Study of CMS background conditions during LHC beam operation, when
the luminosity increases to reach the factor 10 foreseen by LHC
upgrade project HL-LHC. The research will be focalised on CMS muon
chambers
Research activity on a new medical physics detector to measure the
delivered dose by a radiotherapy accelerator. Study of models of
hadronic interactions in Monte Carlo codes and comparison with
experimental data.
The muon chambers of CMS installed in final configuration, require
to understand their operation with the magnetic field presence or
not, both with cosmic and data.
Tools and programs development to understand how the Monte Carlo
codes deal with some physical quantities regarding the medical
physics with low-energy accelerators and accuracy of experimental
data reproduction. Development of a new radiation (X-ray photons of
a few MeV) detector, used for radiotherapy. The detector is based
on the measurement of Cerenkov radiation and allow to obtain a
continuous map, in real time, of the dose delivered by the
accelerator. The CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) muon
detector is collecting data. The research mainly relies on drift
chambers (DT, Drift tubes) operation. In particular, activity on
chambers control and functioning of the muon trigger electronics,
the signal stability and the study of resolutions.
