Contribution to the characterization of emerging photovoltaics technologies in Lima-Peru
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del PerúPE, 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 ... -
Contribution to the characterization and modeling of photovoltaic generators
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del PerúPE, 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 ... -
Testing new physics in long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del PerúPE, 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 ... -
From light neutrino decay phenomenology to muon neutrino cross-section measurement at MINERvA experiment
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del PerúPE, 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, ... -
Coherencia como recurso en los sistemas cuánticos abiertos
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del PerúPE, 2022-07-26)In this thesis, we address open quantum systems subjected to Markovian and non- Markovian evolutions. We diagnose these two regimes using the relative entropy of coherence. We specially address the case of two qubits ... -
Preparación y optimización de películas delgadas de sistemas de carbono-sílice dopados con tierras raras para aplicaciones luminiscentes
