  • Short CV: I studied particle physics at the University of Rome ”Tor Vergata”. I graduated within the ATLAS group of Tor Vergata working on the development of a new generation of RPCs gas detector for heavy irradiation environments applications. My research activity during the PhD has been focused on the study of the nuclear fragmentation processes in the interaction of light ion beams with different thin targets. In particular I dealt with the analysis of the data acquired at GSI laboratories with the FIRST (Fragmentation of Ions Relevant for Space and Therapy) experiment, for the measurement of fragmentation differential cross sections. Currently, my post-doc activity focus on the measurements of secondary particles produced in the interaction of ion beams with therapeutical energies with PMMA target, in order to study the feasibility of an on-line monitor for particle therapy treatment.
