Professor Daniela Bortoletto

HIGH ENERGY FRONTIER

• ATLAS (2014-present). Bortoletto’s group made significant contributions to the discovery of H→bb and the EFT interpretation of the result. Search for additional Higgs-like bosons decaying to H→ZZ→2l2ν and studies of the Higgs width. Contributions to improvements in the missing energy and the calibration of high momentum b tagging.
• CMS (2008-2014) Search, discovery, and study of the Higgs Boson at CMS in H->ZZ ->4l. Bortoletto’s group contributed to increasing the efficiency for low momentum electrons for the Higgs discovery in 2012. Studies of the Higgs width using off-shell production of H→ZZ→2l2ν. Searches for additional Higgs-like bosons decaying to H→ZZ→2l2ν. Searches for invisible Higgs decays in ZH ->2l+ missing transverse energy.
• CDF (1992-present) Searches for the Higgs, single top and Super Symmetric particles in final states with missing transverse energy and b-quarks. Coordinator of the missing energy and heavy quarks subgroup of the CDF Higgs discovery group from 2008 to 2012. The results of Bortoletto’s group on ZH→νν ̅bb ̅ contributed to the first evidence for Higgs boson decaying to H→bb ̅ from the TEVATRON and the first measurement of single top production. Searches for dark matter in events with single top and missing transverse energy. Searches for chargino-neutralino associated production in final states with 3 leptons and missing energy. Measurement of the top quark decaying into dileptons for the discovery of the top quark in 1995. Searches for new particles decaying into b-tagged di-jets. Measurements of B meson differential cross-section.
• CLEO (1982-1989) Semileptonic B decayse and the measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element Vcb .

INSTRUMENTATION

• ATLAS (2014-present) Bortoletto established with Shipsey the Oxford Particle Physics Microstructure Detector (OPMD) Laboratory, which is one of the UK centers for the assembly of the pixel detector modules for the HL-LHC.
• Mu3e(2017-present) Development of novel ultra-low mass CMOS HVMAPs pixel tracker silicon sensor ladders to search for 𝜇→3e charged lepton flavor violating decays.
• CMS (1996-2014) Construction of the CMS FPiX silicon pixel detector. Bortoletto was the level 3 manager for the design and testing of the sensors, the testing of readout chip (ROC), and the integration of the ROC to the sensors with bump bonding. Bortoletto’s group played also a critical role in the commissioning and operation of FPiX.
• CDF (1992-2006) Construction of the CDF SVX silicon strip detector and development of the sensors, including the fabrication of six-inch sensors. Bortoletto’s group contributed significantly to the operation of SVXII.
• R&D on radiation hard depleted CMOS detectors 3D and planar sensors for the High luminosity LHC (HL-LHC)
• Establishment of the Purdue Particle Physics Microstructure Development (P3MD) facility at Purdue University, which contains two fully equipped clean rooms for the design, testing and assembly of detectors for High Energy Physics.
