About the speaker: 
Wilfrid DA SILVA 
1990 - 1993: Third cycle thesis in Particle Physics (Paris 6): First evidence of the Lambda b and its lifetime measurement with DELPHI at LEP. 
1994 - 2003: DELPHI experiment at the CERN LEP collider. Study of photon-photon interactions: study of the total cross-section, of the b quark production, the F2(x, Q2) structure function and jet production in collisions at low Q2. 
2000 - 2014: Participation to the study of of an international linear collider (ILC): beam tests to characterize long microstrip detectors and simulation of a silicon detector in the SiLC (Silicon tracking for Linear Collider) framework. 
2000 - 2014: Participation to the study of a Photon Linear Collider (PLC): study of the luminosity measurement with the simulation of 4 lepton production in the final state. 
2008 - 2010: Participation to theLHCb experiment at CERN : study of diffractive physics and luminosity measurement. 
2011 - 2014: Participation to the g-2/EDM experiment at J-PARC in Japan: study of the definition and the resolution of a silicon detector for a precise measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon and the search of its electric dipolar moment. 
2013 - 2018: Participation to the COMET experiment at J-PARC in Japan: search for charged lepton flavor violation with muon to electron conversion. Study of a possible silicon pixel muon stopping target.
