PhD awarded to Dr. Chiara Capelli

Congratulations, Dr. Chiara Capelli.

Congratulations to Dr. Chiara Capelli who successfully defended her Ph.D. thesis at the beginning of December! During her thesis work, she performed a first search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of 136-Xe with XENON1T data. In particular, she worked on the signal reconstruction in the MeV energy range and achieved the best energy resolution to date in a two-phase xenon time projection chamber, namely 0.8% at 2.458 keV, the Q-value of the 136-Xe decay. This work was published and featured in EPJ-C 80 (2020) 8, 758. For XENONnT, she was responsible for the design, construction and installation of the light calibration system of the VUV-sensitive photosensors, currently used for calibrating the PMTs in the liquid xenon phase. Chiara Capelli also participated in the installation and initial commissioning of the XENONnT TPC: she remained at LNGS (together with another PhD student in our group, Giovanni Volta) during the start of the new pandemic and completed the installation of the TPC underground.
