LHC phenomenology of two-Higgs-doublet models in the LHC era
2014
En esta tesis se analiza la posibilidad de que el bosón recién descubierto en el LHC pertenezca a un sector escalar extendido conocido como modelo de dos dobletes de Higgs, teniendo en cuenta experimentos en la frontera de intensidad y de energía. Hay varias razones para estudiar la fenomenología de sectores escalares extendidos. Por un lado, ningún principio fundamental de la teoria electrodébil explica la ruptura espontánea de la simetría de gauge electrodébil, uno más bien tiene que asumir que este fenómeno ocurre. Muchos modelos o teorías que tratan de explicar el rompimiento de la simetría electrodébil involucran sectores escalares más complejos que el del modelo estándar. Sectores esc…

Constraints on off-shell Higgs boson production and the Higgs boson total width in ZZ → 4ℓ and ZZ → 2ℓ2ν final states with the ATLAS detector
2018
A measurement of off-shell Higgs boson production in the and decay channels, where ℓ stands for either an electron or a muon, is performed using data from proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of TeV. The data were collected by the ATLAS experiment in 2015 and 2016 at the Large Hadron Collider, and they correspond to an integrated luminosity of . An observed (expected) upper limit on the off-shell Higgs signal strength, defined as the event yield normalised to the Standard Model prediction, of 3.8 (3.4) is obtained at 95% confidence level (CL). Assuming the ratio of the Higgs boson couplings to the Standard Model predictions is independent of the momentum transfer of the Higgs…
Light- and strange-quark mass dependence of the ρ(770) meson revisited
2020
Recent lattice data on $\pi\pi$-scattering phase shifts in the vector-isovector channel, pseudoscalar meson masses and decay constants for strange-quark masses smaller or equal to the physical value allow us to study the strangeness dependence of these observables for the first time. We perform a global analysis on two kind of lattice trajectories depending on whether the sum of quark masses or the strange-quark mass is kept fixed to the physical point. The quark mass dependence of these observables is extracted from unitarized coupled-channel one-loop Chiral Perturbation Theory. This analysis guides new predictions on the $\rho(770)$ meson properties over trajectories where the strange-qua…
Aspects of physics beyond the standard model
2021
Emprant els diferents problemes del Model Estàndar com a guia, en esta tesi presente noves teories que milloren la nostra descripció de la natura al nivell més fonamental. En la primera part, després de revisitar el Model Estàndar, enumere i descric les raons que tenim per a sospitar de l'existència d'una teoria més fonamental. La parts dos, basada en diferents articles d'investigació, es centra en les possibles connexions entre l'orige de la massa del neutrí i la natura de la matèria fosca. Finalment, a la part tres, estudie en detall teories que permeten unificar les forces i explicar els diferents números quàntics dels fermions del Model Estàndar i, a més, explicar la replicació de les f…
The Pierre Auger Observatory scaler mode for the study of solar activity modulation of galactic cosmic rays
2011
Since data-taking began in January 2004, the Pierre Auger Observatory has been recording the count rates of low energy secondary cosmic ray particles for the self-calibration of the ground detectors of its surface detector array. After correcting for atmospheric effects, modulations of galactic cosmic rays due to solar activity and transient events are observed. Temporal variations related with the activity of the heliosphere can be determined with high accuracy due to the high total count rates. In this study, the available data are presented together with an analysis focused on the observation of Forbush decreases, where a strong correlation with neutron monitor data is found.
Medium effects in DIS from polarized nuclear targets
2014
The behavior of the nucleon structure functions in lepton nuclei deep inelastic scattering, both polarized and unpolarized, due to nuclear structure effects is reanalyzed. The study is performed in two schemes: an x-rescaling approach, and one in which there is an increase of sea quark components in the in medium nucleon, related to the low energy N-N interaction. In view of a recent interesting experimental proposal to study the behavior of the proton spin structure functions in nuclei we proceed to compare these approaches in an effort to enlighten the possible phenomenological interest of such difficult experiment.
Magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer for the simultaneous selective extraction of phenoxy acid herbicides from environmental water samples
2022
[EN] A selective magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer (MMIP) was synthetized with 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid as template and 4-vinylpiridine as monomer in presence of vinylized magnetite nanoparticles. Scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry and vibrating sample magnetometry were applied to characterize the resulting material. The synthesized MMIP was applied as sorbent in magnetic molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MMISPE) for selective extraction of a mixture of the five herbicides 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA), 4-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)butyric acid (MCPB), mecoprop (MCPP), fenoxa…
Development of a data acquisition system using silicon detectors for PET applications
2016
Este trabajo describe el desarrollo de parte de la electr´onica elaborada para el diseño de un escáner de Tomografíıa de Emisión de Positrones (PET) denominado Petete. Dicho escáner debe identificar offline los eventos de coincidencia y utilizar la técnica de ToF (Time of Flight) para descartar el ruido de fondo, lo cual permite contribuir a la mejora de la relación señal-ruido (SNR) y por lo tanto al aumento de la calidad de las imágenes médicas. El principal uso del escáner PET será en la investigación para el estudio y prueba de diferentes detectores para la mejora de las prestaciones del escáner PET en términos de resolución espacial, tiempo de adquisición (lo cual implica la reducción …
