Bio
Marta Felcini is a high energy physicist, currently working on experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, seeking to detect new fundamental particles and interactions. She is interested to search for new, yet undiscovered, physics laws that could address cosmic questions, such as what is the nature of dark matter and the unknown origin of cosmic energies, driving the evolution of the observable universe, at the most fundamental level. The study of elementary particles and their interactions, with high energy collider experiments, together with other experimental, observational and theoretical investigations, allows to advance in the understanding of matter and energy, and what the universe is made of, at the most fundamental level currently accessible.
Marta Felcini has worked in the past with the Large Electron Positron (LEP) collider, predecessor of the LHC, searching for Higgs bosons, as well as for new particles, which could form the dark matter in the universe. Marta has also worked with lower energy experiments, including neutrino detectors, and an experiment studying the decay of an electron positron bound state (ortho-positronium) to detect possible production of very light dark matter particles. This is still a very active field of research, on several fronts, including searches for dark matter particles at the LHC, which Marta, with many other colleagues, continue to pursue.
Marta Felcini earned a PhD in physics from Boston University, in 1991, pioneering a search, in proton-antiproton collisions, for a charged Higgs boson (a Higgs boson with an electric charge), predicted by new physics models, beyond the Standard Model (SM) of elementary particle physics. About 30 years later, the LHC experiments, ATLAS and CMS, have discovered a Higgs boson, with null electric charge, and whose measured properties are so far consistent with those expected by the SM. The charged Higgs, and other additional Higgs bosons, are still searched for at the LHC.
Previous to the PhD, Marta Felcini earned a laurea in physics, at the Università La Sapienza, in Rome, with a thesis in nuclear fusion research, building a detector for the measurement of the ion temperature of the plasma confined in the Frascati Tokamak.
Marta Felcini has held research and teaching positions with CERN, ETH-Zurich, UCLA, Instituto de Física de Cantabria, and with University College Dublin, where she is adjunct professor of physics in the UCD School of Physics and collaborates on ongoing research with the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC.
