The prime objective of this project is the production of revolutionary scientific results in Physics and Astrophysics through the participation of the proponents in the construction, data analysis and interpretation of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTA). Technological innovation and social impact are guaranteed results of this proposal given the participation of the industry …
This project aims at assuring the permanence of the proponents in the world leadership in astroparticle physics through the participation in the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTA). CTA is an international collaboration which intends to construct the new generation of ground gamma ray telescopes to study astroparticle physics among other subjects of astrophysical interest. The pla…
This project aims to design and construct a sophisticated mechanichal struture for the telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA)Observatory. CTA is an international collaboration which intends to construct the new generation of ground gamma ray telescopes to study astroparticle physics among other subjects of astrophysica linterest. The plan is to build hundreds of telescopes in t…

There is a broad consensus nowadays that the matter density of the Universe mainlyconsists of an unknown component, called Dark Matter (DM). However, its fundamentalnature it is still unknown. We propose to investigate the potentialities of CTA to detect adark matter signal and identify its true nature through its annihilation or decay in denseenvironments of the Universe, such as dwarf s…
The nature of dark matter (DM) has become one of the most compelling mysteries of particle physics on the one hand, and astrophysics and cosmology on the other. In this project we propose to investigate the potentialities of CTA to detect a dark matter signal from its annihilation (or decay) and production of gamma-rays. Due to its large DM content and relative proximity, the Galactic Cen…
The century-long cosmic ray puzzle has gained very delimiting contours in the last decade. The high-quality data acquired by many experiments have set constraints to the models shrinking the room for speculations. The new data have shed light on the possible acceleration mechanisms at play in the sources, especially for $E > 10^{18}$~eV. Three main observables are used to understand the a…

This project is an introduction to Special Relativity and Cosmology including the possibility of Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV). The student will understand the fundamentals of Special Relativity and Cosmology in a context beyond usually taught in introductory courses in the under-graduation. After learning the basics, the student will calculate the time delay of two photons with diff…
Within the currently accepted paradigm about the content of the Universe, the bulk of matter is made of an unknown substance, whose existence is inferred through astrophysical and cosmological probes of diverse nature. Known as Dark Matter (DM), it is most probably a particle not belonging to the Standard Model of Particle Physics and constitutes about85% of the total matter in the Univer…
We propose to investigate the potentialities of CTA to detect a Lorentz Invariance Viola-tion signal. This project is focused on the astrophysical modelling of the signal and thebackground with the aim to search for the best sources candidates and the best analyisismethods. Before CTA is taking data, we are going to work on common analysis of the currentexperiments (Fermi, H.E.S.S., MAGIC…

Dark Matter (DM) is one of the most intriguing questions of modern astrophysics. Over thepast decades several instruments (HESS, VERITAS, MAGIC) were build with the intention of sky observation, and among one of the goals was uncovering the nature of this dark particle that makes up to 75% of our Universe. Although such instruments imposed several constraints on the dark matter parameter …

During the 20th century, new physics scales were systematically exploredat accelerators and by observatories. The beautiful Standard Model of particle physics was discovered and impressively tested. Our knowledge aboutthe Universe has increase significantly with new discoveries and phenomenabeing explained. Astroparticle Physics or cosmic rays physics is a researchfield in which both extr…
