Research interests |
Gamma Astrophysics: design, assembly and test of the main part (the silicon-tungsten tracker) of a next generation gamma ray satellite (AGILE) which will be launched in 2006; design, assembly and test of photon tagged facilities both at the BeamTest Facililty at INFN Frascati and at the PS lines (East Hall, CERN). At the moment the offline analysis is being developed using the calibration data. Medical Physics: design, assembly and test of next generation real time dosimeters (scintillator based) for scattered and primary radiation in radiotherapic accelerators; development of a neutron radiotherapic beam using hospital linear accelerators to treat special cancers (diffused like stomach or liver ones or in particular positions like brain ones) with BNCT (Boron Neutron Capture Therapy). The project, called PHONES, is a INFN/University collaboration (national responsible G. Giannini, Trieste). Nuclear Physics: development of a scintillating fiber tracker with multianode photomultipliers for the measurement of antiproton cross-sections at CERN (ASACUSA experiment, national responsible E. Lodi Rizzini, Brescia) |
