The SM is, up to now, a robust model that describes with high accuracy the interactions between elementary particles. However, several processes, like the observation of neutrino oscillations or the presence of dark ...

This thesis covers most of my research from 2007 to 2013 as a member of the High Energy Physics group in the Particle Physics department at the University of Santiago de Compostela. Most of this work was performed on ...

This thesis presents the measurement of prompt charged particle production in proton-lead and proton-proton collisions at the nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of 5.02TeV in the LHCb experiment. Double-differential ...

The Standard Model (SM) of Particle Physics is a very successful theory, but it leaves some important questions unanswered. One long-standing mystery is the so called flavour structure, consisting on the specific arrangement ...

The LHCb experiment foresees a new era of high luminosity, aiming to clarify persistent tensions between experiments and the SM predictions, such as those related to the flavour sector. This thesis is devoted to the ...
