Technological research lab

The COLD laboratory (CryOgenic Laboratory for Detectors) is the LNF cryogenic facility.

The Detector Development Group (DDG LAB Frascati INFN) has been involved since 1985 in the R&D, design and construction of gaseous detectors.

In the LAMPS laboratory, research is being conducted on superconductors, magnetic materials and related systems using magnetic and electric transport tools with cryogenic equipments able to study the dynamic behaviour of these materials under conditions of extreme temperature and magnetic field in order to understand fundamental properties such as electrical conductivity and magnetic susceptibility.

LEMRAP (Laboratory for Environmental and Medical RAdiation Physics) is active in the design, simulation, functionalization and testing of detectors for ionizing radiation in the nuclear, environmental, medical, industrial and research fields. It operates through projects funded by INFN or technology transfer actions.

‘Nanoscience EXperiments for Technologies’ is the nanoscience laboratory at LNF. Since 2000, with their works, researchers at the NEXT Group have gained a strong and recognized expertise in the synthesis and engineering of nanostructured carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene nanoplatelets and realization of “twisted sheets of nanotubes” called buckypapers.

The aim of the “Singularity” project is to investigate the feasibility of a complete automation of an accelerator facility through the combined development of artificial intelligence (AI) software applications and a safety hardware able to control and monitor accelerator’s devices.

The EXIN (external injection) project born from the challenge to combine conventional accelerators with plasma accelerators.

TUAREG is a three-years experiment proposal (2020-2022) aiming at the design, construction and high power tests of a C-band (fRF=5.712 GHz) RF electron gun to be operated at very high cathode peak field (>200 MV/m).

It is a research and industrial laboratory dedicated to the design, construction, characterization and space qualification of laser retroreflectors deployed on artificial satellites and celestial bodies for their accurate positioning by means of the laser ranging technique, i. e. the accurate measurement of the time-of-flight of short laser pulses.

The XLab Frascati (XlabF, Prof. S. Dabagov’s Lab) is specialized in theoretical and experimental research on interaction of various charged particles beams and electromagnetic radiation of a different frequency range between themselves and with the substance, also offering the possibility of conducting experiments with controlled analytical techniques on the use of X-rays (Tomography, Diffractometry and Fluorescence).

The ARYA project aims to tackle most of the specific problems connected with the use of any material in an accelerator environment in terms of static and dynamic vacuum, impedance, electron and photon desorption yields, stability and all eventual detrimental effects induced by the possible onset of collective effects.
