---|---|---|
2022/09 - Current | Coordinator of the neutrinoless double beta decay group of the XLZD collaboration, responsible for assessing and making design
recommendations for optimising the sensitivity of this 3rd generation dark matter detector to this rare decay in Xe-136
Coordinator
|
|
2019/10 - Current | Coordinator of the High Energy ER group of the LZ collaboration, responsible for the studies of all rare decays in xenon isotopes,
in particular the neutrino less double beta decay in Xe136
Coordinator
|
|
2019 - Current | Writing committee of the LUX paper "Search for two neutrino double electron capture of 124Xe and 126Xe in the full exposure
of the LUX detector", submitted to Physical Review C, arXiv:1912.02742 [nucl-ex]
Coordinator
|
|
2013 - Current | Coordinator of the Data Processing group of the LUX experiment, for which I was elected by the board composed by all Principal
Investigators in the collaboration. In this position I made many contributions to the software framework used and various
of the analysis modules of the experiment, and am still to this day responsible for maintaining the data processing framework
and for reprocessing LUX data for specific analyses.

double beta decays of 134Xe"
Member
|
|
2018/04 - 2019/10 | Coordinator of the backgrounds working group of the LZ collaboration. This is one of the 4 top analysis coordination positions
in the LZ collaboration, below only that of the general Physics Coordination position, for which I was elected by a board
composed by all Principal Investigators in the collaboration. This group is responsible for providing a full background model
of the experiment prior to the start of data taking and for developing the required techniques to tune and validate the model
once data acquisition begins.
Coordinator
|
|
2016 - 2019 | Coordinator of the Backgrounds and Background Simulations group of the LZ project, responsible for estimating the backgrounds
created by the detector building materials and contaminants mixed in the xenon (merging information on the radioactivity levels
with the results from detailed Monte Carlo simulations of each of each detector component)
Coordinator

matter experiment", Phys. Rev. D 97 (2018), 102008, doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.97.102008, arXiv:1712.05696 [physics.ins-det].

Member
|
|
2014 - 2016 | Coordinator of the analysis group responsible for the WIMP search data for the reanalysis of the first science run of the
LUX experiment, for which I was nominated by the analysis coordinator of the experiment. This reanalysis was performed after
a set of very detailed calibrations of the detector and comprised a complete revision of the initial data processing and analysis
algorithms, leading to the publication of an improved WIMP exclusion limit, particularly relevant at low WIMP masses.
Coordinator
