DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Francisco Neves (LIP - Coimbra)\nThere is unambiguou
 s experimental evidence that dark matter (DM) accounts for   most   of
   \nthe   mass   of   the   Universe   (≃ 84%).   \nThis 
   conclusion   rests   upon   accurate measurements   of   gala
 ctic   rotation   curves\,  \nvelocities   of   galaxies   in 
   clusters\,   cluster   mass determinations   via   gravitationa
 l   lensing\,   \nprecise   measurements   of   the   cosmic 
   microwave background fluctuations and of the\nabundance of light elemen
 ts\, and upon the mapping of large scale structures.\nModels suggesting th
 at DM may be composed of previously unobserved particles\n(e.g.  WIMPs\, 
 Axions) are being probed by a variety of experiments.\nThe identification 
 and characterization of DM is presently one of the greatest challenges in\
 nscience\, fundamental to our understanding of the Universe. In this talk 
 we will give an overview\nof the evidences and results supporting the exis
 tence of DM and describe the various techniques\nfor detection of both WIM
 Ps and Axions\,  the most prominent candidates to account for the\nmissin
 g matter in the Universe. The recent progress in DM direct detection exper
 iments and\nfuture directions will also be briefly presented.\n\n \nhttps

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Sofia Leitão (Physics of Information and Quantum Te
 chnologies Group (Instituto de Telecomunicações))\nIn light of what is k
 nown today about the nature of matter\, to understand the origin of the vi
 sible mass of our Universe it is necessary to unravel the physics of hadro
 ns\, states of quarks and gluons bound together by the strong interaction.
  In this seminar\, we will discuss some of its most intriguing features\, 
 and focus on the simplest quark-antiquark system existent in nature: the m
 eson.\n\nIn parallel\, we will highlight some of the latest achievements o
 f Quantum Computation\, with respect to the simulation of quantum systems.
  In fact\, quantum computers have just started solving realistic problems 
 in quantum chemistry and nuclear physics\, which lead us to the following 
 question: Can we also simulate hadrons on a quantum computer?\nhttps://ind

 nt developments in the study of the Solar System dynamics have shown that 
 it is not such a quiet place. Mutual interactions between all bodies may d
 estabilise the orbits and the spins of all terrestrial planets and satelli
 tes. Chaotic motion is everywhere and our present quiet Earth will likely 
 experience exotic changes in a billion years. In this talk we will review 
 the major spin-orbit interactions taking action in our Solar System.\nhttp

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Andrey  Morozov (LIP - Coimbra)\nANTS2 toolkit is be
 ing developed at LIP-Coimbra for simulation\, optimization and processing 
 of experimental data targeting mainly position-sensitive detectors with op
 tical readout\, such as gamma cameras\, two phase noble gas detectors for 
 searches of dark matter\, and MSPC-based detectors  for  thermal  neutr
 ons.  The  main  focus  of  the  toolkit  is  position  and  ene
 rgy reconstruction with access to a broad range of techniques including st
 atistical methods and techniques  based  on  machine  learning  (e.g.
   kNN  searches  and  neural  networks).  A combination of a powerfu
 l custom B-spline library for detector response parameterization and fast
   reconstruction  utilizing  computations  on  Graphics  Processing
   Unit  makes  ANTS2  an effective tool in real-time data processing. 
 The simulation module of ANTS2 is based on CERN ROOT  3D  navigation  l
 ibrary  (TGeo).  A  significant  speedup  of  simulations  was  ob
 tained  by taking  full  advantage  of  the  multithreading  capabi
 lities  of  TGeo  and  implementing  custom tools for distribution of
  simulations over a grid of computers. The toolkit offers an interactive g
 raphical as well as scripting (JavaScript and Python) interfaces. Based on
  the fast simulation module and the scripting interface\, ANTS2 also give 
 access to a set of tools for semi-supervised (highly automated) fast multi
 -parameter detector optimization.\nhttps://indico.lip.pt/event/487/

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Maxim Ivanov (CFisUC)\nIn the last decades\, the con
 tinuing demand of nanoscale research has urged the materials science commu
 nity to devote considerable efforts for developing innovative high-tech sy
 stems using forward techniques of physical\, chemical and biological areas
 \, which simultaneously providing an ability of high temporal and spatial 
 resolutions and demanded to be non-destructive (especially in a trend of b
 io-inspired and medical objects). However\, characterization of innovative
  key materials relies on a deep knowledge of the basic scientific concepts
  behind the establishment the dynamic of charge/spin/molecular interaction
 s\, which\, usually\, assumes an atomistic level of study. At this scale\,
  fluctuations in the spatial distribution of local transients introduce th
 e control of the local physicochemical properties of samples and in the na
 nostructured interface between dissimilar materials. Hence\, Scanning Prob
 e Microscopy (SPM) technique plays a significant role and known as one of 
 the most powerful tools for the characterization of material surfaces down
  to subnanometer scale to explore new physics of magnetic\, topological\, 
 and/or superconducting states of various materials through the investigati
 on of local atomic and electronic structures. To exert a major impact on m
 aterial research society the next generation of SPM modes will call for a 
 deeper involvement of multilevel approaches and will foster the use of new
  algorithms and paradigms towards to material science exploring frontiers 
 in surface- and nano-sciences making it faster\, wider in functionality an
 d higher in resolution.\nhttps://indico.lip.pt/event/493/

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Sandra Soares (Universidade da Beira Interior)\nApes
 ar dos inúmeros benefícios que se podem retirar quer em diagnóstico que
 r em terapia\, a exposição à radiação ionizante pode constituir um pr
 oblema para a saúde uma vez que\, quando esta interage com os tecidos e/o
 u com os órgãos\, pode aí depositar elevadas quantidades de energia.\nD
 iariamente as populações são expostas a diferentes tipos de radiação 
 ionizante sendo que  86%  é de origem natural\, como é o caso da radia
 ção cósmica\, radiação terrestre e ainda  a  radioatividade  natur
 al  tecnologicamente  aumentada.  Em  alguns  locais\,  a predominâ
 ncia  de  determinados  minerais  de  urânio\,  a  existência  d
 e  falhas  e  minas podem\,  inclusivamente\,  ser  responsáveis  
 pela  presença  de  níveis  de  radioatividade natural ainda mais e
 levados\, especialmente no que se refere ao radão.\nA exposição humana 
 às radiações é uma realidade em Portugal\, em especial na região Beir
 ã\, que é caracterizada pela existência de rochas graníticas onde o te
 or de urânio é elevado\, tornando-a\, por este motivo\, uma das zonas de
  risco acrescido em relação à radioatividade de origem natural. \nhttp
