EEE COLLABORATION MEETING AT CREF

On July 7 and 8,  Enrico Fermi  Research Center (CREF) hosted the meeting of the EEE Collaboration (Extreme Energy Events Project). The experiment, a result of the collaboration between CREF and INFN (National Institute for Nuclear Physics), is dedicated to the study of cosmic rays and outreach activities in over 70 schools participating in the […]

Researchers from the EEE collaboration return to the North Pole

Since May 12 to May 19, a team of researchers from the EEE Collaboration – Francesco Noferini (INFN Bologna), Alessandro Corvaglia (INFN Lecce), and Corrado Cicalò (INFN Cagliari) – have conducted maintenance work on the POLA-R detectors at the CNR research station “Dirigibile Italia” in Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard. The operations are being supported by station leaders […]

The meeting of the National Scientific Committee 3 of INFN at CREF

The Enrico Fermi Research Center had the pleasure of hosting the meeting of the National Scientific Committee 3 (CSN3) of the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), the institution that coordinates the research activities of the Institute in the field of nuclear physics. The Member of the Executive Board, Diego Bettoni opened the proceedings of […]

Entangled. Protagonists, experiments, and incredible hypotheses at the birth of Quantum Mechanics

In the second conference of the “Intertwining Physics and History” series, organized by CREF, we have invited Giovanni Battimelli (former Associate Professor of History of Physics at Sapienza University of Rome), Giuseppe Mussardo (Full Professor of Theoretical Physics at SISSA in Trieste), and Edwige Pezzulli (physicist and science communicator) to retrace together—through the narrative of […]

The Atom Unveiled. A journey through the Paris of the Curies

In this first conference of the series “Intersections between Physics and History” organized by CREF, we invited Camilla Maiani – Head of Mediation at the Curie Museum in Paris – who guided us on a fascinating journey “through the Paris of the Curie family, between stories, discoveries, and political engagement.” From the discoveries of natural […]

Presentation day of the Enrico Fermi Research Center’s activities

On February 20th, the newly appointed Scientific Council and Internal Evaluation Committee met for the first time at the Fermi Research Centre to review CREF’s research projects. The Scientific Council, composed of Halina Abramowicz, Maria Josè Garcia Borge, Federico Giove, Karl Grandin and Luciano Pietronero, and the Evaluation Committee, formed by Luc Bergé, Luisa Cifarelli […]

EEE Collaboration Meeting at CREF

On July 17 and 18, the Collaboration Meeting of the Extreme Energy Events (EEE) Project, an experiment dedicated to the study of cosmic rays and scientific dissemination in schools resulting from the collaboration between CREF and INFN, was held at the Enrico Fermi Research Center (CREF) in Rome. The President of CREF, Prof. Angela Bracco, […]

EEE telescopes observed geomagnetic storms

We will long remember the exceptional solar storm of May 10th which generated intense northern lights even at mid-latitudes, painting Italian skies red. This phenomenon was not directly related to the entry of solar particles through the Earth’s magnetic poles (thus not a true aurora borealis at our latitudes) but rather linked to the intensification […]
