Two Italian researchers have been awarded the ATLAS Thesis Award 2022, an award that recognizes the best doctoral theses produced in the past year by doctoral students from institutes around the world collaborating on the ATLAS experiment at CERN, one of the four large experiments at the LHC accelerator, which together with the CMS experiment was the protagonist in the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012. The two winners are Giuseppe Carratta and Guglielmo Frattari, researchers at INFN, who completed their PhDs from at the University of Bologna and at the Sapienza University of Rome, respectively.
