Since the beginning of my PhD, I have been working on the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider, writing the last steps of the muon reconstruction software. I have also been responsible for producing the common data and Monte Carlo samples for the different D0 physics group. For half a year, I have also been a member of the ATLAS collaboration.
At D0, I first worked on searching for supersymmetric particles and then moved to studying the top quark, and in particular, measuring its production cross section and mass. For the last three years, I have been head of the top quark physics group at D0. Top quark physics has been extremely successful at the Tevatron over the 10 years and first top quark results are now coming out of the LHC very quickly.
During my lectures, I will propose to explain all the different steps and tools needed to perform an actual data measurement. We will take the measurement of the top pair production cross section as an example.
