On the local existence of maximal slicings in spherically symmetric spacetimes
2010
In this talk we show that any spherically symmetric spacetime admits locally a maximal spacelike slicing. The above condition is reduced to solve a decoupled system of first order quasi-linear partial differential equations. The solution may be accomplished analytical or numerically. We provide a general procedure to construct such maximal slicings.
Master Majorana neutrino mass parametrization
2019
After introducing a master formula for the Majorana neutrino mass matrix, we present a master parametrization for the Yukawa matrices automatically in agreement with neutrino oscillation data. This parametrization can be used for any model that induces Majorana neutrino masses. The application of the master parametrization is also illustrated in an example model, with special focus on its lepton flavor violating phenomenology.

New Atomic Methods for Dark Matter Detection
2015
We calculate the parity and time-reversal violating effects that are induced in atoms, nuclei, and molecules by their interaction with various background cosmic fields, such as axion dark matter or dark energy.
Study of theZb(10610) andZb(10650) states through $B\bar{B}^*$ and $B^*\bar{B}^*$ interactions using local hidden gauge approach
2016
We have studied the $B\bar{B}^*$ and $B^*\bar{B}^*$ interactions for isospin I = 1 using the Local Hidden gauge approach. Since both interactions via one light meson exchange are not allowed by Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka (OZI) rule, we investigated the contributions for those interactions coming from two pions, interacting and noninteracting among themselves, and also due to the heavy vector meson exchange, in which the OZI rule no longer holds. From the amplitudes calculated by these mechanism, we determine an effective potential which is used as a kernel of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. Our goal is look for poles in the T-matrix in attemp to relate them with the charged Zb (10610) and Zb (10650) s…
Right Handed Sneutrino Dark Matter in Inverse and Linear seesaw scenarios
2012
We consider supersymmetric models in which the right-handed sneutrino is a viable WIMP dark matter candidate. These are either simple extensions of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model or models with the addition of an extra U(1) group. All of them can explain small neutrino masses, through either the Inverse or the Linear Seesaw mechanism. We investigate the properties of the dark matter candidate naturally arising in these scenarios. We check for phenomenological bounds, such as correct relic abundance, consistency with direct detection cross section limits and laboratory constraints. Especially, we comment on limitations of the model space due to lepton flavour violating charged lep…
Neutrino mass, neutrinoless double electron capture and rare beta decays
2010
We present results of our theoretical calculations on three nuclei of interest from the neutrino-physics point of view: Firstly, we present the second-forbidden decay branch of 115In with the ultra-low Q value and theoretical open questions related to such decays. Secondly, we have calculated estimates for the half-lives of the single-beta decay channels of 96Zr and concluded that the possible contamination from those to the geochemical measurements of 96Zr double-beta-decay half-life is rather small. Thirdly, we have taken a look at the neutrinoless resonance double-electron-capture decay of 112Sn in the light of recent JYFLTRAP Q value measurements and discovered that the badly fulfilled …
Double beta decay: an interface between nuclear, particle and atomic physics
2013
General properties of the nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) related to the various modes of neutrinoless double β decays are examined and analyzed. The decays include the electron-emitting double beta-minus decays β−β− and the various positron-emitting/electron capture decays. Special interest is devoted to the neutrinoless double electron capture decay with a resonance condition.
Associated production of weak bosons at the LHC with the ATLAS detector
2009
The study of the associated production of weak vector bosons at the LHC allows to search for New Physics through the measurement of possible deviations of the weak boson self-couplings from the expectation within the Standard Model. The sensitivity of the ATLAS experiment to Standard Model diboson (W+ W-, Wplusmn; Z0, Z0 Z0, W± γ, and Z0 γ) production in pp collisions at = 14 TeV, using final states containing electrons, muons and photons, is presented. These studies use Monte Carlo data sets with full detector simulation from the ATLAS Computer System Commissioning, which furthermore include detailed trigger information as well as effects of detector calibration and alignment corrections. …
