The first year of operations of the project “eRAD – Tests of radiation resistance of aerospace components“ has ended. The eRAD project has been presented by INFN-LNF, IMT srl and ASI in the framework of “Strategic Porjects”, public notice by Lazio Region and will receive a grant of 857.597€.

The LNF team together with the colleagues of INFN – Pisa Unit of the Mu2e collaboration, have recently successfully carried out the full test on the final readout electronics of the calorimeter, marking an important milestone for the realization of the experiment.

An important milestone for the ATLAS upgrade project has been achieved: it has been completed the first wheel of the forward muon spectrometer required to cope the increase in luminosity foreseen in the upcoming phases of the LHC data taking.

The Library and Scientific Documentation Service of the LNF, in August 2020, applied to the call Sostegno all’editoria libraria of the Italian Ministry of Culture (MIBAC), aimed at providing support to small bookstores and to the entire publishing chain, providing a financial contribution to libraries for the purchase of books.

LNF Summer Students 2021 is an opportunity dedicated to undergraduate or graduate students to carry out research activity in an experimental group of Frascati National Laboratory. 

The new Internal Tracking System (ITS) of the ALICE experiment, based on ultra-thin silicon-sensors (50-100 micron), is at CERN since several months for tests and commissioning.

Today, at an important (virtual) conference held in Moriond, Fr, and at the CERN seminar, the LHCb collaboration presented two new results using the full LHCb Run 1 and Run 2 data set.

Within the collaboration between LNF and CERN, a new electron source for the CLEAR project has been designed and realized.

The LNF scientific community is discussing the perspectives in fundamental physics research in Frascati. In the long-term LNF research program, the protagonist will be EUPRAXIA, project dedicated to the development of a new generation of accelerators based on cutting edge technologies like plasma acceleration.

During the days 12-13-14 January 2021, the first edition of the meeting INTERLAB 2021 has gathered together more than 100 scientists engineers and technicians from Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste, INFN Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, ENEA C. R. Frascati, CNR, and from several other Universities and research institutes, with the aim of exploring the possible synergies in the development of accelerators dedicated to light sources and to other applications.
