Part VII – Research Activities
Physicist interested in experiments of high-energy physics (ATLAS experiment) and medical applications of
elementary particle detectors (β- RGS).
ATLAS experiment: From 2002 to 2012, member of the ATLAS Collaboration at the CERN Laboratory in
Geneva. Deeply involved in development, characterization, commissioning and data taking of the detectors
for muon identification and tracking and the trigger system of the ATLAS magnetic spectrometer for the
muon momentum measurement. Active participation in the research of the Higgs boson decay in 4 leptons,
benefiting of the know-how in the muon detectors, with both the Monte Carlo simulation and data analysis.
β- RGS: Since 2012 involved in the development of a novel radio-guided surgery (RGS) technique based on
β- radiation for complete resection of tumors. My many years’ experience in particle detectors allows me to
have a decisive role in the design, development and test of the intraoperative β- probe.

Brief Description
Detailed description of the ATLAS detectors dedicated to the muon
identification and tracking, the Monitored Drift Tube (MDT)
chambers, using a Monte Carlo simulation specific for drift detectors.
Studied in detail the MDT chamber performance also taking into
account the systematics effects due to the environmental parameter
fluctuations.
Participated in the beam-tests of the drift chambers of the ATLAS
muon spectrometer at the CERN laboratories. Tested the MDT
calibration algorithm and measured the chamber performances, (i.e.
the characteristic space-time relation, and the drift time dependence
on the temperature).
Participation in the beam-tests of a complete detector tower of the
ATLAS muon spectrometer at the CERN laboratories. Studied in
detail the Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) for the muon trigger
(primary ionization cluster behavior, correlation between cluster
position and spatial resolution).
Quality test and complete characterization of 192 ATLAS RPC
detectors to be installed in the outer trigger station of the ATLAS
muon spectrometer. Measured the RPC performance (the detection
efficiency, the cluster-size effect, the single counting rate, the readout electrode cross talk).
Development and validation with data and simulation of the muon
trigger logic algorithm, optimizing the event selection for the cosmic
ray tests. Was responsible for the level-1 muon trigger simulation,
during the commissioning phase of the ATLAS muon spectrometer.
First detailed test in cavern of the muon trigger RPC detectors
assembled in a complete trigger sector of the ATLAS muon
spectrometer. Carried out the analysis of the cosmic ray tests,
studying both the single detector response and the trigger tower
performances.
Development and putting in operation of a procedure that
automatically evaluates both the data quality and the calibration of
the MDT chambers. The algorithm performs the diagnostic analysis
of the whole magnetic spectrometer and of each single sub-detector
(more than 300 thousand channels), providing the Collaboration with
global detector monitoring and detailed description of performance
within a few hours. Was responsible of this tool, that was used at the
three calibration sites (located in Italy, Germany and USA) during the
apparatus commissioning, and it is still active during the data taking
of the experiment.
Development of the event selection algorithm for the decay channel

H→ZZ∗→4l. Using Monte Carlo simulation, made the event
selection more efficient by correcting the electron identification
criteria and the leptonic track fitting. Additionally optimized the
rejection of the main reducible backgrounds (Zbb and Zjetjet).
Evaluation of the muon momentum measurement with the ATLAS
spectrometer performance with the first data of the LHC p-p
collisions.
Muon trigger and reconstruction efficiency measurements, essential
parameters to be included in the cross section measurement of the
neutral vector boson decay Z→µµ. This result was also crucial to
complete the calibration of the muon momentum measurement with
the ATLAS magnetic spectrometer.
Development of a multivariate analysis technique for the event
selection for the research of the Higgs boson decay H→ZZ∗→4l,
increasing the discovery potential.
Characterization of different scintillating materials (para-terphenyl,
CsI(Tl)) and particle detectors (PMT and SiPM) finalized to realize a
first β- intraoperative probe prototype. Design optimization using
both Monte Carlo simulation (GATE) and tests in laboratory.
Realization of the first prototype.
Designing and development of two new probe prototypes (form
factor, materials, particle detectors, readout electronics) in order to
explore different solutions for different clinical applications.
Tests in laboratory of the prototypes with radioisotope sources to
characterize the devices (working point, sensitivity, spatial resolution
and minimal detectable activity).
Design and fabrication of ad-hoc phantoms simulating tumor remnant
pattern embedded in healthy tissue. Development of test procedures
to study the response of the probe in this simulated environment.
Collaboration with nuclear physicians to identify the optimal clinical
case candidates for the novel β- based RGS technique and to develop
procedures of clinical tests.
Feasibility study of the β- RGS technique for cerebral (meningioma
and high grade glioma) and neuroendocrine tumors: uptake to
radiotracer (90Y-DOTATOC), tumor to non-tumor activity ratio in
patients, study on the potentialities of the RGS with the β- probe.
Clinical test of the intraoperative probe prototype on patient with
hepatic metastasis at the Arcispedale Santa Maria Nuova, Reggio
Emilia (Italy).
