Henrique Vieira de Souza

I have experience in the field of Astroparticle physics, with two undergraduate projects scholarships and a master degree in this field. My first project was to built and studied a Muon Telescope in Campinas, called MUONCA from 2013 to 2014. This work was awarded as Scientific Merit of PIBIC ? UNICAMP, being considered one of the top twenty poster presented. The publication from Augusto, C. R. A. used data collected from the MUONCA telescope in a collaboration between our universities. The second project was developed from 2014 to 2015 about a Cherenkov tank restructuring for muon detection, being this detector like those used in Pierre Auger Observatory. I have obtained my master degree on physics with the dissertation: "Study of Solar activities with ground based particle detectors" which work I have presented in two international schools. In my Ph.D, I have worked in the Light Detection systems for Liquid Argon TPCs in neutrinos experiments. My current project aim to characterize and optimize the ARAPUCA devise: a light trapping devise based in wavelength shifters and dichroic filters to detect light of 128 nm produced in the Liquid Argon scintillation. The main publication of the work will be soon submitted, but a simplified version from Segreto, E. was published with a summarize of the data analysis done by me. In January, 2020 I have received a fellowship to spend one month at Fermilab, working for the Short Baseline Neutrino Detector (SBND) in the assemble of the TPC. In 2020, I was awarded a scholarship for a one year PhD in Italy at the Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca where I worked in the characterization of the DUNE Photon Detection System. One of my publications about the enhancement of the X-Arapuca was performed in this period, with data collection and analysis. During my Ph.D I have participated in three international schools, presenting two posters (one was selected as best poster) and two workshops. Nowdays, I work as a post-doc for CNRS at the Laboratoire Astroparticule et Cosmologie (APC) involved with the DUNE second module R&D.
