    Ultra High Energy Neutrino scattering on Relic Light Neutrinos in Dark Galactic or Local Group lead to Z and WW,ZZ showering: the nucleon component of the shower may overcome the GZK cut-off while the electro-magnetic tail at TeVs up to EeVs energy may solve the Infrared-TeV cut-off in a natural way. Different Gamma TeV puzzles may find a solution within this scenario: new predictions on UHECR spectra in future data are derived.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, 2 tables ICRC 2001 HE 3.6 Dark Matter - German

    Why Tau First?

    Electron neutrino has been the first neutral lepton to be foreseen and discovered last century. The un-ordered muon and its neutrino arose later by cosmic rays. The tau discover, the heaviest, the most unstable charged lepton, was found surprisingly on 1975. Its neutrino was hardly revealed just on 2000. So why High Energy Neutrino Astronomy should rise first via tau neutrino, the last, the most rare one? The reasons are based on a chain of three favorable coincidences found last decade: the neutrino masses and their flavor mixing, the UHECR opacity on Cosmic Black Body (GZK cut off on BBR), the amplified tau air-shower decaying in flight. Indeed guaranteed UHE GZK tau neutrinos, feed by muon mixing, while skimming the Earth might lead to boosted UHE tau, mostly horizontal ones. These UHE lepton decay in flight are spread, amplified, noise free Air-Shower: a huge event for an unique particle. To be observed soon: within Auger sky, in present decade. Its discover may sign of the first tau appearance.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure

    Orientador: Ricardo Ribeiro GudwinDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Engenharia Elétrica e de ComputaçãoResumo: Este trabalho apresenta uma comparação teórica e prática entre três das mais populares arquiteturas cognitivas: SOAR, CLARION e LIDA. A comparação teórica é realizada com base em um conjunto de funções cognitivas supostamente existentes no ciclo cognitivo humano. A comparação prática é realizada aplicando-se um mesmo experimento em todas as arquiteturas, coletando alguns dados e comparando-as usando como base algumas métricas de qualidade de software. O objetivo é enfatizar semelhanças e diferenças entre os modelos e implementações, com o objetivo de aconselhar um novo usuário a escolher a arquitetura mais apropriada para uma certa aplicaçãoAbstract: This work presents a theoretical and practical comparison of three popular cognitive architectures: SOAR, CLARION, and LIDA. The theoretical comparison is performed based on a set of cognitive functions supposed to exist in the human cognitive cycle. The practical comparison is performed applying the same experiment in all architectures, collecting some data and comparing them using a set of software quality metrics as a basis. The aim is to emphasize similarities and differences among the models and implementations, with the purpose to advise a newcomer on how to choose the appropriated architecture for an applicationMestradoEngenharia de ComputaçãoMestre em Engenharia Elétric

    Upward Tau Air Showers from Earth

    Full text link
    We estimate the rate of observable Horizontal and Upward Tau Air-Showers (HORTAUs, UPTAUS) considering both the Earth opacity and the finite size of the terrestrial atmosphere. We calculate the effective target volumes and masses for Tau air-showers emerging from the Earth. The resulting model-independent masses for satellite experiments such as EUSO may encompass at E_nu_tau = 10^19 eV a very large volume, V= 1020 km^3. Adopting simple power law neutrino fluxes, E^-2 and E^-1, calibrated to GZK-like and Z-Burst-like models, we estimate that at E= 10^19 eV nearly half a dozen horizontal shower events should be detected by EUSO in three years of data collection by the "guaranteed" GZK neutrino flux. We also find that the equivalent mass for an Earth outer layer made of rock is dominant compared to the water, contrary to simplified all-rock/all-water Earth models and previous Montecarlo simulations. Therefore we expect an enhancement of neutrino detection along continental shelves nearby the highest mountain chains, also given the better geometrical acceptance for Earth skimming neutrinos. The Auger experiment might reveal such a signature at E_nu= 10^{18} eV (with 26 events in 3 yr) towards the Andes, if the angular resolution at the horizon (both in azimuth and zenith) would reach an accuracy of nearly one degree needed to disentangle tau air showers from common UHECR. The number of events increases at lower energies; therefore we suggest an extension of the EUSO and Auger sensitivity down to (or even below) E_nu = 10^19 eV and E_nu = 10^18 eV respectively.Comment: New version resubmitted to ApJ on the 6th April 2004; 55 Pages,20 figures, major changes following referee reques

    UHECR narrow clustering correlating IceCube through-going muons

    Full text link
    The recent UHECR events by AUGER and the Telescope Array (TA) suggested that wide clusterings as the North and South, named Hot Spot, are related to near AGNs such as the one in M82 and Cen A. In the same frame since 2008 we assumed that the UHECR are made by light and lightest nuclei to explain the otherwise embarrassing absence of the huge nearby Virgo cluster, absence due to the fragility and the opacity of lightest nuclei by photo-dissociation from Virgo distances. Moreover UHECR map exhibits a few narrow clustering, some near the galactic plane, as toward SS 433 and on the opposite side of the plane at celestial horizons: we tagged them in 2014 suggesting possible near source active also as a UHE neutrino. Indeed since last year, 2015, highest IceCube trough-going muons, UHE up-going neutrino events at hundreds TeV energy, did show (by two cases over three tagged in North sky) the expected overlapping of UHE neutrinos signals with narrow crowding UHECR. New data with higher energy threshold somehow re-confirmed our preliminary proposal; new possible sources appear by a additional correlated UHE-neutrino versus UHE-neutrino and-or with narrow UHECR clustering events. A possible role of relic neutrino mass scattering by ZeV neutrino arised.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure

    Tramas escolares y tecnología : experiencias en diálogo

    La comunicación versa sobre las tramas didácticas construidas con tecnología en aulas de Mendoza. Hablamos del entretejido didáctico que implica tareas y actividades que enfrentan los estudiantes, experiencias y modos de construcción del conocimiento junto a la tecnología. La trama didáctica potencia y proyecta habilidades específicas en el uso y apropiación de las TIC. ¿Cómo enseñan los docentes y cómo aprenden los alumnos con tecnologías en el aula? La metodología usada en el estudio ha sido cuanti-cualitativa. Algunas conclusiones se vinculan con las posibilidades de innovar, considerando que la innovación da cuenta de habilidades profesionales personales que el docente desarrolla para adaptarse a situaciones cambiantes o diferentes (IIPE . UNESCO, 2007) y que supone aprender profesionalmente, promover y fortificar el equipo docente, propiciar y contribuir creativamente con estudiantes, pares y directivos.Fil: Aguirre, Jimena Isabel.
