Extensions of the Standard model do not necessarily have th is property. Rare decays of heavy flavour are heavily suppressed in the St andard Model and new particles can give sizeable contributions to these pr ocesses\, thus their precise study allows for sensitive tests of lepton fl avour universality. Of particular interest are rare b->sll decays that are readily accessible at the LHCb experiment. Recent results from LHCb on le pton flavour universality in rare b->sll decays are discussed.\n\n \n\nYo utube URL :: https://youtu.be/VEa3iz-DImc\n\n \nhttps://indico.lip.pt/ev ent/901/ LOCATION:ZOOM URL:https://indico.lip.pt/event/901/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Reunião plenária do Conselho Científico DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20210510T090000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20210510T113000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20210605T002300Z UID:indico-event-915@indico.lip.pt DESCRIPTION:\nMeeting ID 868 5421 8362\n\n \n\npasscode (the usual\, sent by email)\n\nhttps://indico.lip.pt/event/915/ LOCATION: URL:https://indico.lip.pt/event/915/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Proposta de Curadoria Digital da Coleção do Gabinete de Física do MCUC DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20210512T130000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20210512T140000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20210605T002300Z UID:indico-event-830@indico.lip.pt DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Carlos Adriano Cardoso (UC)\n\n\nLigação remota di sponível via Zoom:\n\nhttps://videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/81310717360?pwd =OUhFb21paEhaOUE0cTVjZE1wdWQ4QT09\n\nID da reunião: 81310717360\nSenha: 0 55056\nhttps://indico.lip.pt/event/830/ LOCATION:Sala de Conferências (Departamento de Física FCTUC) URL:https://indico.lip.pt/event/830/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:iLoF - como a Fotónica e a Inteligência Artificial podem contrib uir para uma Medicina mais personalizada DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20210519T130000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20210519T140000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20210605T002300Z UID:indico-event-837@indico.lip.pt DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Joana Paiva (iLoF)\n\n\nFace à rápida evolução das epidemias deste século\, a pesquisa pelo diagnóstico e tratamentos m ais eficazes constituem dois dos maiores desafios propostos à comunidade médica. O aumento da esperança média de vida e a alteração dos padrõ es comportamentais trouxeram consigo uma maior prevalência de doenças pa ra as quais se exige uma resposta mais ágil e rápida.\n\nEm muitas situa ções\, o primeiro diagnóstico realizado não é o correto e a terapêut ica aplicada não resulta\, contribuindo para que a patologia avance e ass uma contornos mais complexos\, tornando-a cada vez mais difícil de caract erizar e combater.\n\nParalelamente\, são também frequentes as situaçõ es em que o diagnóstico é correto\, no entanto\, a terapêutica\, mesmo que amplamente validada\, não resulta para o indivíduo . Estes casos dev em assumir especial destaque à luz dos novos desenvolvimentos da medicina personalizada.  A fisiologia humana é altamente variável de indivíduo para indivíduo\, fazendo com que a abordagem genérica de “fórmula ú nica” limite a eficácia da terapêutica a utilizar. São necessárias f erramentas inteligentes que habilitem a capacidade de entender as “peque nas diferenças” entre cada um de nós\, de modo a serem desenhadas as e stratégias terapêuticas capazes de combater as doenças deste século. Áreas tecnológicas como a fotónica (utilização de luz) e a inteligên cia artificial mostram-se como soluções promissoras para enfrentar este desafio. Nesta apresentação serão abordados casos práticos na qual u ma nova ferramenta - a iLoF (intelligent Lab on Fiber) - baseada em fotó nica (utilização de luz) e a inteligência artificial é utilizada na d iferenciação de subtipos de cancro associados a diferentes probabilidade s de metastização ou até mesmo a diferenciação entre diagnósticos de Alzheimer e estados de demência natural. \n\nSala zoom:\n\nhttps://vide oconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/81310717360?pwd=OUhFb21paEhaOUE0cTVjZE1wdWQ4QT09\n \nID da reunião: 81310717360\nPassword: 055056\nhttps://indico.lip.pt/eve nt/837/ LOCATION:Sala de Conferências (Departamento de Física FCTUC) URL:https://indico.lip.pt/event/837/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Opportunities of light ion collisions at the LHC DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20210520T103000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20210520T113000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20210605T002300Z UID:indico-event-897@indico.lip.pt DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Wilke van der Schee (CERN)\nIn this talk I will atte mpt to give a perspective on the physics opportunities of oxygen-oxygen an d proton-oxygen collisions in the LHC Run 3. The cosmic-ray community argu es for a short pO run during Run 3\, because this is the unique time-windo w for LHCf to take data. In the heavy-ion community\, the origin of collec tivity in small collision systems remains a central question that begs a t imely answer. In the talk I will briefly present the constraints from the accelerator. I will then highlight the opportunities on what we can learn about a hydrodynamic quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and about hard probes propag ating through such a QGP. I will end with a brief summary on cosmic ray op portunities.\n\nMuch of the talk will be based on the workshop OppOrtuniti es at the LHC (cern.ch/ooatlhc)\, as summarised in 2103.01939\n\n \nhttps ://indico.lip.pt/event/897/ LOCATION:ZOOM URL:https://indico.lip.pt/event/897/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Dia da investigação do DF DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20210526T130000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20210526T140000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20210605T002300Z UID:indico-event-900@indico.lip.pt DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Ricardo Gonçalo (UC/LIP)\n\n\n\n\nUma tarde aberta a todos para conhecer a atividade de investigação e desenvolvimento q ue se faz no Departamento de Física!\n\nLink para reunião Zoom: https:/ /videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/86311139674\n\nLista de posters:\n\n\n Spin i n a planar relativistic fermion problem\n Impressão da matéria escura na s estrelas de neutrões \n Dark Matter\n Development of the Underground P erformance Monitor for LZ\n Prototype Detector for Neutrinoless Double Bet a Decay Studies\n Shield wires effect on GICs in Portuguese power network and design of an instrument to monitor GICs in the transformer neutrals\n Development of an in-beam time-of-flight positron emission tomograph for monitoring proton therapy\n Ionosphere monitoring with GNSS receivers and aviation safety\n Proton therapy: real-time prompt gamma imaging and micro dosimetry\n Understanding the non-perturbative regime of QCD\n Estudo de n anopartículas de perovskites para aplicação em sensores de gás\n Shiel d wires effect on GICs in Portuguese power network and design of an instru ment to monitor GICs in the transformer neutrals\n Light Hyperclusters in Warm Stellar Matter\n Shining black hole bombs\n Synthesis and magnetic st udies of low-doped Co\, Zn\, Mn \n The nervous system of the LUX-ZEPLIN d etector \n Caracterization of mixtures of noble gases with molecular addi tives for radiation detectors\n Experimental ion mobility studiesof altern ative gas mixtures for the LCTPC\n The impact of the Earth subsurface on G ICs estimation\n The solar quiet variation observed near the vortex focus: effect of the geomagnetic activity and vortex dynamics on the Sq extract ion\n Microwave Spectroscopy and Molecular Physics\n AMEGO Mission Polarim etric Prospects\n Compton Cubesat Prototype\n Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flashe s Analisis for Aircraft Transport Safety\n Green tea epigallocathechin-3- gallate (EGCG) - A promising agent for reduction of colorectal cancer cell s viability\n A F-18 FDG mouse brain study with easyPET: the potential of quercetin in cocaine acute exposure\n The upgrade of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC\n Hyperonic stars and the symmetry energy\n\n\nhttps://indico.l ip.pt/event/900/ LOCATION:Sala de Conferências (Departamento de Física FCTUC) URL:https://indico.lip.pt/event/900/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Help!

In a recent report\, the EU Commission states that green-H2 is a key priority to achieve the European Green Deal\, since H2 ensures backup for seasonal variations\, while replacing fossil fuels in some carbon-intensiv e industrial processes. Photoelectrochemical (PEC)-H2 production is one of the most promising technologies for producing green-H2 and several life-c ycle assessment (LCA) studies have shown that this technology has one of l owest associated environmental impacts. \n\nThe basic concept underneath P EC water splitting is the natural process of photosynthesis since PEC devi ces aim at directly converting incident photons into a fuel.[1] In PEC dev ices\, H2 is produced at the cathode\, and O2 is produced at the anode\, b eing both electrodes in contact with an electrolyte. To beat photovoltaic- electrolysis\, which is the commercial technology closer to PEC systems\, these devices will require serious advances in the efficiency and chemical stability of the photoactive materials.[2] Hematite (α-Fe2O3) is one of the most promising photoactive materials able to meet the requirements nee ded to make PEC-H2 commercially viable. Still\, to achieve this goal\, it is mandatory to overcome the main drawback of these systems: recombination .[3]  \n\nThe Nanofabrication for Optoelectronic Applications (NOA) group of INL will investigate in detail recombination-related problems in α-Fe 2O3 photoelectrodes using advanced characterization techniques to identify the main causes of performance losses. As so\, the NOA group has the ulti mate goal of producing highly efficient hematite photoelectrodes that inco rporate selective layers fabricated with state-of-the-art equipment.\n\nRE FERENCES\n\n1.

Ultrathin solar c ells are gaining relevance\, due to their potential for savings in materia l resources and processing time. Nevertheless\, the reduction of the absor ber thickness down to a sub-µm range\, raises two major intrinsic concern s: increased rear interface recombination and insufficient light absorptio n. Those may be overcome through the incorporation of a dielectric passiva tion layer between the rear contact and the absorber [1]. Furthermore\, by having a very high area of rear contact covered by a transparent dielectr ic layer- 70-99 %- in the contact structure [2]\, there is freedom to add extra functionality between the passivation and rear contact [3]\, leading to high-performance substrates (HPS). Cu(In\,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) based ultrathi n technology is used to showcase the HPS’s optoelectronic potential\, an d review some of the novel substrates architectures developed by the Nanof abrication for Optoelectronic Applications - NOA - group from INL. Optical simulations are used to guide the HPS schemes contact architecture\, diel ectric material\, and how highly reflective metals and nanostructures can be incorporated for optimum optical gains. Advanced characterization is us ed for evaluation of the HPS integration in CIGS solar cells leading to in creased figures of merit values over conventional ultrathin CIGS based dev ices\, due to efficient chemical passivation of interface active defects d ensity\, built-in electrical field\, and light management schemes.\n\nREFE RENCES\n\n[1] PMP Salomé et. al\, Adv.
