A formalism for the evaluation of the intensity of photon and gluon bremsstrahlung in QED and QCD condensed media is presented which considers general interactions beyond the Fokker-Planck approximation, the angular ...

In this thesis we review some results on the generalization of the gauge/gravity duality to new cases by using T-duality and by including fundamental matter, finding applications to condensed matter physics. First, we ...

This thesis is based on the gravity/gauge duality and consists of four different parts. The first part is devoted to the construction of backreacted geometries corresponding to the near brane limit of the D3-D5 brane ...

In the present thesis we have the objective of testing and extending the domain of applicability of the holographic correspondence, a.k.a. AdS/CFT. This long term motivation has been made concrete in three di erent ...

This thesis is devoted to the study of the B0 → ρ(770)0K∗(892)0 decay mode for which 3 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV were analysed. The ...

The dosimetry of the small and intensity modulated elds employed in radiotherapy, with high dose gradients involved, is a quite demanding task. The need for reliable measurements in these beams responds not only to ...

The AdS/CFT correspondence has provided a fascinating window into the real-time dynamics of strongly-coupled QFTs. On the other hand, studies of gravitational collapse in asymptotically global AdS spacetimes have unraveled ...

Research in heavy-ion collisions at very high colliding energies has dramatically changed the big picture of the theory of strong interactions under extreme conditions of temperature and density, the so-called hot and ...

The Skyrme model is an effective theory for the description of nucleons, nuclei and pions, where the primary degrees of freedom are mesons and the hadrons and nuclei appear as topological solutions of such model. ...

This thesis is focused on the search of Ultra High Energy (UHE) neutrinos with energies above 10^17 eV with the Pierre Auger Observatory. The thesis has several parts. On the one hand in Chapter 2, the procedure used to ...
