Ripartono gli appuntamenti con la scienza ai Laboratori INFN di Frascati con un ricco programma di Seminari ed Eventi divulgativi rivolti a studenti, docenti e appassionati di ogni età.

With a 2 million EUR funding for a duration of 5 years the European Research Council (ERC) has awarded the ENUBET project (Enhanced NeUtrino Beams from kaon Tagging). The Principal Investigator is Andrea Longhin, a researcher working at the Frascati INFN National Laboratories. Longhin is among the 302 researchers awarded at an international level this year (with 585 MEUR in total) with the so-called “Consolidator Grants” of the ERC(*). This funding is meant, on a competitive basis, to offer researchers an extraordinary opportunity to make innovative and excellent research programs come to life.

Rome, 11-15 April 2016 The Future Circular Collider Study (FCC) explores different designs of circular colliders for the post-LHC era. Reaching higher energies and unprecedented luminosities would allow us to explore the fundamental laws of nature and probe yet unexplained observations.

Six third year students of the BSc programme in physics at the University of Insubria (Varese-Como) spent five days at the Beam Test Facility (BTF) of the Frascati National Laboratories to study the behaviour of a calorimeter.

Di che cosa parliamo quando parliamo di onde gravitazionali: il racconto di una scoperta. 18 febbraio 2016 ore 21 Auditorium Parco della Musica, Roma Conferenza pubblica organizzata da INFN e Fondazione Musica per Roma in occasione dell’annnuncio sulla scoperta delle onde gravitazionali

Thanks to the measurement made with the twin LIGO interferometers, the LIGO and VIRGO scientific cooperation opens up a new window on the universe, directly detecting the gravitational waves produced by the collision of two blacks holes.

A 100 anni dalla previsione di Einstein dell’esistenza delle onde gravitazionali, l’Osservatorio Gravitazionale Europeo (EGO) e la collaborazione VIRGO invitano la comunità scientifica al sito EGO di Cascina, presso Pisa, per un aggiornamento sugli sforzi volti a rilevare queste onde.

!CHAOS (*) is an open-source project, available therefore for free, created in the Frascati National Laboratories and developed in various INFN locations.

Riparte, dal 15 al 19 Febbraio 2016, l’INternational School on modern PhYsics and REsearch – INSPYRE

Our colleague Sergio Ferrara, for many years at LNF, on conclusion of the seventh round table organised in Dubna by the Italian Embassy to the Russian Federation, was awarded the prestigious JINR Medal of Honour for his Supergravity Theory.
