💡 The talk will address the development and implementation of detection technologies in two important international scientific projects with Argentine participation. First, the Pierre Auger Observatory, the largest ultra-high energy cosmic ray detector in the world, located in the province of Mendoza, will be discussed. The national contribution in the construction of muon detectors, essential for the study of the chemical composition of cosmic rays, will be detailed. In addition, there will be a talk about the QUBIC Observatory, an experiment designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the residual radiation from the Big Bang. QUBIC seeks to detect the traces of primordial gravitational waves, a key aspect to understanding the first moments of the universe.

📌 Matías has a PhD in Engineering, graduated from the National Technological University. Currently, he works professionally at the Institute of Detection and Astroparticle Technologies (ITeDA). He is head of the Department of Design and Construction of Detectors in the High Energy Technology and Research Management of @cnea_arg, and is also a researcher at @conicetdialoga

🌗 After the presentation, there will be an Open Observation Night at the Observatory.
