Hydrodynamical Simulations of Galaxy Clusters
Based on the TreePM-SPH GADGET-3 code. These simulations, which include the effect of feedback in energy and metals from SuperNovae and AGN, are carried out with a twofold aim: (a) to study the effect that different feedback sources have on the observational properties of the intra-cluster medium as observed in the X-ray band and through the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect; (b) to quantify the accuracy and possible systematics in the mass measurement of galaxy clusters at different wavelength, in order to calibrate them as precision tools to constrain cosmological models.

Fast Simulations of catalogues of Dark Matter Haloes
The PINOCCHIO (PINpointing Orbit Crossing-Collapsed HIerarchical Objects) code has been recently developed to generate in a very fast way catalogs of dark matter halos that match those generated with a standard N-body simulation in mass, position, velocity and merger history. PINOCCHIO is presently used, within the EUCLID collaboration, to generate simulated (mock) catalogs for the computation of covariance matrices of 2-point statistics.
