Hi there, I currently hold a senior professorship at Federal University of ABC in Sao Paulo. I am a particle physics enthuasiast who spend most of my days thinking about the properties of fundamental particles and how to test them at the main experiments in the world such as the Large Hadron Collider.

MY LATEST RESEARCH
Axions are ultra-light particle postulated to solve one of the biggest mysteries of particles phyiscs known as the strong CP problem. They are known to couple weakly to photons. Therefore scientis all of the world have been sifting through axions using state-of-the-art detectors. We review the quest for axions and discuss the underlying physics of several axions model including their phenomenological features.

We present a new model based on the SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1) symmetry, in which there is a new consistent set of chiral fermion fields that renders the model free from anomalies. We investigate the possibility of theses particles being produced the Large Hadron Collider.
Maximum Entropy Principle and the Higgs Boson Mass
Exotic Particles at the LHC?
Quest for Axions!
A successful connection between Higgs boson decays and the Maximum Entropy Principle is presented. Based on the information theory inference approach we determine the Higgs boson mass as 125GeV as measured by the LHC experiment. This is straightforwardly obtained by taking the Higgs boson branching ratios as the target probability distributions of the inference, without any extra assumptions beyond the Standard Model.
