Title Quantum gases on a torus Type Journal Article
Year 2023 Publication International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics Abbreviated Journal (up) Int. J. Geom. Methods Mod. Phys.
Volume 20 Issue 10 Pages 2350178 - 19pp
Keywords Thermodynamic properties; non-Cartesian geometries; grand canonical ensemble; noninteracting and interacting quantum gases; spinless; bosons and fermion particles
Abstract This paper is aimed at studying the thermodynamic properties of quantum gases confined to a torus. To do that, we consider noninteracting gases within the grand canonical ensemble formalism. In this context, fermions and bosons are taken into account and the calculations are properly provided in both analytical and numerical manners. In particular, the system turns out to be sensitive to the topological parameter under consideration: the winding number. Furthermore, we also derive a model in order to take into account interacting quantum gases. To corroborate our results, we implement such a method for two different scenarios: a ring and a torus.

Title The physics programme of the MoEDAL experiment at the LHC Type Journal Article
Year 2014 Publication International Journal of Modern Physics A Abbreviated Journal (up) Int. J. Mod. Phys. A
Volume 29 Issue 23 Pages 1430050 - 91pp
Keywords MoEDAL; LHC magnetic monopole; monopolium; dyons; (pseudo-)stable massive charged particle; supersymmetry; technicolor; extra dimensions; dark matter; doubly charged particles; highly ionizing particles; physics beyond the Standard Model
Abstract The MoEDAL experiment at Point 8 of the LHC ring is the seventh and newest LHC experiment. It is dedicated to the search for highly-ionizing particle avatars of physics beyond the Standard Model, extending significantly the discovery horizon of the LHC. A MoEDAL discovery would have revolutionary implications for our fundamental understanding of the Microcosm. MoEDAL is an unconventional and largely passive LHC detector comprised of the largest array of Nuclear Track Detector stacks ever deployed at an accelerator, surrounding the intersection region at Point 8 on the LHC ring. Another novel feature is the use of paramagnetic trapping volumes to capture both electrically and magnetically charged highly-ionizing particles predicted in new physics scenarios. It includes an array of TimePix pixel devices for monitoring highly-ionizing particle backgrounds. The main passive elements of the MoEDAL detector do not require a trigger system, electronic readout, or online computerized data acquisition. The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the MoEDAL physics reach, which is largely complementary to the programs of the large multipurpose LHC detectors ATLAS and CMS.

Title LHCb detector performance Type Journal Article
Year 2015 Publication International Journal of Modern Physics A Abbreviated Journal (up) Int. J. Mod. Phys. A
Volume 30 Issue 7 Pages 1530022 - 73pp
Keywords Large detector systems for particle and astroparticle physics; particle tracking detectors; gaseous detectors; calorimeters; Cherenkov detectors; particle identification methods; detector alignment and calibration methods; trigger; LHC
Abstract The LHCb detector is a forward spectrometer at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The experiment is designed for precision measurements of CP violation and rare decays of beauty and charm hadrons. In this paper the performance of the various LHCb sub-detectors and the trigger system are described, using data taken from 2010 to 2012. It is shown that the design criteria of the experiment have been met. The excellent performance of the detector has allowed the LHCb collaboration to publish a wide range of physics results, demonstrating LHCb's unique role, both as a heavy flavour experiment and as a general purpose detector in the forward region.

Title Soft interactions in jet quenching Type Journal Article
Year 2015 Publication International Journal of Modern Physics A Abbreviated Journal (up) Int. J. Mod. Phys. A
Volume 30 Issue 13 Pages 1550067 - 25pp
Keywords Jet quenching parameter; Regge phenomenology; particle correlations and fluctuations; hard and soft scattering; relativistic heavy ion collisions
Abstract We study the collisional aspects of jet quenching in a high-energy nuclear collision, especially in the final state pion gas. The jet has a large energy, and acquires momentum transverse to its axis more effectively by multiple soft collisions than by few hard scatterings (as known from analogous systems such as J/psi production at Hera). Such regime of large E and small momentum transfer corresponds to Regge kinematics and is characteristically dominated by the pomeron. From this insight we estimate the jet quenching parameter in the hadron medium (largely a pion gas) at the end of the collision, which is naturally small and increases with temperature in line with the gas density and compare it to the jet quenching parameter obtained within the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) phase in widely known perturbative approximations. The physics in the quark-gluon plasma/liquid phase is less obvious, and here we revisit a couple of simple estimates that suggest indeed that the pomeron-mediated interactions are very relevant and should be included in analysis of the jet quenching parameter. Finally, since the occasional hard collisions produce features characteristic of a Levy flight in the q(perpendicular to)(2) plane perpendicular to the jet axis, we suggest one- and two-particle q perpendicular to correlations as interesting experimental probes sensitive to the nature (softness versus hardness) of the interactions of a jet inside the QGP.

Title ALP-portal majorana dark matter Type Journal Article
Year 2022 Publication International Journal of Modern Physics A Abbreviated Journal (up) Int. J. Mod. Phys. A
Volume 37 Issue Pages 2250131 - 14pp
Keywords Axion like particle; heavy neutrinos; dark matter
Abstract Axion like particles (ALPs) and right-handed neutrinos (RHNs) are two well-motivated dark matter (DM) candidates. However, these two particles have a completely different origin. Axion was proposed to solve the strong CP problem, whereas RHNs were introduced to explain light neutrino masses through seesaw mechanisms. We study the case of ALP portal RHN DM (Majorana DM) taking into account existing constraints on ALPs. We consider the leading effective operators mediating interactions between the ALP and Standard Model (SM) particles and three RHNs to generate light neutrino masses through type-I seesaw. Further, ALP-RHN neutrino coupling is introduced to generalize the model which is restricted by the relic density and indirect detection constraint.

Title Exploring the political pulse of a country using data science tools Type Journal Article
Year 2022 Publication Journal of Computational Social Science Abbreviated Journal (up) J. Comput. Soc. Sci.
Volume 5 Issue Pages 987-1000
Keywords Politics; Spain; Sentiment analysis; Artificial Intelligence; Machine learning; Neural networks; Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Abstract In this paper we illustrate the use of Data Science techniques to analyse complex human communication. In particular, we consider tweets from leaders of political parties as a dynamical proxy to political programmes and ideas. We also study the temporal evolution of their contents as a reaction to specific events. We analyse levels of positive and negative sentiment in the tweets using new tools adapted to social media. We also train a Fully-Connected Neural Network (FCNN) to recognise the political affiliation of a tweet. The FCNN is able to predict the origin of the tweet with a precision in the range of 71-75%, and the political leaning (left or right) with a precision of around 90%. This study is meant to be viewed as an example of how to use Twitter data and different types of Data Science tools for a political analysis.

Title Lepton asymmetries and primordial hypermagnetic helicity evolution Type Journal Article
Year 2012 Publication Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics Abbreviated Journal (up) J. Cosmol. Astropart. Phys.
Volume 06 Issue 6 Pages 008 - 12pp
Keywords Magnetohydrodynamics; galactic magnetic fields; cosmic magnetic fields theory; particle physics – cosmology connection
Abstract The hypermagnetic helicity density at the electroweak phase transition (EWPT) exceeds many orders of magnitude the galactic magnetic helicity density. Together with previous magnetic helicity evolution calculations after the EWPT and hypermagnetic helicity conversion to the magnetic one at the EWPT, the present calculation completes the description of the evolution of this important topological feature of cosmological magnetic fields. It suggests that if the magnetic field seeding the galactic dynamo has a primordial origin, it should be substantially helical. This should be taken into account in scenarios of galactic magnetic field evolution with a cosmological seed.

Title Asymmetric Dark Matter and Dark Radiation Type Journal Article
Year 2012 Publication Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics Abbreviated Journal (up) J. Cosmol. Astropart. Phys.
Volume 07 Issue 7 Pages 022 - 23pp
Keywords dark matter theory; particle physics – cosmology connection; physics of the early universe
Abstract Asymmetric Dark Matter (ADM) models invoke a particle-antiparticle asymmetry, similar to the one observed in the Baryon sector, to account for the Dark Matter (DM) abundance. Both asymmetries are usually generated by the same mechanism and generally related, thus predicting DM masses around 5 GeV in order to obtain the correct density. The main challenge for successful models is to ensure efficient annihilation of the thermally produced symmetric component of such a light DM candidate without violating constraints from collider or direct searches. A common way to overcome this involves a light mediator, into which DM can efficiently annihilate and which subsequently decays into Standard Model particles. Here we explore the scenario where the light mediator decays instead into lighter degrees of freedom in the dark sector that act as radiation in the early Universe. While this assumption makes indirect DM searches challenging, it leads to signals of extra radiation at BBN and CMB. Under certain conditions, precise measurements of the number of relativistic species, such as those expected from the Planck satellite, can provide information on the structure of the dark sector. We also discuss the constraints of the interactions between DM and Dark Radiation from their imprint in the matter power spectrum.

Title First results on dark matter annihilation in the Sun using the ANTARES neutrino telescope Type Journal Article
Year 2013 Publication Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics Abbreviated Journal (up) J. Cosmol. Astropart. Phys.
Volume 11 Issue 11 Pages 032 - 22pp
Keywords neutrino experiments; dark matter detectors; supersymmetry and cosmology; particle physics – cosmology connection
Abstract A search for high-energy neutrinos coming from the direction of the Sun has been performed using the data recorded by the ANTARES neutrino telescope during 2007 and 2008. The neutrino selection criteria have been chosen to maximize the selection of possible signals produced by the self-annihilation of weakly interacting massive particles accumulated in the centre of the Sun with respect to the atmospheric background. After data unblinding, the number of neutrinos observed towards the Sun was found to be compatible with background expectations. The 90% CL upper limits in terms of spin-dependent and spin-independent WIMP-proton cross-sections are derived and compared to predictions of two supersymmetric models, CMSSM and MSSM-7. The ANTARES limits are comparable with those obtained by other neutrino observatories and are more stringent than those obtained by direct search experiments for the spin-dependent WIMP-proton cross-section in the case of hard self-annihilation channels (W+W-, tau(+)tau(-)).

Title Interpretation of AMS-02 electrons and positrons data Type Journal Article
Year 2014 Publication Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics Abbreviated Journal (up) J. Cosmol. Astropart. Phys.
Volume 04 Issue 4 Pages 006 - 33pp
Keywords ultra high energy cosmic rays; particle acceleration; cosmic ray theory; cosmic ray experiments
Abstract We perform a combined analysis of the recent AMS-02 data on electrons, positrons, electrons plus positrons and positron fraction, in a self-consistent framework where we realize a theoretical modeling of all the astrophysical components that can contribute to the observed fluxes in the whole energy range. The primary electron contribution is modeled through the sum of an average flux from distant sources and the fluxes from the local supernova remnants in the Green catalog. The secondary electron and positron fluxes originate from interactions on the interstellar medium of primary cosmic rays, for which we derive a novel determination by using AMS-02 proton and helium data. Primary positrons and electrons from pulsar wind nebulae in the ATNF catalog are included and studied in terms of their most significant (while loosely known) properties and under different assumptions (average contribution from the whole catalog, single dominant pulsar, a few dominant pulsars). We obtain a remarkable agreement between our various modeling and the AMS-02 data for all types of analysis, demonstrating that the whole AMS-02 leptonic data admit a self-consistent interpretation in terms of astrophysical contributions.
