2006 – 2014 Sviluppo di un nuovo concetto di calorimetro adronico: DREAMQuesta attivita nasce con una collaborazione tra gruppi italiani e il Prof.Richard Wigmans (Texas Tech. University, Lubbock, USA) per sviluppareun nuovo concetto di calorimetro adronico ad alta risoluzione energetica chesfrutta il principio della doppia lettura per ottenere la misura della frazioneelettromagnetica evento per evento. L’attivita viene portata avanti in Italiacon i finanziamenti INFN di CSN5 denominati DRC e NEWDREAM, e vienesuccessivamente approvata dal CERN come una suo R&D ufficiale sottol asigla RD52. La mia partecipazione a questa attivita comincia dal suo inizio,con la realizzazione del software di acquisizione dati per i numerosi test beamche la collaborazione portera avanti, e facendomo diventare uno degli espertidell’online che si occupa di hardware e della acquisizione dati. Sono l’ideatoredel metodo che utilizza filtri colorati e la differenza della risposta temporale perpermettere una efficiente separazione tra la luce di scintillazione e Cherenkovprodotta nei cristalli [448, 324, 320], dimostrando in vari test-beam le poten-zialita di questa tecnica usando inizialmente BGO [322] e successivamente al-tri tipi di cristalli [301, 318].
