Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
This dissertation consists of two parts, treating significantly separated fields. Each part consists on several chapters, each treating a somewhat isolated topic from the rest. In each chapter, I present some of the work developed during my passage through the graduate program, which has mostly been published elsewhere.
Part I – Cosmic Rays and Particle Physics
- Chapter 1: In this chapter we present an introduction to the topic of cosmic ray physics, with an special focus on the so-called ultra high energy cosmic rays: their potential origins, effects during their propagation between their sources and Earth, the different techniques used …

Women in science have been and are still facing numerous obstacles. According

percent of all doctoral students (the main pipeline for academia) in this country
are women, only 46 percent of assistant professors, 38 percent of associate
professors, and 23 percent of full professors are female. On top of that, women
