Our research project is linked to the effort towards elucidating the dark matter composition. We propose to tackle this problem both from an experimental as well as from a phenomenological point of view, giving continuity to our past research contributions. Our group has an active role in the DarkSide collaboration, which aims at direct detecting dark matter. On the phenomenological front…
The proposed bilateral project is focused on enhancing the collaboration between the two groups from the University of São Paulo and from Universite Libre de Bruxelles by having a common scientific goal to help in revealing the sources of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays. The project is aimed at finding the possible contribution of local sources to the total flux of particles that reach the …
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 …

In this project, we propose to investigate two current puzzles in astroparticle physics: the dark matter and the ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) compositions. The common goal of these two fronts is to probe extensions of the standard model of particle physics. In relation to dark matter our investigations will take place in two fronts: analysis of intrinsic dark matter properties, …
When propagating through space, highly energetic gamma-rays can be absorbed through interactions with low energy photons from the extragalactic backgound light (EBL) leading to the production of electron-positron pairs. The absorption effect alters the spectrum of gamma-rays coming from distant astrophysical objects, it is dependent on the energy and increases with the source redshift. Th…
We propose an undergraduate research project whose goal is to determine the general characteristics of a hypothetical survey of galaxies, such that the correlation between the CMB temperature and the galaxy distribution in our universe is maximized. Such a correlation is induced by the so-called integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect and is a direct consequence of the time variation of gravitation…
We propose here a scientific initiation project centered on the study of the relation between dark energy and the so-called Integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect. The student must master the physics behind this relation through a study program in General Relativity and Cosmology, and at the end be capable of theoretically calculating the crosse correlation signal between CMB temperature maps and …
A master's project in observational cosmology is proposed here, focused on the study of the existent tension between the value of the Hubble constant obtained from the statistical properties of the cosmic background radiation anisotropies and of the luminosity distance and recession velocity measurements of type IA supernovae (SNIa). Special attention must be paid to the details of each o…
With the advent of precision cosmology some tensions were detected in the cosmological parameters, between them, the one on the value of the current rate of the expansion of the universe. Motivated by such a tension on the Hubble parameter, we propose to investigate the Hubble constant value using a cosmographic approach, inferring from the data possible features that the cosmological mod…
This is a research project focused on data analyses optimization for measurements of gamma-rays performed with Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). The main goal is to eliminate explicit background rejection cuts, by incorporating into the likelihood the probabilities for a given event to come from background or signal, in order to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio. As an ap…
This is a one-year research plan focused on the science of two major Astroparticle Physics observatories: the Pierre Auger, the largest cosmic ray observatory which has been taking data since 2004 and is currently planning a general upgrade of its detection systems; the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), the next generation of ground based air imaging Cherenkov telescopes for gamma-ray astr…
