Research activities

My research activity is devoted to elementary particle physics. In particular, to CP symmetry violation and standard model testing. I am a member of the NA62 collaboration at CERN in Geneva for the study of ultra-rare decays of charged K mesons. For this experiment, I participated in the design and construction of the detectors and, mainly, in the building of the data acquisition system for which I proposed a system based on the use of graphics processors for data real-time selection. I am involved in data analysis and detector maintenance during data taking. More recently, I have started working on cryogenic detectors for axions and other exotic dark matter candidates detection. Within the Qub-it collaboration of INFN, I study the use of superconducting transmons (essential elements of quantum computers) as possible detectors for these elusive particles.
