The Ferrara group works on the design and the construction of innovative detectors to obtain more and more precise information on the Standard Model parameters.
We focus on the development of the next-gen gas detectors, the so-called Micro-Patter Gas Detectors (MPGD).
This new concept is highly effective especially in the environments we can find in the future accelerators. In such environments, we will find huge quantities of data and we will require really precise measurements.
With Italian and International partners, we work on the design of two sub-detectors for the next-gen spectrometer IDEA. This new detector will be one of the two which will be installed in the next e+e- circular collider.
We focus on the muon detector, useful to detect and study the Higgs boson, and the pre-shower, which will allow us to reach highly precise measurements for electromagnetic showers.
