Riccardo Nunzio Pilato
I was born in Naples on January 1995 and grown up in Ischia, the largest island of the Gulf of Naples. Here I got my Scientific High School Diploma, then I moved to Pisa to study Physics. I obtained my Bachelor Degree in 2016 and my Master Degree in 2019, focusing my studies on High Energy Physics. During my Master Thesis, supervised by Dr. Graziano Venanzoni, I had the opportunity to work on the feasibility of the MUonE experiment. It aims to determine the hadronic contribution to the muon g-2 using an innovative approach, based on the measurement of the hadronic contribution to the running of the electromagnetic coupling constant via mu-e elastic scattering. My Thesis work was based on the analysis of two sources of systematic effects: the multiple scattering and a constant, correlated systematic error. In the PhD, I will continue my activity in the MUonE Collaboration. Besides physics I like sports, especially basketball, and cooking.
