In this thesis we present several studies on the origin of masses at the LHC. First we study the indirect effects of new physics on the couplings of the recently discovered Higgs boson and on the ...

Bé sigui el canvi de temperatura que experimenta un material a l’aplicar-li un camp magnètic en condicions adiabàtiques, o bé sigui el canvi d’entropia del material com a conseqüència de la modificació ...

The study of supersymmetry has led us to a better understanding of field theories, specially in the strong coupling regime. In this thesis we have tried to show this through several examples. These ...

Stochastic fluctuations, or noise, are ubiquitous in biological systems and play an important role in many cellular processes. Experimental evidences have shown that noise affects the reliability of ...

In this thesis we study the possibility that QCD breaks parity at high temperatures and densities, a scenario that may be tested in heavy ion collisions. We present two different approaches to this ...

The dynamics of fractured media flows is relevant in many processes of interest that range from the micrometre to the kilometre lengthscales. Flow in disordered media has been proven to be an interesting ...

The quantum many-body problem is an everlasting challenge for theoretical physics. The aim sought is to analyze, at the quantum level, the observables arising from a group formed by a certain number of ...

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 ...
