The EuPRAXIA consortium has selected the ELI Beamlines facility in Dolní Břežany, Czech Republic, as the site for implementing the laser-driven acceleration pillar of the project.

An important contribution to new developments in infrared optics has come from the Frascati National Laboratory (LNF) of the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN), where the experimental characterization of an innovative metamaterial was conducted at the Dafne-Luce facility.

On November 15th, members of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences of the Physics Class visited the Frascati National Laboratory, where they were welcomed by the Director, Paola Gianotti, and the President, Antonio Zoccoli.

A significant milestone in the search for dark matter has been achieved at the INFN Frascati. National Laboratory.

Over 40 years ago, the measurement of X-ray transitions to the fundamental level in kaonic deuterium—an exotic atom where an electron is replaced by a negatively charged kaon (a particle composed of a "strange" quark and an "up" anti-quark)—was identified as a crucial experiment in kaon physics at the low-energy frontier.

The 114th plenary meeting of the European Committee for Accelerators of the Future (ECFA) took place on 4-5 July at INFN Frascati National Laboratories. The event gathered over 60 representatives of the Committee, consisting of 29 member states and CERN, including Fabiola Gianotti, the Director General of the great European research centre.

An unknown version of the painting “Lo Spasimo di Palermo” by Raffaello Sanzio was hosted at the DAΦNE-Light laboratory of the National Laboratories of Frascati of INFN to carry out a diagnostic campaign aimed to reveal the mysteries held by the artwork.

From June 17 to 19, 2024, the National Laboratory of Frascati (INFN) hosted an important workshop dedicated to the present and future of hadron physics in Europe.

In a recently published paper in Physical Review Letters, the SPARC_LAB group presented a novel method for deflecting and guiding relativistic electron beams along curved paths using magnetic fields generated within plasma-discharge capillaries.

Great milestone achieved for the TEX facility: the high-power test of the EuPRAXIA@SPARC_LAB prototype has been successfully completed!
