Curriculum Vitae - Grazia Luparello 2Research activity:HardwareSoftwareDetector Control System(DCS)I participated in the commissioning on surface of the ZeroDegree Calorimeters. I participated in the characterization ofthe photomultipliers studying their absolute gain and their responseas a function of the high voltage applied.After the installation of the ZDCs in the LHC tunnel I participatedin the final commissioning phase of the detector withcosmic rays and laser (data-taking in the framework of theALICE DAQ system) and in the tests to evaluate the linearityof the full electronic chain.I am imvolved in the analysis of the performance of the ZDCsin proton - proton collisions in the framework of the ALICEanalysis tool AliROOT. Particularly, I am studying the possibilityof using the ZDCs to identify diffractive events in p - pcollisions. For this purpose I am using both local simulationswith different generators and official Monte Carlo productionson CAF.I am developing the code for the offline analysis of the ZDC datawhich will be inserted in the official ALICE analysis train.I am responsible of the Detector Control System of the ZDCs.I am involved in the development and maintenance of the DCSfor the ALICE ZDCs and for this purpose a continuous interfacewith central DCS team is needed.Teaching:2008 − 2009 Tutor of the Precorso di Analisi Matematica e Geometria (precourseof mathematical analysis and geometry) of the Physicscurricula c/o Facoltà di Scienze matematiche, Fisiche e Naturalidell’Università degli Studi di Torino.2004 − 2007 Part-time undergraduate assistant c/o Facoltà di ScienzeMatematiche, Fisiche e Naturali dell’Università degli Studi diTorino, in the courses named Laboratorio 1 and Laboratorio 2(mechanics and thermodynamics experiments).Other activities:16.03.08 − 17.04.09 Tutor c/o Facoltà di Scienze Matematiche, Fisiche e Naturalidell’Università degli Studi di Torino for Scienze dal Vivo (cycleof seminaries on classical physics and particle physics for highschool students).07.01.09 − 13.01.09 Assistant c/o Facoltà di Scienze Matematiche, Fisiche e Naturalidell’Università degli Studi di Torino for Tre mattineall’Università (lessons and experiments of classical physics forhigh school students).
