• RESEARCH ACTIVITY
My career is in the field of Astroparticle Physics.

Borexino. I am a member of the Borexino international collaboration since 2000. Borexino [66] is a large liquid scintillator detector at Gran Sasso laboratory mainly targeted to low energy solar neutrino spectroscopy. During 21 years I have provided fundamental contributions to all aspects of the experiment including installation, commissioning, operation, calibration [52], electronics, data acquisition, data reconstruction and data analysis. I have been successively a member of four different research groups (Genova, Gran Sasso, Munich, Milano), receiving increasing responsibilities: co-responsible of the analysis of the prototype detector CTF (2001-2003) [72], responsible of the outer detector (2002-2007) [59], co-responsible of the electronics and trigger (2006-2011), responsible of the data acquisition system (2006-2021), co-responsible of the official data reconstruction program (2003-2011), responsible of the data analysis group (2008-2021) for muon track reconstruction and for the identification and suppression of cosmogenic backgrounds. The team I coordinated has produced five collaboration articles [4,19,48,54,59] (see also proc. [2]). During this time Borexino has been the most successful solar neutrino experiment in the world. Among other results, it has provided the first measurement of the flux of 7Be neutrinos [71] (later with increasing precision in [67,58]), the first observation of geophysical neutrinos [63] (later with increasing precision in [50,39,14]), the detection of 8B neutrinos down to the energy of 3 MeV [62] (later improved in [12]), the study of day-night modulation [57] and the first measurement of the pep neutrinos [56]. The last was achieved with the fundamental contribution of the algorithm of suppression of 11C cosmogenic background that I developed [43] and has been awarded by the American Physical Society as one of the most significant results of 2012. Even more important is the first measurement of neutrinos from the fundamental pp reaction which powers the sun [42]. This result has been published on Nature and has been awarded by Physics World as one of the top 10 physics results of 2014. Borexino has performed a complete real-time spectroscopy of solar neutrinos from the reaction of the pp-chain, comprehensively published again on Nature in 2018 [21] and in more details in [16]. In the recent years I put my effort toward the observation of neutrinos from the CNO cycle reaction, that play a fundamental role in stellar astrophysics and cosmology. For this measurement, with my group of analysis I decided to rethink and develop further the techniques for the suppression of 11C cosmogenic background [4], which was mandatory to make the measurement possible. The effort of the whole collaboration was crowned with success in 2020. The first experimental observation of solar neutrinos from the CNO cycle was published on Nature [4] (for the third time for Borexino) and it was listed by Physics World among the Top 10 Breakthrough in Physics 2020 (for the second time for Borexino). In 2021 the European Physical Society awarded the Borexino collaboration the “Giuseppe and Vanna Cocconi Prize for an outstanding contribution to particle Astrophysics and Cosmology” for the discovery of solar neutrinos from the CNO cycle. Borexino is currently being decommissioned after more than 14 years of continuous data taking. We are working toward a final publication on the measurement of the CNO flux with the full statistics and with an improved analysis based on directionality [3,2].

DarkSide. I have been a member of the DarkSide [44] international collaboration from 2011 till 2021, within which I worked to the DarkSide-50 [41] detector, a liquid argon experiment aiming at direct Dark Matter detection. I have developed the read-out electronics, the data acquisition system and the trigger of the Neutron detector and of the Muon detector [36,34] and I have been co-responsible of the operation and of the data analysis. Dark-Side-50 after having used for the first time Argon depleted in 39Ar from an underground source [35], it currently holds the best limit for the elastic scattering of a WIMP on a nucleus in the mass range between 1.8 GeV/c2 and 6 GeV/c2 [20].

SABRE. In 2013 I was one of the founding members of the SABRE [17] collaboration now counting over 40 physicists over USA, Australia and Italy. SABRE aims to verify the controversial observation of Dark Matter by the DAMA experiment, perhaps the most discussed open issue in the field. I am member of the Institutional Board and leader of the Milano group involved in the development of ultra-pure crystals, of the photo-sensors, in sensitivity studies, and simulations. I have designed the software architecture for data reconstruction, and I am leading the team of developers. In 2019 we have completed the detector Proof-of-Principle aimed at the complete characterization of ultra-high radio-purity NaI(Tl) scintillating crystals within an active veto. This was the key strategical element of SABRE. In 2020 we have commissioned the detector and we have performed the characterization of the best crystal ever realized in the last two decades [7,6]. In 2021 along with the other PIs of the collaboration I have prepared Conceptual Design Report for the next physics phase of the experiment. The proposal was accepted by INFN and it is funded for a validation phase of two years starting in 2022, at the end of which we will submit the Technical Design Report for the experiment.

ASTAROTH. In 2018 I participated to the call ERC-CoG with a project on direct search for Dark Matter based on a new technology. The detector involves cubic NaI(Tl) scintillating crystals in cryogeny and read by SiPM matrices on every face. This would allow to lower the detection threshold to energies of the order a few 100 eV. Sub-keV energies are so far unexplored with this target material and potentially hold a larger fraction of the signal than currently accessible. The project received a final evaluation of ‘A’ and was recommended by the panel PE2 for financing. It could not be financed upon budgetary restrictions. In 2019 I started nevertheless to develop a prototype based on the proposed technology and in 2020 I presented the project to I.N.F.N. (CSN5). ASTAROTH was approved for three years. I am the national responsible and I coordinate the activity of about ten fellow colleagues. During the first two years we have designed an innovative cryogenic system based on liquid argon and able to cool crystals to a temperature that can be tuned within a wide range [proc. 1]. We have performed the study of the NaI(Tl) scintillation properties in a wide range of temperatures. We have characterized SiPM matrices in a wide range of temperatures. We have designed and tested the cryogenic front-end for two different SiPM matrices. We have performed the first cryogenic operation of a NaI(Tl) scintillator read by a SiPM matrix, unprecedented to our knowledge. We have designed an ASIC based on a 110nm technology including test structures for the characterization of the technology at low temperature for digital applications (on chip SiPM signal digitization).

Other R&D activities. I have been member of the international collaboration that designed and proposed the multi-purpose neutrino detector LENA [53]. The proposal later constituted a base for the development of the JUNO [37] anti-neutrino detector, a case study I took part of.
