We discuss the generation of a dark matter asymmetry via new sphaleron processes associated to an extra non-abelian gauge symmetry common to both the visible and the dark sectors. Such a theory can naturally produce an abundance of asymmetric dark matter which is of the same size as the lepton and baryon asymmetries, as suggested by the similar sizes of the observed baryonic and dark matter...

The Germanium Detector Array (GERDA) experiment searches for
neutrinoless double beta decay of Ge-76, a test of whether
neutrinos are identical with their anti-particles, i.e. of Majorana
type, or distinct from them, i.e. of Dirac type. Neutrinoless double
beta decay could not only establish the charge-conjugation character
of neutrinos, but also place a limit on the effective neutrino...

We present the recent results from the analysis of the Supernova Legacy Survey 3-years data sample.
For the dark energy equation of state, assuming a flat universe, we measure a w parameter consistent with a cosmological constantwith a precision of 0.2. We have paid particular attention to the systematic uncertainties.
We combine the SNe data with baryon acoustic oscillation measurements...

B-modes in cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization is smoking gun signature of inflationary universe. Inflationary universe predicts primordial gravitational waves, the primordial gravitational waves created degree-scale odd-parity components in CMB polarization pattern: B-modes. Therefore, the primary goal of CMB polarization studies in the next decade is detection of B-modes.

We have obtained a very accurate proton charge distribution radius by measuring the Lamb shift in the 2s level of muonic hydrogen[1]. The value we found, while roughly 10 times more accurate than the one derived from either hydrogen spectroscopy or electron-proton elastic scattering, is 5 standard deviations away. I will show the results of the experiment, the latest theoretical evaluations...

Quarks and leptons, the fundamental building blocks of matter, are grouped into three “generations”, that is three sets of particles with identical interactions but hierarchically different masses. The mysterious nature of the charged fermion mass matrix has not been clarified by the evidence for neutrino masses, quite to
the contrary: distinctly different patterns emerge for the quark and...

The MEG experiment is searching for the lepton flavor violating decay of a muon, mu+ -> e+ gamma, with a sensitivity that exceeds the previous experiments. Many extensions of the Standard Model, such as Supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories, predict the decay to occure near the current upper limit of the branching ratio. In this talk we present our final, updated result using the 2009 data....
