Mission and origins
The National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) is the Italian research agency dedicated to the study of the fundamental constituents of matter and the laws that govern them, under the supervision of the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR).
It conducts theoretical and experimental research in the fields of subnuclear, nuclear and astroparticle physics.
All of the INFN’s research activities are undertaken within a framework of international competition, in close collaboration with Italian universities on the basis of solid academic partnerships spanning decades.
LUNA and the story of the birth of the Universe
Experiment LUNA conducted deep beneath the Gran Sasso mountain have provided the most precise measurements yet of a fundamental nuclear reaction that occurred seconds after the Big Bang.
In article on Nature, Mossa et al., report meaurements that permit us to better understand the BBN and to precisely measure tha amount of ordinary matter in cosmos and potentially deepening the knowledge ofthe Early Universe.
LUNA is an international collaboration where Bari group covered a fundamental role in this actvities.
The Discreet Charm of the X(3872)
The CMS Collaboration announced the first observation of a new way the B0s meson – a particle combining the beauty quark (b) and the strange quark (s) – can disintegrate. The observation involves two other particles, the well-known ϕ meson, which consists of a strange quark and its antiquark, and a mysterious particle called X(3872), which was first discovered only in this century (2003).
DOE-INFN BARI Summer Students Exchange Programme
2020 Edition
The US Department of Energy (DOE) and the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare of Italy (INFN) announce the 2020 edition of the Summer Exchange Program dedicated to promote the exchange of students in science between the two countries.
