Hunting neutrinos and modified gravity with clusters of galaxies


Despite tremendous success, general relativity (GR) is not well tested on intermediate and large cosmological scales. In my talk I will briefly explain possible modifications of the theory, how neutrinos are crucial in the search for these modifications as they can mask deviations from GR in the growth of structures, and the possibility to probe physics beyond the standard model with clusters of galaxies.
