Biographie

Luca Scotto Lavina is a CNRS Director of Research leading the Xenon group in the LPNHE Laboratory, Paris. He currently works on XENONnT, the latest generation of the XENON Project, one of the most successful projects aiming to detect Dark Matter directly in our galaxy with terrestrial, underground detectors based on dual-phase xenon TPC technology. He is leading the computing efforts of the Project and is also in charge of the two xenon storage and recovery systems. He works actively on DARWIN, an R&D program aiming to develop the best technologies for future dark matter detectors. In particular, he led the Work Package on Liquid Xenon Target and is currently leading the computing Work Package. In the context of DARWIN, he is the science coordinator of the XeLab Project, a small-scale TPC installed at LPNHE meant to demonstrate a new concept of electrodes. He is also a founding member of the XLZD Collaboration, which brings together XENON, LZ, and DARWIN scientists to work on the construction of the next generation experiment. Before joining the XENON Program, he worked on neutrino oscillation experiments, such as CHORUS (PhD thesis) and OPERA, as well as in studies for possible future neutrino facilities in Europe. Finally, he also worked on the initial phase of the ArDM experiment (direct dark matter search with liquid argon), and he is a member of the X-Art Project, which aims to study the properties of the argon-xenon mixture.
