Electron-Hadron Correlations in pp Collisions at \sqrt{s} = 2.76 TeV with the ALICE experiment
In this work we are studying the relative beauty to charm production in pp
collisions at \sqrt{s} = 2.76 TeV, through correlations between electrons from
heavy-flavour decay and charged hadrons, with the ALICE detector at the LHC.
This study represents a baseline for the analysis in heavy-ion collisions where
heavy flavour production is a powerful tool to study the Quark Gluon Plasma
(QGP).Comment: Proceeding of the XII HADRON PHYSICS (2012, Bento Gon\c{c}alvez,

Measurements of the correlation between electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays and light hadrons with ALICE at the LHC
In relativistic heavy-ion physics two-particle correlations provide a very
useful tool to investigate the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). This observable is
sensitive to several of the properties of the QGP such as resonances,
interaction of partons with the medium and collective effects (e. g. elliptic
flow). In the present work, the correlation function between electrons from
heavy-flavour hadron decays and light hadrons was measured in pp and Pb-Pb
collisions (central and semi-central). Furthermore, in pp collisions the
relative beauty contribution to the total cross section of electrons from
heavy-flavour decays was estimated by comparing the measured correlation with
Monte-Carlo templates.Comment: Strangeness in Quark Matter 2013 conference proceedin
Measurements of electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays in pp, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions with ALICE at the LHC
Heavy-flavour hadrons, i. e. hadrons carrying charm or beauty quarks, are a
well-suited probe to study the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) in relativistic
heavy-ion collisions. For this reason, measurements of electrons from
heavy-flavour hadron decays have been performed in pp, p-Pb and Pb-Pb
collisions at the LHC with the ALICE detector. Results for the nuclear
modification factors ( and ) support a final-state
energy loss of heavy quarks in central Pb-Pb collisions and, in semi-central
collisions a positive elliptic flow coefficient of electrons from
heavy-flavour hadron decays was observed. Furthermore, a double-ridge structure
was observed in the measured two-particle angular correlation distribution,
triggered by heavy-flavour decay electrons, in high-multiplicity p-Pb
collisions relative to low-multiplicity p-Pb collisions and to pp collisions.Comment: Hard Probes 2013 conference proceedin

CMB statistical isotropy confirmation at all scales using multipole vectors
We present an efficient numerical code and conduct, for the first time, a
null and model-independent CMB test of statistical isotropy using Multipole
Vectors (MVs) at all scales. Because MVs are insensitive to the angular power
spectrum , our results are independent from the assumed cosmological
model. We avoid a posteriori choices and use pre-defined ranges of scales
, and in our analyses. We
find that all four masked Planck maps, from both 2015 and 2018 releases, are in
agreement with statistical isotropy for , . For
we detect anisotropies but this is indicative of simply the
anisotropy in the noise: there is no anisotropy for and an
increasing level of anisotropy at higher multipoles. Our findings of no
large-scale anisotropies seem to be a consequence of avoiding \emph{a
posteriori} statistics. We also find that the degree of anisotropy in the full
sky (i.e. unmasked) maps vary enormously (between less than 5 and over 1000
standard deviations) among the different mapmaking procedures and data
releases.Comment: v4: additional analysis which increased statistical sensitivity,

Space-time Torsion and Neutrino Oscillations in Vacuum
The objective of this study is to verify the consistency of the prescription
of alternative minimum coupling (connection) proposed by the Teleparallel
Equivalent to General Relativity (TEGR) for the Dirac equation. With this aim,
we studied the problem of neutrino oscillations in Weitzenbock space-time in
the Schwarzschild metric. In particular, we calculate the phase dynamics of
neutrinos. The relation of spin of the neutrino with the space-time torsion is
clarified through the determination of the phase differences between spin
eigenstates of the neutrinos.Comment: 07 pages, no figure
