The XIX LNF Spring School “Bruno Touschek” in Nuclear, Subnuclear and Astroparticle Physics will take place at LNF on May 7th-11th, 2018.

On next 30th of March the KLOE-2 experiment will conclude its data-taking at DAΦNE, the Φ-factory collider, after almost twenty years of operation.

The Frascati National Laboratories offer to 5 undergraduate or graduate students the opportunity to carry out research in an experimental group during the summer. The fellowships concern scientific, technical-applicative and administrative fields. The detailed program and the rules for participation are available at the following link:

From the 12th to the 16th of March 2018, the LNF will host the 14th edition of IPPOG – International Particle Physics Masterclass, addressed to students in their last year of high school.

INFN Frascati National Laboratories (LNF), in collaboration with the National Academy of Science of Kiev and the Lviv Polytechnic in Ukraine and with the Fraunhofer Institute of Potsdam-Golm in Germany, proposed developing effective photonic crystal (PC) structures, made by a distribution of nanoparticles (NP) in polymer matrix for PC powered sensor applications and fluorescent and Raman spectroscopy.

On the 2nd of February at 8:51 am local time, from the Chinese base of “Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center” (Gobi desert, Inner Mongolia), it was launched the satellite carrying the “HEPD” (High Energic Particle Detector) particle detector built by the Italian researchers of the “LIMADOU Collaboration”, named after Matteo Ricci (missionary and explorer in China in the 16th century).

On the 8th of February at 3 pm, in the Sala Aldo Moro of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and of International Cooperation, it was held the award ceremony of “Beamline for Schools – BL4S 2017”, in the frame of a special event devoted to Italian excellence in Physics.

It was installed in Jlab laboratory, Virginia (USA) the first module of a detector, named RICH (Ring Imaging Cherenkov, that uses the highly directional light emission produced by the passage through transparent materials (radiators) of particles which – through that medium – propagate with a phase velocity higher than the one of light (Cherenkov effect). Here it started to operate on the electron accelerator with the highest energy, polarization and efficiency of the world.

It was held today at National Laboratory of Frascati an event addressed to students in their 4th or 5th year of high school, devoted to the theme of women in science, waiting for the International Day of Women and Girls in Science of the next 11th of February.

LINACS (linear accelerators) are metallic structures powered by radio-frequency systems that allow to accelerate particle beams. They can be used in several fields of both research and industry such as injectors for light sources or colliders, free electron lasers-FELs, particle sources for experiments on fixed target, X-ray sources for radiotherapy or medical diagnostics, national security systems and material treatments.
