        The Higgs boson, discovered in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider, is a breakthrough in our knowledge of nature's fundamental interactions. However, our understanding is still at a very early stage and many open questions remain. I will discuss the state of the art and prospects for further discovery, in the context of my own research at previous, current, and future colliders.

        AI & Astroparticles: Applying Machine Learning to Cosmic Ray Physics 30m Salón de Actos del Edificio de Cabecera del Parque Científico de la Universitat de València

        Machine Learning (ML) has been successfully applied across various domains, including
        medical image analysis, remote sensing, computer vision, and engineering. Recently, the
        astroparticle physics community has started employing ML algorithms for a wide range of
        tasks. Among the most challenging is event selection, which entails distinguishing among
        different species of cosmic rays detected by space instruments.
        Traditionally, most experiments rely on Boosted Decision Trees or the higher-performing
        Neural Networks, which are supervised learning methods. While effective, these
        approaches are model-dependent, being trained on Monte Carlo simulations, and may thus
        be sensitive to important systematic uncertainties or biases.
        In this talk, I present an alternative approach based on Unsupervised Learning techniques,
        that exploits their potential in detecting patterns without any guidance, enabling a completely
        model-independent analysis. As a case study, I demonstrate the feasibility of using this
        approach to identify cosmic-ray electrons in data collected by the Fermi-LAT gamma-ray
        telescope. This methodology is versatile and can be extended to other scientific
        applications.

        Cosmic diversity: LGBTQ+ inclusion in Academia 30m Salón de Actos del Edificio de Cabecera del Parque Científico de la Universitat de València

        Just as galaxies in the Universe display a wild variety of colours, shapes and chemistry, science is built by people encompassing a wide spectrum of identities and experiences. LGBTQ+ individuals face unique challenges in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), including physics and astronomy, due to strongly heteronormative and male-dominated cultures and structural barriers that hinder full inclusion. This talk aims to look at some of the realities of being an LGBTQ+ scientist, supported by recent statistics highlighting underrepresentation and disparities in career advancement and workplace satisfaction. We will delve into the possible reasons behind these trends, from heteronormative spaces to implicit biases, and discuss strategies to foster inclusivity in scientific environments. Drawing from initiatives at the Facultat de Física of Universitat de València, I will share how targeted efforts can create more welcoming spaces for LGBTQ+ students and researchers. Reflecting on these issues is a critical step on the path toward a more diverse and inclusive scientific community.

        Dark matter, neutrino masses and queer science 30m Salón de Actos del Edificio de Cabecera del Parque Científico de la Universitat de València

        In this talk, I present a dark matter model that couples to the standard model through a one-loop interaction with neutrinos, where the mediator particles also generate neutrino masses. We perform a global fit that incorporates dark matter relic abundance, primordial nucleosynthesis, neutrino mass, collider and indirect detection constraints. Thanks to the loop suppression, large couplings are allowed, and we find that the model parameters are constrained on all sides. Dark matter masses from 10 MeV to a few TeV are allowed, but sub-GeV masses are preferred for the model to also account for the heaviest neutrino mass. Though our results are valid for a single neutrino mass eigenstate at a time, the model and methods are generalizable to the full 3-flavor case. In parallel, I'll talk about my experience as a queer physicist in academia and the activism I've been part of related to LGBTQIA+ people in STEM.

        Waiting points on type I x-rays burts 30m Salón de Actos del Edificio de Cabecera del Parque Científico de la Universitat de València

        There are many stellar phenomena that are not well understood yet, one of these processes is the Type I X-ray bursts (XRBs). These explosions happen at the surface of neutron stars accreting material from a lower-mass companion. The physical observable in such events is the light curve, i.e., the time evolution of the emitted x-ray intensity. Due to the huge mass of the neutron star, no matter is emitted from the surface and, therefore, there is no direct information about the isotopes created in the nucleosynthesis taking place. With the current models, the simulations of type I XRBs strike to recreate the observed light curve.
        The starting point of the XRB is triggered by the triple alpha process, running away from the Hidrogen burning in a proton-rich environment. Subsequent proton capture lead then to the rp-process, along the N=Z line, at temperatures like $10^8$ K. In this regime, a good knowledge of the nuclear data involved in the reactions and decays happening in the rp-process, along the N=Z line, is of paramount importance so the simulations recreating all the nuclear processes at stellar conditions, can reproduce the observed light curves.

        In this context, some N=Z nuclei, in which the beta decay can compete with the proton capture, act as waiting points in the nuclear reaction flow. The beta decays of these waiting points are crucial important in the time evolution of the nucleosynthesis, and therefore the light curves, being ${}^{64}$Ge, the main bottle-neck of the rp-process reaction flow. However, the beta-decay properties (Q-value and half-life) at XRB conditions of density and temperature are different from the ones in terrestrial conditions. This means that, at the end, we need robust nuclear theoretical models to calculate the half-lives and Qec values in stellar conditions. These models can only be tested with differential physical quantities, B(GT) distributions rather than half-lives, in the decays of interest.

        We applied the Total Absorption Spectroscopy (TAS) technique to measure the beta decay of ${}^{64-66}$Ge and of their daughters ${}^{64-66}$Ga, because for every Ge analysis we need to performed an analysis on its isobar Ga daughter since they did appears on the Ge measurements. In this talk a summary of the research made by our group on the study of the beta decay of relevant waiting point nuclei in type I X-rays burst with emphasis on the latest measurement: ${}^{64}$Ge.
