In 1995 graduated in Physics at the University of Bologna.
Received his Ph.D. in High Energy Physics from the University of
Pavia in 1999. For his thesis research he worked at the Fermi
National Accelerator Laboratory of Chicago.
He was postdoc fellow at the Istituto di Tecnologie e Studio delle
Radiazioni Extraterrestri and at the University of Bologna before
joining the Istituto Nazionale Fisica Nucleare as tenure track
researcher.
He has been researcher at the University of Bologna (Rimini
campus) and now works at the Department of Physics in Bologna.
Scientific Activity
His current research interests are focused on experimental particle
physics. More in detail, he worked on high energy proton-antiproton
interactions at Fermilab and, more recently, on neutrino experiments in collaboration
with the Istituto Nazionale Fisica Nucleare.
Since 1996 he is member of the CDF Collaboration at the Fermilab
Tevatron Collider. The Tevatron is a particle accelerator where
protons collide with a center-of-mass energy of 2 TeV.
He is involved with the activities of the Quantum Chromo Dynamics
working group, focusing on the study of phenomenological models of
non-perturbative components of hadronic collisions and on the
transition of soft interactions toward higher momentum
transfers.
In particular, his analysis topics are the final state of
minimum-bias interactions, the so called Underlying Event
and multiple parton-parton interactions (the partons are the
constituents of the protons; massive partons are called
quarks).
Among the papers recently published, it is worth mentioning a
systematic set of inclusive measurements that contributed greatly
to the setup of MonteCarlo models for the Cern LHC collider physics
program and that provided the first detailed evaluation of the QCD
background to high transverse momentum collisions.
He has been involved also in the measurements of events with
rapidity gaps and of K0, Lambda0 and
D0 mesons in the low transverse momentum region.
He has been responsible for the project and realization of the high
multiplicity trigger.
From 2010 to 2013 he focused on the search for the Higgs boson in
the reaction pp->ttH+X with totally hadronic final state.
Since 2009 works also to the Cuore experiment, a research project
for the search of neutrinoless double beta decay. The experiment
consist of a high purity bolometer located in the Gran Sasso INFN
laboratory.
He contributed to the setup of the Permanent Storage Area, a
decontaminated area where the radiopure bolometer parts are kept
free of recontamination. He has been the responsible for the
creation and
maintenance of the database.
At the moment, he is responsible of the Bologna group involved in the project of the slow-control
system.
Since 2017 he collaborates to the Fermilab neutriino program in the experiments DUNE and SBN. After completing the integration of the old analogic pmt control systems into the SBN control, he is responsible for the remote control of the PMT high voltage system which is based on Epics.
Starting from 2020 he contributes also to the DUNE SiPM mass test at the cryogenic facility of DiFA.
Is author or co-author of many scientific papers on international
journals with high impact factor; 48 of his papers received more
than 100 citations each. A list of publications may be found on the
