (Fermi-LAT) and sounding rockets equipped with infrared cameras (CIBER). This extends the already flourishing multi-messenger astronomy tools. Indeed, the measurement of the diffuse background spectrum at 0.8-1.7 $\mu \rm{m}$ from the CIBER experiment has revealed a significant excess of the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB) radiation compared to the theoretically expected spectrum. I will discuss the hypothesis that decays of axion-like particle (ALP) could explain this excess, which attenuates the diffuse TeV gamma-ray flux and alleviates the tension between the detected neutrino and gamma ray fluxes.

Title: The milliQan Experiment
Abstract: A recently proposed search for milli-charged particles produced at the LHC is discussed. The experiment, named milliQan, is expected to obtain sensitivity to charges of between 0.1e and 0.001e for masses in 0.1 - 100 GeV range. The detector is composed of 3 stacks of 80 cm long plastic scintillator arrays read out by PMTs. It will be installed in an existing tunnel 33 m from the CMS interaction point at the LHC, with 17 m of rock shielding to suppress beam backgrounds. In the fall of 2017 a 1% scale “demonstrator” of the proposed detector was installed at the planned site in order to study the feasibility of the experiment, focusing on understanding various background sources such as radioactivity of materials, PMT dark current, cosmic rays, and beam induced backgrounds. In this talk I will discuss the general concept of the experiment, the results from the demonstrator, and the plan for the future."

Title: High-Energy Gamma-ray and Neutrino Emission from Star-Forming Galaxies across Cosmic Time
Abstract: I present new theoretical modelling to predict high-energy gamma-ray and neutrino luminosity and spectrum of a star-forming galaxy, from the star-formation rate, gas mass, stellar mass, and size. This model fairly well reproduces gamma-ray luminosities of nearby galaxies detected by Fermi. This model is then combined with a model of cosmological galaxy formation to predict the cosmic background flux of gamma-ray and neutrino from star-formation across cosmic time. In our baseline model, star-forming galaxies produce about 20% of the isotropic gamma-ray background, and only 0.5% of the IceCube neutrino diffuse flux. Even with an extremely optimistic model, at most 22% of IceCube neutrinos can be accounted for. These results show that it is difficult to explain majority of the IceCube flux by star-forming galaxies.

Title: Colored Dark Matter
Abstract: I will show that a bound state with colored quark-like constituents can be a weakly interacting dark matter candidate. I will also discuss a mechanism how it becomes the dominant component of the total dark matter abundance. At the same time an unavoidable consequence will be a subdominant population of dark matter with strong interactions with visible matter and interesting phenomenology.
