Welcome to my project page. I am postdoctoral fellow in astroparticle physics at Perugia University and INFN. My research deals with experimental techniques and theoretical issues in cosmic ray physics within the framework of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) project. Cosmic rays are sub-nuclear particles coming from outer space on the Earth's atmosphere with a broad range of energy that extends up to extremely high values. Their origin, their mechanisms of acceleration, their transport in the Galaxy and their composition are not yet well known, so they are object of extensive research. AMS is a state-of-the-art particle physics detector operating as an external module on the International Space Station. It uses the unique environment of space to study the Universe and its origin by searching for antimatter and dark matter while performing precision measurements of cosmic ray composition and flux. My current activity involves the physics of cosmic-ray nuclei and isotopes from below 1 GeV to above many TeV of energy. I study their processes of diffusive shock acceleration in supernova blast waves, their diffusive transport in the turbulent magnetic fields, their nuclear collisions with the nuclei of the interstellar matter and their experimental detection with AMS.
