Research field: experimental particle physics
Present (1-2) and past (3-6) activities:
1) ATLAS experiment at the LHC at CERN - perturbative and non-perturbative QCD, in particular double-parton scattering, and application of neural computing to data classification
2) Linear e+/e- Collider (FCAL Collaboration) - design of the luminosity detector for future linear colliders: ILC and CLIC; design and tests of thin silicon detectors for the tungsten LumiCal
3) Bubble chambers - particle production in pi/p and K/p scattering and double scattering processes in pi/d interactions at high energy
4) CDHSW Collaboration - nucleon structure function determination from charge current nu/Fe and nu^bar/Fe interactions and precise determination of sin^2(theta_W) from neutral to charge current cross section ratio in nu/Fe
5) ZEUS Collaboration - deep inelastic electron-proton inclusive, diffractive and exclusive scattering
6) General - application of Artificial Neural Networks to particle identification (pioneer in the subject)
