Incontri di Fisica 2016

Registration is now open to the refresher course in Modern Physics for high school teachers and scientific journalists from all over Italy, organized by the National Laboratory of Frascati. This year the course gets a full makeover, starting from a new educational offer. Thise who are interested shall choose among two different paths, based on different level of analysis: – IDF 2.0 (e-learning formula + attendance) – IDF with attendance at the LNF.

LHC starts the new data taking: a new adventure begins

Protons have started colliding again in the super-accelerator LHC at CERN in Geneva. A new phase of data taking will allow physicists to continue the exploration of the Universe, of the bricks of the matter and of the fundamental laws. LHC has already shown its big potentialities bringing science to the frontier of knowledge. The measurements foreseen will bring us to a deeper understanding of physics.

Quartz bars as particle detectors

“Seeing” a high energy particle requires special detectors exploiting peculiar phenomena of interaction of particles with the matter. The Cherenkov effect is one of such phenomena: when a high energy particle crosses a material (a “radiator”) flashes of blue (or even ultra-violet) light are emitted. Such emission happens whenever the particle crosses the radiator with a speed larger than the light speed in that same material, an analog of the supersonic “boom” of the aircraft when they moves faster that the speed of sound.

Test of the performances of Alice’s chip at BTF

It’s now come to an end the BTF (Beam Test Facility) measurements campaign for the characterization of one of the most innovative silicon pixel chips that will be used by the ALICE experiment for the new tracker detector. The building of a new ITS (Inner Tracking System) entirely based on silicon pixel detectors, made up of 7 concentric layers, for a total active surface of about 10 m2 of segmented silicon and more than 12.5 billion pixels, greatly involves the INFN, especially the ALICE group at LNF, which will be one of the five laboratories in the whole world to engage in this particular construction.
