Michele De Gruttola

Profile:

  • I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at U of Florida and a junior fellow at the LHC Physics Center at Fermilab.
  • My primary research interests is the search of the Higgs boson. I expecially look for a light Standard Model Higgs boson.
  • I recently performed the first Z-->mu mu cross section measurement at CMS (Published in : J. High Energy Phys. 01 (2011) 080).
  • I am currently pursuing a search in the VH channel, with a Higgs decaying in two b-jets accompanied by a Z or W. I'm also working on the trigger development to ensure CMS can select these events with the increasing instantaneous luminosity.
