Research activity

Bachelor Physics

Degree During the Bachelor degree, Silvia Biondi was involved in the study of neutrino oscil-lations at the SuperKamiokande experiment, in Japan.

Master Physics

Degree During her master thesis, Silvia Biondi evaluated and studied the performances of thenew MicroMegas detectors for the upgrade of the muon spectrometer in the ATLASexperiment. She performed this analysis using data acquired in several beam tests,made during 2012. These measurements were fundamental in order to verify the pos-sibility of increasing the momentum resolution of the muon spectrometer and, at thesame time, decreasing the rate due to the particle interactions with the material in theend-cap region. During her master thesis she also tested and calibrated a MicroMegasprototype in the CERN laboratories using cosmic rays. This study has been crucial

to test different geometries and configurations for building the final chamber setup forthe ATLAS upgrade.

PhD Since the starting of her Ph.D., Silvia Biondi has been involved in the research of theHiggs boson in the associated production with a top-antitop quark pair at the ATLASexperiment. Top quark physics is one of the main topics in the ATLAS physics programboth as a test for the Standard Model (SM) predictions and as a major backgroundto many searches for new physics. Besides, the Higgs boson, discovered in 2012 by theATLAS and CMS collaborations, is actively studied because of its fundamental role inthe electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism. Due to the high top quark mass, thestudy of their associated production is important since it provides a unique opportunityto investigate the Yukawa coupling with the Higgs boson, which is predicted to be closeto one by the SM. During the first year of her Ph.D., she performed these studies onthe events collected by ATLAS in 2012 (20.3 fb-1 of integrated luminosity) at a centerof mass energy of 8 TeV. She has concentrated her effort in the study of the specificdecay channel where the Higgs decays in a pair of W bosons (decaying leptonically)and the top-antitop system decays semi-leptonically (multilepton final states). Thisis one of the purest signature in the Higgs boson searches and provides the highestsensitivity among all the other ttH channels. She has been specifically involved in theimplementation and validation of the Matrix Method. This method provides the fakeleptons estimation, which is the most important contribute to the background for theconsidered final state [P-3].During this period, Silvia Biondi has also collaborated to the study of the muon triggerfor the ATLAS detector upgrade in the so-called Phase-2 [XIII, XIV]. This work wasfinalised to optimise and to measure the trigger performances, adding different layersand different requirements to match muon tracks. The Phase-2 upgrade project con-sists in adding a layer in the muon trigger in order to maximise the trigger efficiencyand reliability in the future busy environment of LHC: the present Level-1 trigger willbe split up into a Level-0, which uses the RPC (Resistive Plate Chambers) trigger,and into a Level-1, which uses the MDT (Monitored Drift Chambers) trigger and thetracker. Performance studies on the RPC system, through simulations and calibration,are necessary to optimise the setup and to determine the possible improvements thatcan be obtained with the new layout. A first study results in an improvement in theRPC efficiency from 73% to 90%. [P-7]In the end of 2014, from the experience gained from the past analysis work, she hasstarted a new study of the Higgs boson production in association with a top-antitopquarks pair, but in a different decay channel. The chosen channel is extremely inte-resting because it is the most frequent final state but, nevertheless, it is still affectedby high systematics uncertainties. In the considered channel, the Higgs decays in abottom-antibottom quarks pair and one top quark decays hadronically (three quarksin the final states) while the other one decays leptonically (a lepton and a neutrinoin the final state). In addition, the analysis has been tuned to increase the selectionefficiency in a region of high transverse momentum (pT) in the final state, never in-vestigated before. This analysis selects events with the presence of a top quark anda Higgs boson with high transverse momentum (pT) in the final state, called boostedregime, using the data acquired by ATLAS at the center of mass energy of 13 TeV.These events have a peculiar signature that differs from the low pT (resolved) regime:boosted particle decay products will form partially overlapped jets due to the Lorentzboost, implying an intrinsic loss of efficiency by the traditional reconstruction algo-rithms and the need to develop new ones. The identification of these objects allowssignificant reduction of the background as well as improvements in selection efficiencyand event reconstruction. The boosted identification strategies take advantage of theparticular substructure of the high transverse momentum jets and many algorithmsbased on that have been developed so far. Many studies have been performed in or-

5

der to understand the best method to reconstructed the topology of the event: thetop-tagging technique has been applied for the first time to the ttH topology [D-1,2]and several studies about the Higgs boson tagging have been performed, looking firstthe already existing W-boson tagging techniques. The final choice for this analysis hasbeen a new jet reconstruction algorithm of the hadronic top and Higgs boson, usingstandard jets (small-R jets) re-clustered in a larger area (large-R jet), which has be-en implemented for the first time in an ATLAS analysis. This re-clustering techniqueallows to explore different radius parameters without the necessity of having a dedica-ted jet calibration, using the standard small-R jets that have been already calibrated.With the full data taking acquired at 13 TeV of center of mass energy (2015-2016),corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 fb−1, the ttH analysis provides a fun-damental contribute for the associated Higgs boson production research [N-1] and ithas become one of the main topic of the ATLAS physics program. Silvia Biondi hasdeveloped all the relevant analysis codes in order to have a common Run2 frameworkwith the others physics groups. Moreover, she has reached the important goal to in-clude the MultiVariate Analysis (MVA) techniques, never used before in this channel,in the analysis framework. Typical areas of application of the MVA are backgroundsuppression, especially in difficult and complex scenarios like ttH production events,and parameter estimation, where a physical quantity is extracted from a set of mea-sured observables. In general, they provide larger efficiency than cut-based analysiswith similar background rejection level. The codes and the particular MVA techniquesdeveloped are now common tools in the ATLAS experiment.This analysis is performed in two complementary ways. The first follows the procedureused in the previous published papers, namely “resolved”, through standard identifi-cation and reconstruction algorithms. The second divides the events in two exclusiveregimes, namely the resolved one including events containing the hadronically decayingtop quark with a low transverse momentum (pT < 250 GeV) and the boosted one withthe opposite requirement (namely “combined”). The low signal to noise ratio observedin these channels required the use and development of advanced statistical tools suchas the MVA technique and the fitting tools to extract the signal strength value andits upper limit. Therefore, the signal has been extracted by defining many indepen-dent sub-samples with different requirements and selecting the ones with the highestsignificance. In the fit procedure, the systematic uncertainties have a crucial role. Dueto their different sources (theory, detector and object reconstruction techniques), eachcontribution has to be correctly taken into account considering the correlations withother systematic uncertainties [P-8, I, V, VII, IX, XI, XII].Silvia Biondi has been the HTop Data Preparation contact person, starting from June2014 to June 2015. In this role she has been the reference person for all the ttH ana-lyses (“Higgs associated with top quark SubGroup” or HTop) with the responsibilitiesof preparing specifications and validations for the HTop event pre-selection in the newDerivation Framework for the Run2, working with the Higgs space manager, being aresource for people in Higgs subgroup performing the analysis with the new tools [X,XV, XVI].She has obtained her Ph.D. degree in March 2017, discussing her thesis about “Studyof the associated production of the Higgs boson with a Top quark pair in a boostedregime in the ATLAS experiment at LHC” [P-12]

Post-doc periods Silvia Biondi has obtained a two-years post-doc contract with the University of Bolo-gna, from July 2017 to June 2019, with a renew for the next two years, from July 2019to June 2021. During this post-doc period she continues the analysis work inside theHTop group, for the full Run-2 publication of the results and for future data takingand, in the ttH analysis group in ATLAS, she has obtained several responsibility roles.Since November 2017, she is the analysis contact of the ttH(bb) analysis. This roleconsists in the coordination of the analysis group (with a particular attention to the

6

boosted ttH(bb) sub-group), the cooperation and strong collaboration with the con-tacts of the other channels (ttH multilepton and di-photon) and the sub-conveners ofthe Top group. This role is a long-term commitment, with the aim of a publication in2019, with the analysis optimised and using the datasets 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018(full Run-2). Since the beginning of 2017, Silvia Biondi has become the fit contactof the boosted ttH group: this role consists in the coordination of the other analysisgroups, producing the inputs for the fit procedure, in running the full fit algorithm andproviding the final results of the boosted ttH analysis. Therefore, she has collaboratedactively with the resolved analysis group in order to produce the combined final result.The goal was to give the most precise result of the ttH production cross section using36 fb−1 and improving the measurements obtained by the ATLAS and CMS collabo-rations with the previous data taking at 8 TeV and with the first part of data at 13TeV (13.2 fb−1,). The analysis, combined with the resolved one, has been publishedat the end of 2017 [P-5] and led to the first evidence of the ttH process in ATLAS[P-1], combining all the ttH analyses (studying different decay channels). The ttH(bb)analysis has also been included in the work to achieve the first ATLAS observation ofthe process [P-2], obtained with an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb−1,, for the ttH(bb)and ttH multi lepton analyses, and 79.8 fb−1,, for the ttH(γγ) and ttH(4l) analyses.A significance of 5.8 σ has been observed for the ttH production (expected 4.9 σ) and,combining this result with the one achieved during the Run-1 (4.5 fb−1, at 7 TeV.and 20.3 fb−1, at 8 TeV), the observed (expected) significance increases to 6.3 σ (5.1σ). The measured ttH cross section is σttH = 670 ± 90(stat.)+110

−100(syst.) fb, which iscompatible with the one predicted by the SM σttH(SM) = 507+35

−50 fb. The work done forthe ttH(bb) analysis has been used for the observation of another important processof the SM: the decay of the Higgs boson in a pair of bottom quarks in the associatedproduction of the Higgs boson with a vector boson (W or Z), V H(bb). In fact, theresult obtained in this decay channel has been combined with other production modesthat include the same decay (VBF and ttH). An excess over the expected backgroundis observed, with a significance of 5.4 standard deviations compared to an expectationfrom Standard Model of 5.5, providing an observation of the H(bb) decay mode.Besides this activity, Silvia has started working for the development of a flexible Triggerand Data Acquisition (TDAQ) system able to be interfaced with different detectors, forthe FOOT experiment [II]. As a first step, she has to develop the high speed commu-nication protocol that is used to transfer data from an electronic board hosting a CPUin an FPGA to a remote PC. The software running on the electronic board needs tobe designed with high reliability and high performance. The event building procedure,running on the PC, needs to include a time-stamping information in order to correctlyassociate the event fragments from one or more remote detectors.Silvia Biondi has also started to develop a customisable TDAQ software needed tomonitor the performance and the correct operation of the whole detector system. Thissoftware also needs to contain an online and offline fast data quality system able to con-trol the acquired events. In order to do that, the system under study is required to havea higher rate capability than most of (and ideally all) the detector technologies employ-ed in the system, and to record both detector data (RAW data files) and configurationdata (DataBase MYSQL) in order to be used in a second (offline) reconstruction step.The goal of this project is to develop a complete and detector-independent trigger andacquisition system, ready to be used and tested by a real experiment.During her second post-doc contract, Silvia started working actively in the SUSY group,which studies the possibility of a Beyond Standard Model (BSM) physics. This is oneof the main topics in the ATLAS physics program as a test for the SM predictions,looking for possible supersymmetric partners (like gluinos, super-partners of gluons) ofparticles well known by the physicists community. She focused on the search for gluinosand electroweakinos in WW and WZ decays with an isolated lepton, jets and missing

7

transverse momentum in the final state at√s = 13 TeV.

Publications Silvia Biondi is author or co-author of 324 publications in referred journals and severalATLAS internal notes.

She has presented her work at 19 international and national conferences and at schools;the contributions at 5 international conferences are available in the form of proceedings.

Teaching activity

During her master degree, Silvia Biondi has worked as assistant to the optics laboratoryat University “Sapienza” (Rome for a whole semester, Prof. Mataloni. This role requiredto prepare and set the laboratory experience and the tools for the students and to assistthe professor during the experiences and exercises.

During her PhD, she has participated to the Masterclasses as an assistant for high-shoolstudents, at the University of Bologna, in 2014.

During the 2017, she has worked as assistant to the FISICA GENERALE T-2 course(electromagnetism) for the Automation and Electricity Engineering Bachelor coursesat the University of Bologna, second semester (2016/2017), Prof Vannini.

During the 2017, she has worked as assistant to the FISICA GENERALE T-2 course(electromagnetism and waves) for the Electronic Engineering Bachelor courses at theUniversity of Bologna, first semester (2017/2018), Prof. Villa.

During the 2018, she is working as assistant to the FISICA GENERALE T-2 course(electromagnetism and waves) for the Electronic Engineering Bachelor courses at theUniversity of Bologna, first semester (2018/2019), Prof. Villa.

In 2019 and 2020, she is the lecturer for the Masterclasses at the University of Bologna,teaching about particles detection at LHC and being the tutor for the exercise.

In the AY 2019/2020, she is the lecturer for the PhD students, teaching about theHiggs boson physics and analysis techniques used at LHC.

Grants She won twice a national scholarship (“Marco Polo”), for a total amount of 6 months,that allowed her to experience the very stimulant and collaborative environment ofCERN. During her permanence, she has concluded her HTop Data Preparation roleand continued to work and collaborate with the HTop group for the boosted ttHanalysis.

She won the CERN associate fellowship, that is of fundamental importance to continuethe ongoing analysis. Silvia is one of the developers of the common analysis frameworkand she has started studies that are fundamental for the development of the boostedttH analysis. The possibility to be based at CERN really improved and speeded up theinteractions, as Silvia Biondi personally experienced during her permanence there, du-ring the 2015. The permanence was extremely productive since Silvia has collaboratedclosely with the ttH resolved analysis, being the coordinator for the ntuple producti-on of the boosted group. Having a central data production between the boosted andresolved groups is fundamental for the main aim to combine the two analysis for thefinal results. The permanence was also stimulant and extremely productive in orderto prepare the boosted ttH(bb) analysis for the 2017 publication together with theresolved ttH(bb) analysis.

She won the National Prize “Marcello Conversi” for one of the two best PhD theses in
