This thesis presents a collection of four papers published in peer-reviewed scientific journals plus a manuscript yet to be submitted, all of them in the field of low temperature physics and quantum ...

In this thesis we study axions, a byproduct of the Peccei-Quinn solution to the strong CP problem, which are also a viable candidate for the dark matter content of the Universe. In the first part ...

En este trabajo se presentan modelos para el estudio de los procesos de dependencia en el tiempo de las propiedades magnéticas de diferentes tipos de materiales magnéticos, básicamente sistemas de ...

Radiative decays of B mesons, a good example of Flavor Changing Neutral Currents, are interesting for the study of physics beyond the Standard Model, as new high-energy phenomena can enter in the loop. ...

The mechanics and elasticity of red blood cells (RBCs) determine the capability to deform of these cells when passing through the thinnest capillaries, where the delivery of oxygen takes place. The ...
Pérez-Obiol Castañeda, Axel (Date of defense: 2014-02-11)
In this thesis we have described the weak Lambda N to NN interaction, which is the main responsible for the decay of heavy hypernuclei, within the effective field theory (EFT) framework. The EFT is ...

Cells are the minimum unit of life. They are born, they eat, the may grow, they may move, and, eventually, they die. By contrast, from a physicist point of view, cells are systems out of equilibrium ...
Ignés i Mullol, Jordi (Date of defense: 1997-06-26)
We have performed pattern formation experiments where a relatively well understood system (flow in a Hele-Shaw cell) is perturbed either by means of a lattice of grooves or by the use of viscoelastic ...
