Research interests

I am involved, together with the INFN Pisa group, in the MEG and MEG-II experiment to search for the µ→eγ decay, both in Monte Carlo simulation (detector design and optimization) and in construction (study of the neutron background, study of the properties of liquid xenon, photomultiplier calibration in a cryogenic test station) with particular emphasis on the experiment calibration.

I am also working on experimental cosmology, in particular using cryogenic detectors. The group I am leading is involved in the development of detectors and readout for the search of the imprint of cosmological inflation by measuring the B-mode polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background. We are currently involved in two projects: the balloon-borne LSPE experiment, to be launched by arctica, and the space-borne LiteBIRD mission, to be launched in late 20s.
