Neutrinoless ββ\beta\beta decay nuclear matrix elements in an isotopic chain

We analyze nuclear matrix elements (NME) of neutrinoless double beta decay calculated for the Cadmium isotopes. Energy density functional methods including beyond mean field effects such as symmetry restoration and shape mixing are used. Strong shell effects are found associated to the underlying nuclear structure of the initial and final nuclei. Furthermore, we show that NME for two-neutrino double beta decay evaluated in the closure approximation, $M^{2\nu}_{\mathrm{cl}}$, display a constant proportionality with respect to the Gamow-Teller part of the neutrinoless NME, $M^{0\nu}_{\mathrm{GT}}$. This opens the possibility of determining the $M^{0\nu}_{\mathrm{GT}}$ matrix elements from $\beta^{\mp}$ Gamow-Teller strength functions. Finally, the interconnected role of deformation, pairing, configuration mixing and shell effects in the NMEs is discussed

No.m direu que lo dit Sèneca sia propheta ne patriarcha, qui palen figurativament: Antoni Canals i El De providència

The author argues that in his version of Séneca's De providentia, as indeed in other of his versions, Canals does not show any evidence of having assimilated the ideological tenets of the Humanism and the Renaissance. On the contrary: for him classical sources are merely used as means to underline an orthodox and religious discourse

Systematic study of infrared energy corrections in truncated oscillator spaces

We study the convergence properties of nuclear binding energies and two-neutron separation energies obtained with self-consistent mean-field calculations based on the Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov (HFB) method with Gogny-type effective interactions. Owing to lack of convergence in a truncated working basis, we employ and benchmark one of the recently proposed infrared energy correction techniques to extrapolate our results to the limit of an infinite model space. We also discuss its applicability to global calculations of nuclear masses.Comment: 12 pages, 12 figure

Los Rituales del Agua en el Río Bravo

El artículo de rituales del agua analiza la superviencia de ceremonias, danzas y fiestas alrededor del uso del agua en la cuenca del Rio Grande. En ambos lados de la frontera mexico americana se comparten rituales que son herencia colonial, mesoamericana. Se señala que continua viva una cultura del agua en las polaciones y pese a las presiones de la globalizacion , esta cultura sigue vigente une a la población, le da lenguaje y valores comunes, manifestandose en la simbologia de rituales, danzas, festividades que identifican a la poblacion. La importancia de estos rituales se deriva de la herencia culural que implican, de los procesos de adaptacion que representan y de los procesos de identidad que unen a mucha gente con su tierra y su paisaje.The study of the water culture in the Rio Grande - Rio Bravo basin in Northern Mexico and Soouthwestern US, analyzes the survival of ceremonies, dances around the water usage. It is clear that rituals associated to usage of water are common in both sides of the border of the US and Mexico, and they are related to the hispanic and mesoamerican inheritance. Those rituals fetch the root of water culture manifested in language common values, symbols of rituals, dances, parties, festivities and other social interactions. Åll those manifestations are located in several groups of population of the area. The importance of those rituals is provoked by its cultural inheritance implicatedas well as processes of social adaptation that they symbolize to the local people, and also their bonds and identitity

Primogénitas y segundonas. Estrtegias matrimoniales de mujeres ligadas a la casa de Arcos (1621-1650).

En la Edad Moderna el matrimonio fue un mecanismo de promoción familiar empleado por las casas nobiliarias. Se trataba de una estrategia dirigida a afianzar o mejorar los deudos del linaje. No obstante, a pesar de la importancia del casamiento del varón primogénito, el destino de los hijos e hijas menores fue objeto de la misma preocupación por parte de los núcleos familiares. Prueba de ello son los casamientos de cuatro mujeres ligadas a la casa de Arcos, que aunque no estaban llamadas a suceder en su casa, contribuyeron decisivamente al progreso de su estirpe. En definitiva, mujeres al servicio de su linaje que cumplieron ampliamente las expectativas de sus familias.In the Modern Era, marriage was a promotion mechanism used by noble families. It was a strategy aimed at reinforcing or improving the relatives of the lineage. However, despite the importance of the eldest male’s marriage, the fate of younger children was the subject of the same concern on the part of the households. This is demonstrated by the marriages of four women linked to the house of Arcos, who despite not being in line to succeed, made a decisive contribution to the progress of their ancestry. In short, they were women at the service of their lineage who fully met the expectations of their families

Una estimación del coste de la vida en Santander, 1800-1860

Editada en la Fundación Empresa PúblicaEn este artículo se construye un índice general de precios al por menor de la ciudad de Santander, aprovechando la información de la "Mercurial" durante la primera mitad del siglo XIX, un período del que, en general, existe muy escasa información sobre precios, y se compara con el de Reher-Ballesteros por dos razones: su composición es más variada y pertenece a una zona periférica. Se demuestra , de paso, la utilidad de la documentación de carácter local para este tipo de investigaciones.In this paper we build a general index of retail prices for the city of Santander, using the information from the "Mercurial" during the first half of 19th century, a period we do not have much information about. Ths index for the Cantabrian capital is compared to the Reher-Ballesteros index. The hypothesis is that the Santander indez has a different profile to the Reher-Ballesteros one due to two reasons - its composition is more varied and it describes a peripheal ares. The uselfulness of local documentation for this kind of research is equally shown.Publicad
