Observation of classically 'forbidden' electromagnetic wave propagation and implications for neutrino detection.

2018

Ongoing experimental efforts in Antarctica seek to detect ultra-high energy neutrinos by measurement of radio-frequency (RF) Askaryan radiation generated by the collision of a neutrino with an ice molecule. An array of RF antennas, deployed either in-ice or in-air, is used to infer the properties of the neutrino. To evaluate their experimental sensitivity, such experiments require a refractive index model for ray tracing radio-wave trajectories from a putative in-ice neutrino interaction point to the receiving antennas; this gives the degree of signal absorption or ray bending from source to receiver. The gradient in the density profile over the upper 200 meters of Antarctic ice, coupled wi…

Electrónica de adquisición de KM3NeT e instrumentación de calibración temporal para telescopios de neutrinos submarinos

2020

Los telescopios de neutrinos, construidos o en construcción, se basan en la detección de la luz de Cherenkov producida por las partículas relativistas originadas durante la interacción de los neutrinos con la materia. La matriz de fotomultiplicadores que usualmente constituye el telescopio de neutrinos debe adquirir con la suficiente resolución y sincronización las señales ópticas provenientes de la luz de Cherenkov para poder reconstruir correctamente las trayectorias de los neutrinos que interaccionan en las inmediaciones del telescopio. Los instrumentos y técnicas necesarios para alcanzar este fin son el objeto principal de esta tesis doctoral en la que se presentan dos de los principales …

Deep-Sea Bioluminescence Blooms after Dense Water Formation at the Ocean Surface

2013

The deep ocean is the largest and least known ecosystem on Earth. It hosts numerous pelagic organisms, most of which are able to emit light. Here we present a unique data set consisting of a 2.5-year long record of light emission by deep-sea pelagic organisms, measured from December 2007 to June 2010 at the ANTARES underwater neutrino telescope in the deep NW Mediterranean Sea, jointly with synchronous hydrological records. This is the longest continuous time-series of deep-sea bioluminescence ever recorded. Our record reveals several weeks long, seasonal bioluminescence blooms with light intensity up to two orders of magnitude higher than background values, which correlate to changes in th…

Topics in Physics Beyond the Standard Model

2020

El Modelo Estándar (SM) de partículas es una teoría hermosa y extensamente contrastada. De hecho, sus éxitos son innumerables y algunas de sus predicciones, como el momento magnético anómalo de los electrones, se han confirmado con una precisión de una parte en 1010 (!). Sin embargo, y por suerte para mi doctorado, todavía hay preguntas abiertas que no se explican dentro del SM y requieren probablemente una dinámica subyacente o nueva física más allá del SM (BSM). Esta tesis explora, desde un punto de vista fenomenológico, algunas de las posibles extensiones del SM que permiten las preguntas abiertas en física fundamental: • El origen de las masas de los neutrinos • El origen de la asimetrí…

Composite scalars and dark matter from four-fermion interactions

2022

Parte I: Emergencia de masas en el Modelo Estándar El bosón de Higgs es un campo escalar del Modelo Estándar (SM, por sus siglas en inglés) de partı́culas elementales que cumple dos funciones muy importantes. Por un lado permite construir una teorı́a renormalizable. El potencial escalar contiene un término de masa y un término cuadrático en el campo de Higgs, los cuales son ajus- tados en base a mediciones experimentales y haciéndolos compatible con la aparición de una ruptura espontánea de la simetrı́a SU (2) L × U (1) Y del SM. Y por otra parte ayuda a explicar la masa de todos los fermiones en el esquema de la teorı́a cuántica de campos, al poseer interacciones de tipo Yukawa que son aju…

Limit on the diffuse flux of ultrahigh energy tau neutrinos with the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory

2009

Data collected at the Pierre Auger Observatory are used to establish an upper limit on the diffuse flux of tau neutrinos in the cosmic radiation. Earth-skimming ντ may interact in the Earth's crust and produce a τ lepton by means of charged-current interactions. The τ lepton may emerge from the Earth and decay in the atmosphere to produce a nearly horizontal shower with a typical signature, a persistent electromagnetic component even at very large atmospheric depths. The search procedure to select events induced by τ decays against the background of normal showers induced by cosmic rays is described. The method used to compute the exposure for a detector continuously growing with time is de…

On the selection of AGN neutrino source candidates for a source stacking analysis with neutrino telescopes

2006

The sensitivity of a search for sources of TeV neutrinos can be improved by grouping potential sources together into generic classes in a procedure that is known as source stacking. In this paper, we define catalogs of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and use them to perform a source stacking analysis. The grouping of AGN into classes is done in two steps: first, AGN classes are defined, then, sources to be stacked are selected assuming that a potential neutrino flux is linearly correlated with the photon luminosity in a certain energy band (radio, IR, optical, keV, GeV, TeV). Lacking any secure detailed knowledge on neutrino production in AGN, this correlation is motivated by hadronic AGN mode…
