I am working on the performances and operation of the CMS all-silicon tracker, as convener of the tracker detector performances group (DPG) of CMS. I am especially involved in aspects like synchronization and calibration of the MIP response, taking into account non-linear effects in the silicon and time-of-flight effects. In parallel, I work on the measurement of the Zb(b) cross-section and kinematical properties at LHC. The goal is to measure the process with early data to pave to road to searches for new physics with similar signatures.

First one direction concluding in responsibility for design and development of DataBase. Second direction is devoted to preparation for analysis of the K+->pi+gg process. Currently we working on resolving of crucial challenges of that analysis. One of them is development of next generation of analysis techniques for LKr calorimeter of setup, fusion clusters separation in particularity.
