Ricerc@Sapienza

Associated member of INFN since 2018, my research activity is focused on the search for low mass Dark Matter (DM) candidates, collaborating with two DM direct detection experiments: DarkSide and CYGNO. As a member of these two collaborations, I'm working both on phenomenological and experimental aspects, having developed a Bayesian analysis framework employed in my recent publications [JCAP04 (2020) 037 e JHEP 2020, 34 (2020)]. For the DarkSide-20k collaboration I am involved in the conclusive analysis of the data from the DarkSide-50 prototype: thanks to the inclusion of the so-called Migdal effect, it will be possible to extend the experimental sensitivity. In the context of the CYGNO collaboration I contributed to the sensibility studies, to the development of the Geant4 simulation of the experiment, and I am one of the promoters of a measurement of the Migdal effect, which has not been measured yet, using the CYGNO prototypes.
