The LNF Scientific Committee held last November has discussed the schedule for DAFNE operation in years 2017-2019.

The KLOE-2 collaboration, analysing the data collected at the DAFNE Collider, has measured the running of the electromagnetic coupling constant (alpha) as a function of the energy. 

Gihan Kamel, the only woman in the scientific staff of SESAME, studied in Italy before getting to the particle accelerator that is going to start running in a few weeks in Jordan.

The Beam Test Facility, extracting electron and positron beam pulses from DAFNE’s LINAC, has been operational in 2016 providing 240 beam-days, and it will stop for the winter shut-down on Dec. 19th.

The National Laboratory of Frascati’s yearly program, Educational, will start again in January 2017, featuring a wide range of activities designed for Students, Teachers and General Public.

On December 19, 2016, 09:30 am, at Mathematics and Physics Department, University of Roma Tre, four Lectures on Particle Physics Phenomenology dedicated to the memory of Guido Altarelli.

Prof. Rodolfo Bonifacio died, aged 76, few days ago in Rome. Since many years he was Associated Emeritus to the National Laboratory of Frascati. He leaves us a legacy of strong passion for physics and for scientific challenges.

The “High Energy Particle Detector” (HEPD) was calibrated at the Beam Test Facility (BTF), at the National Laboratory of Frascati. HEPD is part of a number of innovative detectors that will be installed on the Chinese satellite CSES (China Seismo Electromagnetic Satellite), for the Italian-Chinese project CSES-LIMADOU.

Sergio Ferrara was awarded the prestigious medal “Ettore Majorana” by the EMFCSC at Erice, together with Daniel Freedman and Peter van Nieuwenhuizen, 40 years after the formulation of supergravity.
