The group
The research group in Experimental Physics operates in the field of fundamental interactions and solid-state physics. The group collaborates with the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN), the National Research Council (CNR), and the CERN at Geneve, the experimental activity is carried out at the major experimental facilities in Italy and Europe.
Research activity
Material characterization through electron microscopy techniques (SEM and TEM) as well as X-rays spectroscopy. Image analysis and simulation. Development of three-dimensional reconstruction algorithms assisted by compressed sensing and artificial intelligence. Study of fundamental interactions through high-energy collisions (Pb-Pb or proton-proton) and formation of neutral systems of antiparticles. Particle detectors. MonteCarlo simulations.
