After reviewing the formalism for describing flavor mixing, both in Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory, some consequences along three different directions are studied. First, it is proposed that flavor mixing can ...

In this thesis, we discuss several subjects connected with the framework of GR, in order to characterize astrophysical compact objects. The main purpose is to provide simple models describing gravitational fields generated ...

This thesis work deals with the magnetic, orbital and transport properties of (LaMnO3)2N(SrMnO3)N digital superlattices and of LaxMnO3-d thin films, both deposited by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technique on SrTiO3 ...

In this work I analyzed seismic data recorded by two arrays installed in the area of Mt. Gran Sasso (Central Italy), one located at 1.4 km depth (UNDERSEIS), and the other at surface (Fontari). The aim is to compare the ...

The aim of the OPERA experiment is to provide a “smoking-gun” proof of neutrino oscillations, through the detection of the appearance signal of ντ’s in an initially pure νμ beam. The beam is produced at CERN, 732 Km far ...

This dissertation collects results of my own work about heterostructures with unconventional ferromagnets and superconductors. It both introduces the matter by reviewing part of the existing literature and it includes ...

Traffic acoustical noise is one of the most important component of the urban environmental pollution in densely populated areas all over the world. A very recent ACI-Censis study [1] on Italian urban areas shows that car ...
