Active projects
Neutrinos in the Early Universe
Marco Drewes, Jamie McDonald, Isabel Oldengott

We study the production and interactions of neutrinos in the primordial plasma from first principles of quantum field theory. This includes Standard Model computations such as QED corrections to Neff as well as constraints on new neutrinos species from cosmology and astrophysics.
New Physics in compact stars
Marco Drewes, Jamie McDonald

We investigate constraints on the properties of new elementary particles from the observation of compact stars.
