Fundamental physics with cosmic particles

Abstract

Cosmic rays (charged particles), γ -rays and neutrinos offer unique opportunities to extend the search for dark matter, to test quantum gravity phenomenology through the study of the invariance of the group of Lorentz transformations, and to probe the existence of sterile neutrinos. We discuss here these tests of beyond the Standard Model particle physics with present and planned future missions including the Pierre Auger Observatory, the space-borne mission Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02), Fermi-LAT, the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC), the IceCube South Pole Neutrino Observatory as presently operating experiments, and the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) and the IceCube-Gen2 as future large scale infrastructures.
