    Nonmesonic weak decay of Hypemuclei, The 

    Parreño Garcia, Assumpta (Date of defense: 1997-05-22)

    In single A hypernuclei, a A hyperon can occupy any orbital in the hypernucleus since it is free from the Pauli exclusion principle due to its additional quantum number strangeness. <br/><br/>Due to the Pauli blocking ...

    Nucleation and cavitation in liquid helium 

    Guilleumas, Montserrat (Date of defense: 1995-07-20)

    Las transiciones de fase no siempre ocurren bajo condiciones de equilibrio. Un fluido puede ser conducido a un estado metastable. A pesar de ser internamente estable, existe otra configuración con un potencial termodinámico ...

    On Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker cosmologies in non-standard gravity 

    Sáez Gómez, Diego (Date of defense: 2011-03-31)

    [spa] El proyecto de tesis está enfocado en el estudio de la evolución del Universo y más concretamente en la explicación del mecanismo que produce su actual expansión acelerada, y que probablemente sea el mismo que ha ...

    Parton Distribution Functions for Precision LHC Phenomenology 

    Cerutti, Francesco (Date of defense: 2013-07-16)

    The main problematics related to the determination of a set of Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) are presented and, after a brief discussion on different strategies adopted by other groups to address them, the NNPDF ...

    Physico-chemical aspects on molecular motors 

    Ciudad Álvarez, Aleix (Date of defense: 2008-05-15)

    [eng] The discovery of molecular motors was not a single and isolated event but a set of gradual approaches from microscopic to nanoscopic systems. For example, the knowledge of the activity of muscle cells is pretty old, ...

    Quantum entanglement and quantum state estimation = Entrelazado cuántico y estimación de estados cuánticos 

    Acín dal Maschio, Antonio (Date of defense: 2001-06-01)

    [spa] En esta Tesis se ha realizado en el marco de la Información Cuántica, una nueva disciplina de la Física Teórica en la que se funden la Mecánica Cuántica con la Teoría de la Información. El estudio se ha centrado en ...

    Red Blood Cell mechanics: from membrane elasticity to blood rheology 

    Rodríguez Lázaro, Guillermo (Date of defense: 2014-06-30)

    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 understanding of the ...

    Roughness experiments of viscous fluid interfaces in disordered Hele-Shaw cells  

    Soriano i Fradera, Jordi (Date of defense: 2003-02-28)

    Se presenta un trabajo experimental sobre el crecimiento de interficies rugosas en medios desordenados. El experimento consiste en una celda de Hele-Shaw en cuya placa inferior se han distribuido una serie de obstáculos ...

    Searching for P- and CP- odd effects in heavy ion collisions 

    Planells Noguera, Xumeu (Date of defense: 2014-11-06)

    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 problem. On the one hand, ...

    Semiclassical approach to relativistic nuclear mean field theory 

    Centelles Aixalà, Mario (Date of defense: 1992-07-30)

    The nuclear many-body problem is nowadays being increasingly approached on the basis of a relativistic formalism. Microscopic Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (DBHF) calculations starting from a realistic nucleon-nucleon ...

    Some theoretical and experimental aspects of axion physics 

    Renau Cerrillo, Albert (Date of defense: 2015-11-11)

    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 of the thesis, we ...

    Spontaneous generation of geometry and its possible consequences 

    Puigdomènech Bourgon, Daniel (Date of defense: 2012-11-06)

    In this thesis a viable theory of gravity resulting from the spontaneous symmetry breaking of some more fundamental theory is developed. This fundamental theory does not include any notion of a metric or geometry. All the ...

    Structure and dynamics of liquid helium systems and their interaction with atomic dopants and free electrons 

    Mateo Valderrama, David (Date of defense: 2013-05-02)

    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 fluids. Each of these ...

    The properties of antikaons in hot and dense matter 

    Tolós Rigueiro, Laura (Date of defense: 2003-05-09)

    Understanding the behavior of matter under extreme conditions of density and temperature, such as those found in neutron stars or in heavy-ion collisions, requires a good knowledge on the modification of the properties of ...

    Thermodynamical Properties of Nuclear Matter from a newline Self-Consistent Green's Function Approach 

    Rios Huguet, Arnau (Date of defense: 2007-02-23)
