I coordinatori delle 5 linee scientifiche dei LNF presentano una breve panoramica sulle attività principali previste per il prossimo anno. Gli interventi potranno essere seguiti solo in modalità remota tramite piattaforma Webex.  

The ultra-rare flavour-changing neutral-current decay K+ -> pi+ nu nu-bar offers a uniquely sensitive probe in the search for new physics. The NA62 experiment at CERN was primarily designed to achieve a precision measurement of this decay and took data from 2015 to 2018, significantly improving experimental knowledge of the branching ratio. Recently, the experiment submitted for publication final results from data taken in 2017 and released the results of a preliminary analysis of the 2018 data set. In this seminar, these results will be reviewed, and the prospects for results from NA62’s second run, scheduled from 2021 to 2024, will be discussed.   Istruzioni per partecipare: La connessione ai seminari online dovrà essere effettuata tramite Vibe.

  This talk will review what we know (and we do not know) about the sources and mechanisms that generate very high energy particles in the Galaxy and in the Universe. These sources can be studied with a multi-messenger (cosmic rays, gamma rays, neutrinos and gravitational waves) observations. Recent studies have given very important information, but many fundamental question remain open.   Istruzioni per partecipare: La connessione ai seminari online dovrà essere effettuata tramite Vibe.

Despite many decades of experimental and theoretical efforts around the world many aspects of the role gluons play in QCD remains a mystery. While we know gluons are important, we don’t know exactly how the properties of hadrons such as mass and their spin, emerge from their interactions amongst themselves and with quarks. We don’t know exactly exactly exactly how the nuclei are bound together. We don’t know if there is saturated phase of nuclear matter predominantly made of gluons at high energy in all nucleons and nuclei, as is predicted by QCD. A high-energy, high-lumonisity polarized electron-ion collider is proposed to address these compelling unsolved questions in QCD.  On January 19, 2020 the US department of Energy declared the start of the EIC project and that the site would be Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) using the already existing Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The Thomas Jefferson National Laboratory (TJNF or JLab) will be work with BNL closely as equal partner, and both together with the world wide EIC enthusiasts organized under the umbrella of EIC Users Group will realize this facility at the end of the decade. In this talk, I will highlight the exciting science of EIC, and review the current activities underway aimed at realizing the first collisions for physics at the turn of this decade.     Istruzioni per partecipare: La connessione ai seminari online dovrà essere effettuata tramite Vibe.

We report results from searches for new physics with low-energy electronic recoil data recorded with the XENON1T detector. With an exposure of 0.65 tonne-years and an unprecedentedly low background rate of 76 ± 2 events/(tonne x year x keV) between 1-30 keV, the data enables competitive searches for solar axions, an enhanced neutrino magnetic moment using solar neutrinos, and bosonic dark matter. An excess over known backgrounds is observed below 7 keV, rising towards lower energies and prominent between 2–3 keV. The excess is interpreted as due to the physics channels mentioned above, as well as due to a new source of background previously not considered, as the beta decay of tritium.

Nature has recently reported on its cover about the indication by the T2K collaboration of a difference between the fundamental behavior of neutrinos and of antineutrinos, their anti-matter counterparts. The T2K Collaboration (Tokai to Kamioka) found a mismatch in the way neutrinos and antineutrinos oscillate.  In particular it was observed that the measured oscillation probability is not the same for both. This asymmetry is known as charge-conjugation and parity (CP) violation.  If different from zero, it may help us understand the origin of the current prevalence of matter over antimatter in the Universe. In this seminar we will illustrate the present and past contribution of the T2K experiment to the discoveries of the Neutrino Oscillation, the impact of new result and prospects (medium and long term) for the Neutrino Physics in Japan. After analysing nine years’ worth of data, the T2K experiment reached a level of statistical significance high enough to provide an indication that CP violation occurs in these fundamental particles. More precise measurements are needed to confirm these findings. However, these measurements do strengthen previous observations and pave the way towards a future discovery. A new generation of experiments under construction might provide an answer to the problem of the ‘missing’ antimatter in the next ten years.

Multi-messenger astronomy turned into a reality in the past five years, with the first detection of Gravitational Waves in 2015, the first gravitational and electromagnetic observations of the coalescence of neutron stars in 2017, the first evidence of a common source of neutrinos and energetic photons from a distant galaxy in 2017. The Fermi telescope, operating as an all-sky monitor for high energy gamma-ray transients, is central to such observational efforts which include a large community of different observatories. In this seminar I will review the scientific context, the current observational scenario and the future prospects for Fermi and other players of this global endeavor.
