Tomei
Ricercatrice presso INFN - Sezione di Roma
Il mio campo di ricerca è la fisica delle particelle sperimentale, in particolare la ricerca di eventi rari come il decadimento doppio beta senza neutrini e le interazioni di particelle di materia oscura, tramite esperimenti in laboratori sotterranei quali i Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso.
La didattica a distanza sarà svolta tramite videoconferenze con Google Meet, i link alle lezioni saranno pubblicati sulla pagina Moodle del corso.
Sulla pagina Moodle saranno disponibili anche le presentazioni e diversi link per approfondire gli argomenti delle lezioni.
Le lezioni vengono registrate e sono disponibili su Google Drive, mandatemi una richiesta per la condivisione delle stesse.
Per domande, curiosità e suggerimenti sono disponibile via email (claudia.tomei@uniroma1.it), anche per concordare ricevimenti virtuali, sempre tramite Google Meet, o in presenza.

Current Research Activity
SABRE Experiment
Goal: Search for Dark Matter with twin arrays of NaI(Tl) detectors in underground laboratories in the North (LNGS, Italy) and South hemispheres (Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory, Australia).
Responsibilities: INFN Rome Group Leader (2016-2020), Member of the Institutional Board (2016-today).
Objectives achieved: Design and installation of the Crystal Insertion System (CIS) for the SABRE Proof of Principle (SABRE prototype at LNGS), full Monte Carlo simulation of the expected background and sensitivity study for the SABRE Proof of Principle.
CUORE Experiment
Goal: Search for neutrinoless Double Beta decay of 130Te with an array of 988 TeO2 cryogenic bolometers at LNGS.
Responsibilities: Member of the Executive Board (2018-today), INFN Rome Group Leader (2017-today), Member of the Physics Board (2014-2017), Member of the Data Vetting Board (2012 - 2014).
Objectives achieved: Development of the analysis software that improves the efficiency of coincidences among the 988 CUORE crystals. As member of the Physics Board, coordinator of the analysis that led to the best limit on the neutrinoless double beta decay half life of 130Te with CUORE-0 (CUORE prototype) and to the best limit on the neutrinoless double beta decay half life of 130Te with CUORE, the first physics result of the CUORE experiment.
