The Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is the largest calorimeter-based space-borne experiment. Since its launch in December 2015, DAMPE detects electrons, positrons and gamma rays from few GeV to 10 TeV, as well as protons and heavier nuclei from 10 GeV to 100 TeV. The study of galactic and extragalactic gamma-ray sources and diffuse emissions as well as the search for dark-matter...
The Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE), a satellite-borne experiment capable of detecting gamma rays from few GeV to 10 TeV, studies the galactic and extragalactic gamma-ray sky and is at the forefront of the search for dark-matter spectral lines in the gamma-ray spectrum. In this contribution we detail the development of a convolutional neural network (CNN) model for the trajectory...
Proton beam therapy can potentially offer improved treatment for cancers of the head and neck and in pediatric patients. Proton therapy is a promising new type of cancer treatment, can be targeted more directly at the tumor and does less damage to other tissue. Treatments are currently planned using conventional X-ray CT images. It is happening due to the absence of devises able to perform...
The Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is a space-based cosmic-ray
observatory with the aim, among others, to study cosmic-ray electrons (CREs) up to 10 TeV. Due to the low CRE rate at multi-TeV, we increase the acceptance by selecting events outside of the fiducial volume. Non-fiducial events, with their complex topology, do however require special treatments with sophisticated analysis...
The Einstein Telescope, the proposed next-generation European ground-based GW observatory, will dramatically increase our capability to detect GW signals. The number of detections is expected to grow from the current O(1/week) to O(1/minute), which will have a revolutionary impact on both our ability to study the dark universe and on multi-messenger science. In order to fully benefit from this...
For the first time, the R=0.4 jet energy resolution (JER) is evaluated using a dataset reconstructed from pileup events with the ATLAS detector. Traditionally, JER evaluated using the pT imbalance of dijet events is limited by the available statistics at low pT due to the increasingly prescaled jet triggers. An alternative approach is to utilize pileup events, which are recorded at the same...
Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are promising candidates for dark matter. Their annihilation or decay might result in almost monochromatic gamma rays, which the Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) could identify over the Galaxy astrophysical gamma-ray emissions. In this contribution, the first steps of the analysis: the selection of the gamma-ray events with the DAMPE satellite...
The decays $B^0_{(s)} \rightarrow K^0_SK^0_S$ proceed via flavor changing neutral currents that are suppressed in the Standard Model and therefore provide greater sensitivity to new physics. The latest measurements of their branching fractions exhibit some tension with the SM.
Since the time of the existing measurement, the LHCb experiment has collected a large amount of data and has had...
The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) has been in operation since December 2015 and has been continuously detecting cosmic rays (CRs) for more than 8 years. With its large acceptance (0.3 m$^2$ sr) and deep calorimeter (32 $X_0$), DAMPE allows to measure proton amd heavy nuclei fluxes up to hundreds of TeV with an improved energy resolution and statistics.
CRs can be classified as...
The MONOLITH H2020 ERC Advanced project aims at producing a high-granularity monolithic silicon pixel detector with picosecond-level time stamping. To obtain such extreme timing the project exploits: i) a fast and low-noise SiGe BiCMOS electronics; ii) a novel sensor concept, the Picosecond Avalanche Detector (PicoAD), that uses a patented multi-PN junction to engineer the electric field and...
Many LHC measurements with multi-lepton final states and missing energy, in particular top differential distributions, show strong tensions with the SM predictions. I discuss how they can be explained by new physics within the ∆2HDMS and show the correlations to the hints for narrow resonances at the electroweak scale.
The NA62 experiment, located at CERN SPS, is designed to study the ultra-rare decay K+ --> pi+ nu nubar. It has collected the world larges charged koan decay sample with a decay in flight technique. In this poster, the result with the data set collected in Run 1 (2016-2018) is presented, which is the most accurate measurement achieved so far. Updates with Run 2 (2021 onwards) data set is discussed.
FASER, an experiment at the LHC, aims to search for light, weakly interacting particles produced in proton-proton collisions at the ATLAS interaction point and travel in the far-forward direction. First search of detecting a light, long-lived particle decaying into photon pairs, using 2022 and 2023 collision data will be reported. Targeting axion-like particles (ALPs) primarily coupling to...
T2K is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment with world-leading precision on the measurement of the CP violating phase $δ_{CP}$ in the lepton sector of the Standard Model. The T2K Near Detector is undergoing an hardware upgrade with the installation of 4 sub-detectors: two High-angle TPCs, a TOF detector, and the Super-FGD. Some of the remarkable advantages of the upgrade are larger...
