G.Parisi presents the "Giovanni Paladin" prize to Livio Carenza
The 2021 edition of the prize "Giovanni Paladin" of the Società Italiana di Fisica Statistica (Italian Society of Statistical Physics) for the best PhD thesis in the field of Statistical Physics and Complex Systems will be awarded to dr. Livio Nicola Carenza who studied in Bari for his PhD in Theoretical Physics under the surpervision of prof. Giuseppe Gonnella and graduated with the dissertation titled "Confined Active Fluids: Morphology, Topological defects and flow behaviors".
The award ceremony for the 2021 "Giovanni Paladin" Prize will take place online on 28th October at 2.45pm.
The 2021 Nobel Prize Prof. Giorgio Parisi will open the ceremony with a speech in commemoration of Giovanni Paladin.
A seminar from Livio Nicola Carenza, winner of the prize, will follow.
The ceremony will be broadcasted on the YouTube channel of the Società Italiana di Fisica Statistica.
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).
