Changes in morphology and organization of collagen fibers contribute to the formation of a microenvironment which facilitate tumor progression through the impact on migration and polarization of the cells [1]. Changes in morphology and organization of collagen fibers in cancer, itself, are the subject of numerous studies, while it is far less known about the changes in collagen fibers in the uninvolved mucosa away from cancer The main histochemical staining for detection of collagen fibers under light micrsocpy is Masson trichrome staining. Recently, second harmonic generation (SHG) imaging of collagen fibers using nonlinear laser scanning micrscopy emerged as a poweful tool enabeling imaging of collagen fibers in unstained and unfixed tissue [2]. Due to growing interest in role of collagen fibers in cancer progression, the number of methods for quantification of different parameters of collagen fibers is increasing. Currently available methods are based on the intensity derivates, intensity variation, Fourier transform, Hough transform, directional filters and fiber tracking algorithm [3]. The aim of our study was to analyse changes in morphology and organization of collagen fibers in the uninvolved colonic mucosa 10 cm and 20 cm away from the cancer, in comparison with healthy subjects, using Masson trichrome staining, SHG imaging and multiple complementary methods for quantification.

The Forward Physics Facility (FPF) is a cavern with the space and infrastructure to support a suite of far-forward experiments at the Large Hadron Collider during the High Luminosity era. Located along the beam collision axis and shielded from the interaction point by at least 100 m of concrete and rock, the FPF will house experiments that will detect particles outside the acceptance of the existing large LHC experiments and will observe rare and exotic processes in a low-background environment. We will talk about the current status of plans for the FPF, including recent progress in civil engineering in identifying promising sites for the FPF and the experiments currently envisioned. We briefly review the physics topics that will be advanced by the FPF, including searches for long-lived particles, probes of dark matter and dark sectors, high-statistics studies of TeV neutrinos of all three flavors, aspects of perturbative and non-perturbative QCD, and high-energy astroparticle physics. And then discuss the nature of detectors that are needed for this adventure including a liquid argon TPC which will push the state of the art for such detectors.     Join Zoom Meeting https://infn-it.zoom.us/j/87005285608?pwd=MFRTNkZtelIvVXpQeTVuTlBFekxCUT09 Meeting ID: 870 0528 5608 Passcode: 735455      

Bulk Micromegas detectors are well known for their good spatial and time resolution, and simplicity of manufacturing and maintenance which are widely applied in various experiments. In this presentation there are described two main JINR (Joint Institute for Nuclear Research) technological contributions based on HL-LHC upgrade projects: NSW upgrade project and Compass++/AMBER program at CERN. Within the upgrade projects here are presented the main technological chain and performance of MicroMegas chamber.     Join Zoom Meeting https://infn-it.zoom.us/j/85899837821?pwd=NFQ2eHBIbllvV1JYYlFOVGFqUk5XUT09 Meeting ID: 858 9983 7821 Passcode: 768668

Over the past three decades astronomers have discovered over 5000 planets orbiting distant stars – known as “exoplanets”. In this talk I will outline the ingenious methods that have been used to overcome the extreme challenges involved in finding these exoplanets. I will discuss the stunning variety of exoplanets that we have found, and what we have learnt from these discoveries. I will then discuss how we are able to learn more about these planets using observations that probe their orbits, temperatures, and even compositions. Finally I will finish by looking ahead to what the future might hold in terms of uncovering planets and even life beyond our Solar System.

The XX LNF Summer School “Bruno Touschek” in Nuclear, Subnuclear and Astroparticle Physics will take place at the INFN, Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, Italy from Monday, July 11th to Friday, July 15th, 2022. The School is intended for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows in theoretical and experimental high-energy physics. The 2022 edition of the School includes lectures on selected theoretical and experimental topics, discussion sessions, and the 7th Young Researchers Workshop on `Physics Challenges in the LHC Era’, which will take place on Monday, July 11th and on Thursday, July 14th. Students planning to participate in the School are strongly encouraged to apply to give a presentation of their research in the workshop, by sending an email to gennaro.corcella@lnf.infn.it, with a copy to school@lnf.infn.it, with the proposed talk title. The contributions will be published in Frascati Physics Series. A few fellowships covering the registration fee and/or accommodation are available for selected participants giving talks. The 2022 edition of the School consists of six sets of lectures, divided equally between theoretical and experimental topics, two discussion sessions, and a colloquium for a general audience on `Brave New Worlds: Discovery and Characterisation of Planets Beyond our Solar System’. The deadline to apply to the school and possibly give a presentation in the workshop is June 15th.

Il consiglio dei laboratori aperto dedicato alla discussione dei preventivi 2023 si svolge in presenza.

L’XLab Frascati, presente all’interno dei Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati e specializzato nell’uso di tecniche spettroscopiche di raggi X e nella produzione e caratterizzazione di ottiche per raggi X (ottiche policapillari), apre le sue porte fisiche e virtuali ai ricercatori e alle ricercatrici durante la giornata di workshop dal titolo “AARP – XlabF: Compact Solutions for Future Advanced X-ray Studies”. Partendo da piccole semplici applicazioni, ideate dalla collaborazione del Prof. Sultan Dabagov con il Dr. Giorgio Cappuccio ormai diverso tempo fa, di una tecnologia all’epoca poco conosciuta in Italia, ossia le ottiche policapillari, si è oggi arrivati ad un laboratorio dedicato sia alle tecnologie di innovazione basate sulla realizzazione e produzione di lenti policapillari, che alle metodiche di analisi basate sui raggi X. Oggi, l’XLab Frascati (o più semplicemente XlabF) rappresenta una facility che dispone di strumentazione per lo studio di tipo cristallografico, spettroscopico e tomografico, grazie a 3 apparati strumentali perfettamente funzionanti e a disposizione di utenti locali ed esterni con i quali  è possibile ottenere informazioni di imaging ad elevata risoluzione, micro-tomografia, micro-fluorescenza 2D e 3D, diffrazione e test di diagnostica di sorgenti, ottiche e rivelatori di nuova generazione. Tutto questo è stato reso possibile grazie anche alle numerose collaborazioni con colleghi sparsi in tutta Italia e nel mondo in ambiti tra i più disparati quali l’elettronica, i beni culturali, l’archeologia, la dendrologia per citarne alcuni. Ed è proprio la volontà di mantenere vivo questo intreccio di competenze nonché di creare nuove sinergie tra i partecipanti ed uditori del workshop che …
