SUMMARY:Dragon School: cosmic-ray theory\, phenomenology and beyond
DESCRIPTION:This school is intended to provide an overview about a variety of topic centered around the problem of cosmic-ray transport in the Galaxy and non-thermal diffuse emissions. We will provide both dedicated seminars and hands-on sessions on the modeling and computation of cosmic-ray propagation and the correlated non-thermal emissions in different astrophysical environments. In particular\, the event will feature a detailed presentation of the state-of-the-art theoretical and numerical tools to calculate relevant astro-particle quantities (production of gamma-ray\, radio or neutrino emission\, as well as the signals produced by dark matter)\, especially focused on the broad applicability of the DRAGON2 code. \nThis event will be held at the Institute of Theoretical Physics in Madrid (Spain) from October 8th to October 10th 2025. The organizing committee of the workshop will be composed by the current main developers of the code: Daniele Gaggero (researcher at INFN Pisa)\, Silvio Sergio Cerri (researcher at Lagrange Laboratory – Observatoire Côte d’Azur\, in Nice) and Pedro De la Torre Luque (Juan de la Cierva postdoc at UAM and IFT)\, along with Miguel Ángel Sánchez-Conde (associate professor at UAM and IFT). Event related to the I+D+i project CEX2020-001007-S\, funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033\, and topic framed within the research line Origin and composition of the universe: Astroparticles and Cosmology (Astro/Cosmo). \nThe school will have a duration of three days\, in which the first two days will be dedicated to lectures (during the morning)\, covering cosmic-ray related physics  (astrophysical plasmas\, particle interactions\, computational techniques\, etc) and discussing the status of current observations of Galactic diffuse emissions (radio\, X-ray\, neutrino and gamma-ray diffuse backgrounds) and hands-on sessions (during he afternoon)\, while the third day will be dedicated to a number of invited talks about the use of diffuse emissions for indirect dark matter searches and the DRAGON2 code beyond the study of cosmic-ray propagation. \nSEMINARS: \nMiércoles 08/10/25 a las 15:30h \nSpeaker: Manuel Rocamora \nTitle: “Propagation of cosmic rays and production non-thermal radiations with DRAGON and Hermes” \nAbstract: Cosmic-ray measurements have reached unprecented precision in the last decade. These observations are  challenging our standard intepretation of how cosmic rays generated and how they propagate in the Galaxy. Therefore\, it is crucial to achieve accurate predictions to understand the origin of discrepancies with data. On top of this\, these predictions allow us to infer the non-thermal radiations that cosmic rays produce when they interact with Galactic magnetic fields\, radiation fields and gas. This session is dedicated to provide a detailed overview of the DRAGON and Hermes codes and how they can be used to obtain predictions of the cosmic ray\, gamma-ray\, neutrino and even radio diffuse Galactic fluxes that are correlated. \nJueves 09/10/25 a las 12:45h \nSpeaker: José Alberto Rubiño \nTitulo: Diffuse radio emission \nAbstract: Synchrotron emission from cosmic-ray electrons is a powerful tool for probing both the Galactic magnetic field and the energy spectrum of electrons within our Galaxy. This lecture will cover the fundamental principles of synchrotron radiation\, methods for measuring this emission\, and the current state of observations\, with a focus on measurements in the GHz frequency range.

SUMMARY:SPS Journal Club: Symmetric Moduli Spaces\, the Swampland Distance Conjecture (...and the Emergent String Conjecture?)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Bernardo Fraiman (IFT)\n\n\nVenue&Time: Red Room / 12:00\n\n\nAbstract: For non-compact\, locally symmetric moduli spaces M\, the set of geodesics and the geometry of the boundary can be completely characterised using group theory. Under the assumption that M is “compactifiable” and some mild conditions on the spectrum of states\, we prove the SDC for all locally symmetric spaces. We show that the states necessarily transform in some representation of the local isometry group\, and that the convex hull encoding the exponential rate at which the leading tower of states becomes light coincides with the convex hull of the weights of the representation.\n\nIn this talk I will discuss briefly some aspects of the proof\, the domain of applicability of our assumptions and their limitations. If time permits\, I will also explain how the relation between towers and weights allows one to classify moduli spaces\, particle state representations and space time dimensions compatible with the Emergent String Conjecture. Based on 2508.18401 and work in progress.

SUMMARY:Large neutrino mass in cosmology and keV sterile neutrino dark matter from a dark sector
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Thomas Schwetz from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue&Time: Red Room / 3:00 PM \n\nAbstract:\nRecent results from cosmology place sever upper bounds on the sum of neutrino masses\, starting to be in conflict with lower bounds from neutrino oscillations. If this neutrino tension persists\, it may indicate new physics in cosmology and/or neutrino physics. After a brief review of the present state\, I discuss a new physics scenario able to explain this tension. It is based on an extended seesaw model for neutrino mass\, including a number of massless neutrinos acting as dark radiation\, as well as a keV state as a dark matter candidate. The dark sector is brought into equilibrium with neutrinos between BBN and recombination. This scenario predicts a slight increase in the effective number of neutrino species Neff at recombination\, potentially detectable byfuture CMB missions.
