Scientific work.

The field of research of A. Palano is experimental high energy physics and in particular, hadron spectroscopy, performed in different experiments at CERN (Geneva) and SLAC (Stanford).

The competences of A. Palano are focused on design and simulation of experiments, partecipation to data taking, software offline reconstruction and in particular: data analysis. He has discovered several new particles and developed sophisticated Dalitz and Partial Wave Analyses.

Publications

A. Palano is co-author of many publications on the major Scientific Journals: 58 from CERN experiments (1977-1998), then all publications from BaBar experiment at SLAC, and LHCb experiment at CERN.
