CMS at Fermilab

Biography

Giorgio Apollinari is the Project Director of the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider Accelerator Upgrade Project (HL-LHC AUP), the U.S. in-kind contribution to the LHC upgrade to support research by the worldwide energy frontier scientific community during the next decades. He manages all aspects of HL-LHC AUP and coordinates contributions from all participating U.S. institutions, including Fermilab, Brookhaven National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, to enable the first use in accelerators of U.S.-developed technologies, such as niobium-tin magnets and SRF crab cavities. His research career has focused on the experimental and accelerator technology aspects of high-energy physics, with contributions and participations to experiments (CDF, ALEPH, CMS) and accelerators (LARP and early contributions to what is now PIP-II). Apollinari served in several technical and management roles in the laboratory, including head of the Technical Division during the expansion of Fermilab activities in the SRF arena, and has been nominated fellow of the American Physical Society. He holds a physics diploma from Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa and a Laurea in Fisica from Pisa University.
