Alexis A. Aguilar-Arevalo
Since January of 2009 I am working at the
Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares
of the U.N.A.M. in Mexico City.
From January to December of 2008 I worked on the
PIENU experiment as a post-doc
in the
TRIUMF laboratory located
in Vancouver B.C., Canada.
From June of 2003 to December of 2007 I conducted my research at
Fermilab
as a graduate student with
Columbia University
working on the
MiniBooNE
experiment.
I graduated on December 20 of 2007, and my Ph.D. degree was awarded
by Columbia University on February of 2008.
Background ( CV)
Ph.D from
Columbia University .
Ph.D. Thesis:
An Improved Neutrino Oscillations Analysis of the MiniBooNE Data
Undergraduate and Masters degree from the
Universidad Nacional Autonoma de
Mexico
Undergraduate Thesis:
"Oscilaciones de neutrinos : el experimento DAR en LSND" (1999)
MiniBooNE:
The MiniBooNE neutrino oscillations
experiment was designed to confirm or refute the oscillations signal
observed by the LSND experiment, conducted at the Los Alamos
National Laboratory from 1993 through 1998. The LSND signal
would have important implications for the Standard Model if
due to two-neutrino oscillations, requiring
the existence of at least one non interacting neutrino
(sterile).
Excerpt from the abstract of the First Results paper:
..."With two largely independent analyses, we observe no significant
excess of events above background for reconstructed neutrino energies
above 475 MeV. The data are consistent with no oscillations within a
two neutrino appearance-only oscillation model."
