Luca SCOTTO LAVINA |
I am at the second year of my Ph.D. thesis work at the University of Naples. My main activity is the evaluation of signal and background expected in experiments that aim to provide evidence of neutrino oscillations, searching in nuclear emulsions for the appearance of tau neutrinos in a muonic neutrino beam. This work is focused on the analysis of specific topologies of neutrino interactions in emulsions and the statistical treatment of the results. These studies are carried out for the CHORUS and OPERA experiments, to maximize their sensitivity to neutrino oscillation. I am involved in "Phase II" emulsion scanning for the CHORUS experiment, with a new technique recently developed. |

For my Ph.D. thesis I am working on the electric and magnetic polarizabilities of hadrons. Especially, I am focused on the process of Compton scattering on pions. My task is to predict theoretically these polaribilities via extracting from the differential cross sections and to provide these polarizabilities for the preparing experiment in Hall B in Jefferson Lab. They are going to investigate the feasibility of measuring the polarizabilities of positive charged pion using polarized photons and the CLAS detector. |

The topic of my Ph.D. thesis is the problem of ultra-high energy cosmic rays, in particular the composition of primary particles with energy above 10e19 eV. The compositional behaviour plays a crucial role in attempts to undestand the origin and nature of cosmic rays in this energy range. I am currently starting a collaboration with the experimental group working on Pierre Auger Observatory, the biggest detector of cosmic ray which is currently under construction in Argentina. I will be working on the analysis of the data from the fluorescence detectors. |

My present activity is concerned with computer simulations of particle physics in hadron colliders. Our group performs analysis of the possibilities to observe Heavy Higgs boson signal in H0->Z0Z0->ll~nunu~ decays at CMS (CERN). I took part in construction of the Linux cluster for carrying out the CMS physics simulations and data processing. According to the plans of our research group, we took part in the CMS SUMMER_02 Monte-Carlo event production run. |

My Ph.D. thesis concerns with the theoretical aspects of lepton-lepton, lepton-nucleon and lepton-nucleus scattering at different kinematics as well as the investigation of background effects in photons scattering at TESLA kinematics. I am working in a theoretical group at NC PHEP within the TESLA. I am investigating the yy->4leptons process, for analyzing the background effects for leptons production at TESLA kinematics. The cross section in the lowest order to yy->4leptons have been performed in framework of helicity amplitude method. Now I am working on the precise covariant calculation of the lowest order cross section for this process. That will allow to appreciate the inaccuracy which appears from applying some approximate methods. |

For my Ph.D. thesis I work in LHCb experiment, a dedicated Beauty particles detector at future LHC collider. I am constructing and testing a prototype of hardware alignment of LHCb Outer Tracker. |
