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!

During its meeting on May 31st, the Board of Directors of INFN appointed Paola Gianotti as the Director of the LNF, a position that she will assume starting from August 1st, 2024.

The EuPRAXIA ESFRI Collaboration Board and the EuPRAXIA-PP Collaboration Board have approved the appointment of Dr Pierluigi Campana as new coordinator of the EuPRAXIA ESFRI and PP projects.

The LNF Summer Student Program provides 5 two-month fellowships for scientific and technological training activities for university students or recent graduates to be carried out at the Frascati National Laboratory of INFN, focusing on the following activity:

2024 is bringing big news to the SPARC_LAB research facility at LNF.

Within the scope of EU project EURIZON, the LNF Detector Development Group and INFN-Fe have successfully completed the construction of a novel detector: a pioneering low-mass modular Inner Tracker developed for low-momentum electron-positron colliders, exploiting the innovative Cylindrical µ-RWELL (C-RWELL) technology.
