From light neutrino decay phenomenology to muon neutrino cross-section measurement at MINERvA experiment
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2022-08-15)
This thesis tackles two essential topics of neutrino physics: neutrino decay and
neutrino cross-section measurement. First, the invisible and visible neutrino
decay is analyzed through a phenomenological approach, ...
Analysis of the physical properties and photoelectrochemical behavior of c-Si/a-SiC:H(p) photocathodes for solar water splitting
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2023-01-16)
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) processes have become an efficient and viable method for solar energy conversion into zero-emission fuels by harnessing and storage the power of the sun, which offers an environment-friendly ...
Construction of radon chamber to expose active and passive detectors
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2023-02-14)
In this research and development, we present the design and manufacture of a radon chamber
(PUCP radon chamber), a necessary tool for the calibration of passive detectors, verification
of the operation of active radon ...
Contribution to the characterization and modeling of photovoltaic generators
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2023-01-10)
A crucial aspect of evaluating and maintaining a photovoltaic (PV) installation connected to the grid is the availability of models that describe its operation reliably in real operating conditions. The nominal power of ...
Contribution to the characterization of emerging photovoltaics technologies in Lima-Peru
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2023-01-13)
This Doctoral Thesis contributed to forming a new photovoltaic (PV) laboratory in Lima-Peru,
by developing an outdoor characterization system for PV modules. This system enables performance
studies of different PV ...
Testing new physics in long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2023-01-10)
In this thesis, we focus on analyzing the different ways in which new physics
scenarios, such as Violation of the Equivalence Principle (VEP) and Quantum
Decoherence, can manifest themselves in the context of the neutrino ...
Synthesis, tribology, electro-tribology and mechanical performance of ti2alc and ti3alc2 max phases thin films
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2023-01-26)
This thesis investigates the synthesis, mechanical properties, tribological and electro-tribological
behavior of Ti2AlC and Ti3AlC2 MAX phases in the form of thin films. The thin films were obtained by
deposition of a ...
Testing pALPIDE sensors for particle detection and Characterization of a Laser beam using a webcam CMOS sensor
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2023-01-16)
The upgrade program of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was implemented during the second Long Shutdown program (2019/2020). For this program, the ALICE Collaboration (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) proposed, among others, ...
Characterization of luminescent ITO:Tb and AZO:Tb thin films prepared by radio frequency magnetron sputtering
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2023-05-09)
This thesis investigates the effects of introducing terbium to indium tin oxide (ITO) and
aluminum zinc oxide (AZO) thin films on their electrical, optical and light emission properties.
The films were prepared by radio ...
