11 Detail of Research Activities

11.1 With the ALEPH collaboration (1998-1999)

My laurea thesis (Sep.1998-Jul.1999) concerned a measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry of the b and c quarks produced at the Z peak at LEP. Ideveloped an original method to measure simultaneously the b and c asymmetries,together with Doctor Alessia Tricomi of the University of Catania, Doctor VitalianoCiulli of the University of Pisa, and Doctor Stephan Monteil of the University ofClermont-Ferrand.

This method is based on the combination of several variables in a neural network.The two outputs of the network are optimized to get a b-tagging or a uds-tagging.Another combination of variables is given to a second neural network to separate theb→ ` decays from the b→ c→ ` decays. From these three network outputs three-dimensional spectra are built, and data distributions are compared with MonteCarlo ones. After a minimization procedure, the asymmetry value is obtained.

The results of this work have been presented several times at the Heavy Flavourworking group, and at the General Meeting of the ALEPH collaboration, and yieldedan internal note [2] and a contributed paper to the International Europhysics Con-ference, High Energy Physics 99 - Tampere, 15-21 July 1999 [3].

The results of this work gave an improvement of 20% and 30% to the error ofAb

FB and AcFB respectively. The measured value of sin2 θeff

W represented the bestdetermination at that moment. The method of separation of b, c and uds quarkshas been used in other ALEPH analyses, like the Higgs boson searches and thestudy of the CP violation in B0 → J/ψK0

S decays.

11.2 With the CMS collaboration (2000-present)

11.2.1 Hardware activities (construction and testing)

In 2000 I started working with the CMS collaboration, contributing to the TrackerProject. My first contribution was the characterization of silicon strip detectorsof different thickness, and the study of the response of these detectors to a laser


pulse versus the detector thickness. During that period I co-tutored a student whoprepared a master thesis on Silicon Strip Detectors for the CMS Tracker.

In 2001 I started to prepare the setup for the test of the Silicon Strip Modulesin Catania. I was responsible for the installation of the system for the Fast Test,to be done immediately after the bonding of the modules. I installed from scratchand tested the software necessary for this kind of work, and I installed and testedthe hardware modules used in this task [4].

I contributed also, together with Doctor Alessia Tricomi and Professor Sebas-tiano Albergo, to the setup and optimization of the System for the Long Term Testof the same Modules, in which every single module has been monitored for 72 hours,cycling its temperature between +20oC and -20oC while read, in order to simulatethe thermal stress affecting the modules during the normal detector operation.

Between 2002 and 2006 the Catania Lab bonded and tested about 500 modules,most of which tested by me, that are now placed in the CMS Tracker. The qualityof the produced modules was excellent, with a number of rejected modules of theorder of 2% and a number of bad strips of the order of 0.1% [5]. The work done forthe Module Test has been presented several times at the meetings of the CMS Col-laboration at CERN. I presented also a communication about the CMS Silicon StripModule Construction to the “Frontier Science 2005: New Frontiers in SubnuclearPhysics” International Conference, held in Milano, 12-17 September 2005.

I contributed to the setup of the experiment and to the data taking during aTracker test beam at CERN in May 2003 (using secondary and tertiary pion andmuon beams at SPS) [6].

In October 2005 I participated in a measurement at the Laboratori Nazionalidel Sud (LNS) in Catania. A double-sided CMS Silicon Module has been irradiatedwith a 26 MeV proton beam in order to evaluate the resistance to radiation of theCMS modules in an environment similar to the one expected for the CMS Trackerafter 10 years of data taking at LHC. I participated in every stage of this work,from the conception, to the installation, data taking and analysis. The final resultsshowed no observable worsening of the performance of the detector in terms ofnoise and of response to an internal calibration signal. The work was presented tothe 6th International Conference on Radiation Effects on Semiconductors MaterialDetectors and Devices, held in Florence 10-13 October 2006, and has been publishedin a specialized journal [7]

In Summer 2006 I participated in the data taking of the Magnet Test / Cos-mic Challenge (MTCC) of the CMS experiment, whose aim was to test the CMSsolenoid, but also to collect a large number of cosmic muon signals in order to testthe capability of the various CMS subdetectors to work in an integrated way, totest the trigger of the experiment and to verify whether the software and comput-ing system is capable to manage the data taking and analysis phase. At the end ofAugust 2006 the MTCC-phase 1 ended, with more than 25 million collected events.I worked on the data analysis of the MTCC. I was responsible for the productionof Monte Carlo events for the Tracker Community and I studied the comparisonbetween data and Monte Carlo in order to tune the parameters included in thesimulation of the Tracker detectors. I have presented this work several times inthe Tracker working groups meeting. The analysis on the MTCC data has beenpublished in an international journal [8].

In winter 2006 I participated to the installation of the CMS tracker. In a clean


room set up at CERN for this aim, I worked in a team of people to integrate themodules into a unique instrument.

In 2007 I participated to the commissioning of the CMS tracker. After the fullinstallation of the detector, its capability to work in a cooled environment and fora prolonged period has been tested. Shifts of 24 hours have been set up to keep thetracker under constant monitoring during its operation. This work is needed to testthe various aspects concerning such a complicated detector, such as slow-control,monitoring, calibrations, data acquisition. Data coming from cosmic events havealso been collected. The commissioning of the CMS tracked before its installationhas been described in three articles in international journals [9].

In 2009 I developed a package for the ECAL laser monitoring Data Quality Mon-itor (DQM). The CMS ECAL is made with lead tungsten (PbWO4) crystals. Thesecrystals experience a dose rate dependent decrease of their transparency under ir-radiation on the level of a few percent which recovers in irradiation free periods.To ensure the stability of the calorimetric response at a level of a few per mille,every channel of the detector is monitored with a laser monitoring system. Thissystem allows to measure fluctuations in the detector response with high precision.The laser monitoring system has to be monitored itself to ensure it’s working prop-erly, and to ensure that data taken from the laser are of good quality. A lack ofinformation in the laser monitoring data compromises the collision data taken bythe ECAL. The package I developed produces histograms for laser data read byECAL and by an acquisition card internal to the laser (Matacq) and put them inthe official DQM framework for shifter use. The work has been presented manytimes in the ECAL meetings.

11.2.2 Software and Analysis

During my Ph.D. course I produced and analysed data simulated through a FastSimulation software used by the CMS collaboration called CMSJET. I contributedalso to the debugging of the code. My study was focused to three different super-symmetric scenarios, in order to evaluate the capability of the CMS detector toobserve supersymmetric particles and measure their masses. In particular, I devel-oped a method to identify the χ0

2 → ˜±R`∓ → χ0

1`±`∓ decay chain, using events with

two different flavours and opposite sign leptons, jets and missing transverse energyin the final state. The method has been extended to reconstruct the particles fromwhich the χ0

2 comes, such as squarks and gluinos, measuring their masses. I lookedat every aspect of the study: the generation (using Pythia [10], Isajet [11] andComphep [12]); the study of the physics objects used for the analysis (jets, leptons,transverse missing energy); the estimate of the backgrounds.

The work described in my thesis has been presented several times by many mem-bers of the CMS and ATLAS Collaborations in different International Conferences.I also presented my work at the “Lake Louise Winter Institute”, held in Lake Louise(Canada), in February 2002, and at the “Physics at LHC” International Conference,held in Prague (Czech Republic), in July 2003. An note of the CMS Collaborationhas been extracted from my Ph.D. Thesis [13].

During my Ph.D. I participated also in the studies of the LHC/ILC WorkingGroup, that tries to estimate the possible interplay between the Large Hadron Col-lider and a Linear Collider. My work has been included in a report of the group,published in Physics Reports [14].


After the reorganization of the CMS Physics Groups, I entered the PhysicsReconstruction and Selection Working Group (PRS), actively participating in theactivities of the PRS-SUSY and Beyond the Standard Model. In the years 2004-2006I worked on an analysis to evaluate the capability of CMS to observe supersymmetricevents in the leptons+jets+missing transverse energy final state using a detailedsimulation of the detector, in collaboration with Doctor Alessia Tricomi, and DoctorMario Galanti, a Ph.D. Student I contributed to tutor. This work showed thepossibility to discover Supersymmetry within the first year of data taking at LHCin some Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) scenarios. In particularI paid special attention to how to detect electrons, since they are often misidentifiedas jets in this kind of analysis, to how to suppress the Standard Model backgrounds,and how to trigger the desired events. My work entered the CMS Physics TechnicalDesign Report (P-TDR), volume II [15], Chapter 13, Section 8 and yielded anofficial note of the CMS Collaboration [16] as well as a poster at the “Physics atLHC” International Conference, held in Krakow, in July 2006, and a talk at theInternational Conference “SUSY 2007” held in Karlsruhe in July 2007.

In 2007 I continued working in the PRS-SUSY and Beyond the Standard Model,porting the code developed for the analysis done for the PTDR to the new softwareframework of the CMS collaboration, called CMSSW. I payed a special attention tothe trigger paths used for the analysis. In the summer of 2007 the CMS collaborationfaced the Computing, Software and Analysis challenge 2007 (CSA07), a general testin view of the forthcoming data taking. In order to mimic the results of a true datataking, the Monte Carlo samples have been produced mixing the various StandardModel and signal channels (Monte Carlo soup), which had to be separated in asubsequent stage. I participated for the SUSY working group writing the codefor the skimming of the Monte Carlo soup for the lepton+jets+missing transverseenergy analysis. The work is described in a note of the CMS collaboration [17].

In Winter 2007 I have been nominated by the PRS-SUSY and Beyond the Stan-dard Model conveners as responsible for the Trigger Validation of the group. Forthis work, lead in collaboration with Doctor Maria Spiropulu and Doctor MaurizioPierini from CERN, during winter 2007 and the whole 2008 I prepared a softwarechecking the trigger efficiencies for all the paths foreseen in the CMS experimentsfor the various releases of the software framework. The aim of the work, in thepre-data stage, is to check the trigger stability during the evolution of the software,and to detect eventual bugs or problems related to those trigger paths of main in-terest for SUSY and other Beyond the Standard Model studies. The work has beenpresented many times at the meeting of the SUSY and Exotica working groups andat the meetings of the Trigger Studies Group (TSG) of the CMS collaboration. Theresult of this work produced a CMS note [18]. In 2008, after the splitting of thePRS-SUSY and Beyond the Standard Model group into two working groups, calledSUSY and Exotica, I have been nominated Trigger Validator for both the groups.

In Summer 2008 I have been nominated by the convener of the SUSY workinggroup as Trigger Contact person together with Doctor Gheorghe Lungu of RockfellerUniversity.

In 2009 the trigger validation work has evolved: I started a second effort togetherwith Doctor Pierini and Doctor Spiropulu, whose aim was not the simple check ofthe trigger stability during the software evolution, but the check of goodness of thevarious trigger tables planned for the data taking. In the simulations, two scenarioshave been considered for the trigger tables: one for the 8×1029 cm−1 s−1 luminosity


and one for the 1031 cm−1 s−1 luminosity. Our work consisted of a check on thecapability of the trigger table to pick-up expected new physics signals. We producedabout 30 different samples of new physics scenarios, and we analyzed the triggerbehaviour for each of them for the current trigger tables. The results of the workhave been summarized in a CMS note [19]

In October 2009 a big computing exercise (called the October Exercise) hasbeen performed by the CMS collaboration in order to test the readiness of thecomputing system and the capability to perform many simultaneous analyses ina distributed way. In view of this activity, the SUSY group proposed a model ofdataset organization in an official CMS document [20]. I contributed to this paperwith the estimate of the rates and sizes for the proposed Datasets, and with theproposal of the trigger paths to be used for the SUSY analyses.

In 2010 I ported the Trigger Validation code to the official CMS DQM package, inorder to be able to monitor the results in a centralized way. The validation for SUSYis hence now performed in a semiautomatic way, with the plots already put in theDQM GUI just after the production of the samples. I am now gradually quittingthis effort, helping the graduated student Alex Mott from California Institute ofTechnology to replace me starting from the beginning of January 2011, but theSUSY group can profit from the porting of the Validation package to the DQMinterface to implement the plots used for the Validation of the SUSY dedicatedtrigger paths foreseen for the 2011-2012 run.

I’m presently working on many tasks:

• Physics Datasets Working Group: the Physics management of the CMS Col-laboration has given mandate to a small team to define, manage, monitorand evolve the Physics Primary Datasets (PD), Secondary Datasets (SD) andCentral Skims (CS). I have been invited to be part of this team. The scope isthe definition of the datasets to be used by the collaboration for analyses. Inthe CMS computing model, data taken by the experiment are sent to a CERNcomputing structure, the Tier-0 (T0), for reconstruction. Reconstructed dataare split in Primary Datasets and sent to the Tier-1’s (T1) all over the world.The T1’s split data into Secondary Datasets or Central Skims and send themto the T2’s. The difference between Secondary Datasets and Central Skimsis given by the type of objects used for the definition: Secondary Datasetsare defined using only the trigger bit information, in order to be persistent,the Central Skims can have cuts on reconstructed objects. In future userswill be allowed to access only the Secondary Datasets or the Central Skimsfor their analyses, even if for the moment the access to the Primary Datasetsis permitted. It is therefore of big importance to define Dataset and Skimdefinitions good enough to allow all the datasets to be correctly stored in theT1’s and T2’s, ensuring also to the final users the possibility to access datain a fast and efficient way. I took care of the code and the production of allthe Central Skims produced during the 2010 run: a skim designed for theQuarkonia analysis, a skim for the studies of the Tau object, a skim used bythe JetMET group for the Jet calibration, a skim based on SuperClusters forphysics analyses with photons, a skim based on leptons, useful for many anal-yses in the CMS collaboration (SUSY, Top, Electroweak, Higgs). The workhas been presented many times in the CMS meetings.

• Exotica Hotline: the scope of this tool is to provide some selected events witha very low rate, of the order of some tens for every day of data taking, but


with a high potential interest for new physics analyses. The aim is to findas fast as possible unusual events and to give a direction to the analyzers,in order to give priorities to studies potentially more promising. The eventscollected in a given day are analyzed during the night. They are sent to theCMS visualization software, and checked by a team of experts. The ExoticaHotline operated for the entire 2010 run, and it was the first tool to find eventscontaining Z’s, W’s and WZ in CMS. In addition, a number of interestingdetector effects have been found: HCAL hits due to noise in Hybrid PhotoDiodes (HPD), HCAL Forward multihits due to read-out box noise, spikes inthe ECAL, cosmic faking “muon jets”. The feedback given by the ExoticaHotline to the Detector and the Object groups of the CMS detector has beenof fundamental importance for the understanding and the solution of all theseproblems. I am one of the main developer of the tool, being the author of allthe code of the filters selecting the events. The work attracted the attentionof some journalists, and I have been interviewed by the magazine “SymmetryBreaking” and by the CERN Bullettin.

• Analysis of final states with leptons: following my past experience of analysison simulated Supersymmetric data, I entered a group to perform analysis onreal data. The group is composed by the University of Catania, the ETH(Zurich), University of Teheran, University of Oviedo and University of San-tander. The aim of the group is to search for supersymmetric events lookingat events with two leptons in the final state, with both the same sign andopposite sign pairs. In the same sign dilepton search true same-sign physicsbackgrounds, such as WWjj, are negligible for a small amount of integratedluminosity, like the one collected in the 2010 run. The focus is on data-drivenestimations of the backgrounds where one (W+jets and tt) or both (QCD)of the leptons are fake. The fake rate estimate is done using the so-calledfakeable object method [21]. For the opposite-sign dilepton search, the lowluminosity accumulated in the 2010 makes the edge method I developed forthe CMS Physics TDR not easily usable. The focus is on the data-drivenbackground estimates using the ABCD method. Notes for these two analysesare in preparation.

• Triggers for the SUSY analysis: in 2010, given the fast increase of the instan-taneous luminosity of the LHC, the SUSY group formed a subgroup called“SUSY trigger working group”. I have been nominated convener of the group.The scope is the definition of the trigger strategies for all the analyses of theSUSY group, the proposal of the tables to the Trigger group, the study of theefficiencies, and the implementation of the paths in the CMS software. Mem-bers from many analyses are part of the group, and contribute to the studiesconcerning their analysis. As convener, I have to coordinate the activities,find compromises among the various requests, provide the tools needed forthe various studies, make the information flowing between the SUSY groupand the Trigger Studies Group (TSG), do the rate estimates for the proposedtriggers, implement them in the CMS software. During the 2010 run, 12 dif-ferent trigger menus have been deployed online, for the various luminositiesreached by the machine. The inital luminosities were very low, lower than1029 cm−2 s−1 The trigger tables designed for the start-up phase were verysimple, based essentially on single and double objects (jets, electrons, muons,missing trasverse energy), with very low thresholds applied on their pT . Theluminosity has gradually increased up to 2×1032 cm−2 s−1 in October 2010.When the luminosity increases, new conditions must be applied to the trig-ger definitions to keep the rates at acceptable levels. With the SUSY trigger


group, we defined some triggers dedicated to the SUSY analyses (like cross-triggers with leptons and HT). The triggers have been deployed online startingfrom the 6×1031 cm−2 s−1 luminosity. Work in ongoing for the 2011-2012 run,which is expected to reach much higher luminosities. Notes for these studiesare in preparation.
