Recent results obtained by the HARP collaboration on the measurements
of the double-differential production cross-section of positive and
negative pions in interactions of 3-12 GeV/c protons with nuclear targets
from Beryllium to Lead are presented.
They cover production at small angles (30-210 mrad) and relatively large momenta up to 8 GeV/c
as well as large angles (0.35 - 2.15 rad)...

A brief introduction to neutrino self-interaction effects in Supernovae (SN)
is presented. In the extreme environment of core collapse SNe,
the very large neutrino densities induce collective flavor transitions,
different from the usual MSW neutrino oscillations in matter.
In particular, self-interaction induced neutrino oscillations can be very important
for inverted neutrino hierarchy...

We discuss the prospects for detecting right-handed neutrinos which are introduced in the see-saw mechanism at future colliders. This requires a very accurate cancellation between contributions from different right-handed neutrinos to the light neutrino mass matrix. We search for possible symmetries behind this cancellation and find that they have to include lepton number conservation. Light...

CRESST is a direct search experiment for WIMP dark matter, located in the Gran Sasso laboratories. We use scintillating crystals as target material, operated at millikelvin temperatures. Recording both the phonon- and the light signal from each particle interaction allows for an active background discrimination. The talk will give an overview of the experiment. Results from last year with an...
