    Design of the BELEN detector for wide energy range with flat and high detection efficiency 

    Riego Pérez, Albert (Date of defense: 2016-05-30)

    The main objective of this work is to design the BEta-deLayEd Neutron detector (BELEN) detector for FAIR (Facility for Antiproton Ion Research). The purpose of this detector is the measurement of neutron emission probabilities ...

    Observation and interpretation of type IIB supernova explosions 

    Morales Garoffolo, Antonia (Date of defense: 2016-03-08)

    Core-collapse supernovae (CC-SNe) explosions represent the final demise of massive stars. Among the various types, there is a group of relatively infrequent CC-SNe termed type IIb, which appear to be hybrids between normal ...

    Development of AINA code for the study of loss of plasma control events in ITER and DEMO, and contribution to the systems study of DEMO 

    Rivas Reguera, José Carlos (Date of defense: 2016-01-01)

    Magnetic fusion is a long term, worldwide research activity. Plans are increasingly ambitious, cooperation is progressing, and goals seem to be closer every year. ITER reactor is being built, and several conceptual studies ...

    Thermal diagnostics experiments for LISA Pathfinder 

    Gibert Gutiérrez, Ferran (Date of defense: 2016-02-23)

    The LISA Pathfinder project is an ESA/NASA technology demonstrator mission that must test the critical instrumentation required for a future space-borne gravitational wave observatory based on the LISA design. The satellite, ...

    Effects of vibrations applied to fluids at different gravity levels 

    Garcia Sabaté, Anna (Date of defense: 2016-06-20)

    Due to the increasing interest in space exploration, management of two-phase flows in the absence of gravity has become a key aspect in improving the efficiency of technological applications for space missions. Understanding ...

    Contributions to GNSS-R earth remote sensing from nano-satellites 

    Carreno-Luengo, Hugo (Date of defense: 2016-01-21)

    Global Navigation Satellite Systems Reflectometry (GNSS-R) is a multi-static radar using navigation signals as signals of opportunity. It provides wide-swath and improved spatio-temporal sampling over current space-borne ...

    ISFAA : Implicit SPH for astrophysical apllications 

    Escartín Vigo, José Antonio (Date of defense: 2016-01-21)

    Computational simulation is one of the basic techniques of modern Astrophysics. The long-term time astrophysical processes cannot be treated with explicit approaches because that they are limited, in their maximum time ...

    On cross-shore beach profile morphodynamics 

    Fernàndez Mora, Mª Àngels (Date of defense: 2015-12-17)

    The nearshore zone is plenty of 3D morphodynamic patterns resulting from the interaction of waves, currents and sediments. The dynamics of formation and evolution of these patterns is at present a controversial point in ...

    Ion binding landscapes and molecular dynamics of phospholipid membranes 

    Yang, Jing (Date of defense: 2015-12-11)

    This thesis aims at studying the physical-chemical properties of model lipid bilayers in physiological environments. Since in such conditions biological membranes composed of phospholipids and cholesterol are surrounded ...

    Mapping biophysics through enhanced Monte Carlo techniques 

    Cabeza de Vaca López, Israel (Date of defense: 2015-12-16)

    This thesis is focused on the study of molecular interactions at the atomistic detail and is divided into one introductory chapter and four chapters referencing different problems and methodological approaches. All of them ...
