Neutriinojen ja kvarkkien sekoitusmatriisien välinen yhteys
2012
In this thesis relations between neutrino mixing matrix and quark mixing matrix are studied. The focus of the analysis is on two simple cases. In the first case it is assumed that the left matrix that diagonalizes the mass matrix of charged leptons and the corresponding matrix of down quarks are equal. In the second case it is likewise assumed that the corresponding diagonalizing matrices of neutrinos and up quarks are equal. First, theoretical concepts related to the mixing of quarks and especially to the mixing of neutrinos are presented. These are e.g. fermion mass generation in the Standard Model, Majorana masses of neutrinos and the so-called seesaw mechanism. Regarding experiments, ne…
Event reconstruction in NEXT using a ML-EM algorithm
2017
La desintegración doble beta sin neutrinos es un proceso hipotético en el que dos neutrones de un núcleo se transforman en dos protones emitiendo únicamente dos electrones, sin neutrinos. La detección de un proceso así demostraría que los neutrinos son partículas de Majorana y que el número leptónico total no se conserva (las oscilaciones de neutrinos ya han demostrado que el número leptónico por familia no se conserva). La determinación de la naturaleza del neutrino podría responder a varias preguntas de diversa índole dentro de la física de partículas. Primero, podría dar explicación a la escala de masas del neutrino a través de un mecanismo de balancín (see-saw). Por…
Effective Field Theories for heavy probes in a hot QCD plasma and in the early universe
2017
There are many interesting problems in heavy-ion collisions and in cosmology that involve the interaction of a heavy particle with a medium. An example is the dissociation of heavy quarkonium seen in heavy-ion collisions. This was believed to be due to the screening of chromoelectric fields that prevents the heavy quarks from binding, however in the last years several perturbative and lattice computations have pointed out to the possibility that dissociation is due to the finite lifetime of a quarkonium state inside the medium. Regarding cosmology, the study of the behavior of heavy Majorana neutrinos in a hot medium is important to understand if this model can explain the origin of dark ma…
"Il resto è silenzio". Riflessioni su "Sette storie per lasciare il mondo"
2013
Il saggio descrive la genesi, la struttura teatrale e la partitura musicale dello spettacolo di Roberto Andò e Marco Betta "Sette storie per lasciare il mondo", anche in relazione al ciclo di fotografie "sul sonno" di Ferdinando Scianna ("Dormire, forse sognare", 1997).
