Os acoplamentos considerados entre os neutrinos e os bósons foram de tipo escalar ou pseudoescalar. Em particular estudamos os processos n i ® nj + c e n i ® n j + c (onde c representa o campo escalar ou pseudoescalar). No vácuo, calculamos as taxas efetivas na ordem mais baixa da teoria de perturbações usando o formalismo convencional para neutrinos de Majorana. Calculamos estas mesmas taxas para o caso da matéria usando o formalismo de helicidade de dois componentes introduzido em [P. Mannheim, Phys. Rev. D. 37, 1935 (1988)] para uma teoria geral (n, m), onde se tem n campos que pertencem a isodubletos de SUL(2) (neutrinos ativos) e m campos isosingletos de SUL(2) (neutrinos estéreis). Decaimentos de neutrinos com tempos de vida relativamentes longos podem ser provados, em principio, através de observações de neutrinos relíquias de supernovas. Portanto, calculamos o uxo de antineutrinos ne relíquias de supernovas que chegam à terra considerando simultaneamente as oscilações e os decaimentos dos neutrinos mencionados anteriormente / Abstract: In this work we study nonradiative decays of Majorona neutrinos, via massless bosons, in vacuum and matter. The considerate couplings between the neutrinos and the bosons were scalar and pseudoscalar. In particular we study the processes n i ® nj + c e n i ® n j + c (where is either scalar or pseudoscalar field). In vacuum, we calculate effective rates in the lowest order of the perturbation theory using the conventional formalism for Majorana neutrinos. We calculate the same rates in the matter case using the two-component helicity formalism introduced in [P. Mannheim, Phys. Rev. D. 37, 1935 (1988)] for a general theory, where there are neutrino fields belong to SUL(2) isodoublets (active neutrinos) and neutrino fields belong to SUL(2) isosinglets (sterile neutrinos). Neutrino decays of relatively long lifetimes could be proved, in principle, through of supernova relic neutrino (SRN) observations. Therefore, we calculate the antineutrinos ux of SRN that arrive to the Earth simultaneously considering both neutrino oscillations and the previously mentioned neutrino decays / Mestrado / Física das Particulas Elementares e Campos / Mestre em Física

Abstract In this thesis, the electronic structure of selected atoms was investigated by means of electron and uorescence spectroscopy. Synchrotron radiation was used to excitate atoms in gas phase. In particular, the photoionization and subsequent Auger decay processes in metal vapours were studied as well as the resonant Auger decay in rare gases. The experimental results were analyzed together with theoretical predictions obtained utilizing the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock method.
