The light curves of low-mass X-ray binaries show variability on timescales from milliseconds to months. The shorter (sub-second) variability is particularly interesting because it is thought to probe the inner […]
Algorithms from the field of pattern recognition are used throughout industry and academia. In particular machine learning algorithms have become an established technique in modern experimental physics, for instance for […]
Precision measurements of the kinematics of weak decays offer the only model- independent (direct) approach to investigate the absolute neutrino mass scale in a laboratory experiment. In this talk I […]
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a 1 km3 optical Cherenkov detector embedded deep in the ice sheet that covers the geographic South Pole. Since its completion in the austral summer […]
Spectral and anisotropy properties of IceCube astrophysical neutrino signals reveal evidence for a sizeable Galactic contribution to the neutrino flux in the Southern Hemisphere. I will review this evidence and […]
Gamma Ray Bursts are among the most powerful astrophysical phenomena. In the recent past many observations shed light on their high-energy (HE, E>10 MeV) emission properties. In the seminar I […]
The arrival directions of Galactic cosmic rays are highly isotropic. This is expected from the presence of turbulent magnetic fields in our Galactic environment that repeatedly scatter charged cosmic rays […]
Driven by the profound evidence from cosmology and astronomy the existence of dark matter is well-established as a part of our universe. Despite the fact, that there is five times […]
The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC) collected more than a year of data in its full configuration. With its large field of view and high uptime it is exposed to […]
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a neutrino experiment under construction near Jiangmen, China. Its main component will be a spherical 20 kton liquid scintillator detector placed in a […]
H.E.S.S. (High Energy Stereoscopic System) is a hybrid array of five Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes observing the very high energy gamma-ray sky. In the past decade, this experiment has significantly […]
Fast radio bursts are millisecond-duration radio beacons from a so-far unidentified class of extragalactic sources first discovered about a decade ago. Their inferred distances, and therefore radio burst energies, challenge […]
