Title
Enrico Fermi: a dual genius between theories and experiments
Speaker
Prof. Luisa Cifarelli (Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Bologna)Abstract
The extraordinary achievements of Enrico Fermi during his early life in Italy are presented. These are at the origin of the establishment, in Rome, of a young and lively research centre that bears his name.
---------------------------------------------------
Luisa Cifarelli has been Full Professor of Experimental Physics in Italian Universities since 1991. She is now based at the University of Bologna.
Her research interests have always been in the domain of very high energy subnuclear physics, in the framework of international collaboration experiments at major European laboratories such as CERN and DESY , and partially also in the domain of astroparticle physics at INFN LNGS .
In the last fifteen years she has been involved in the design, construction and running of the huge time-of-flight detector of ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) at CERN LHC (Large Hadron Collider). The experiment is meant to study proton-proton and nucleus-nucleus (Pb-Pb) collisions, at extreme energies where fascinating phenomena, such as the deconfinement of quarks and gluons (in Pb-Pb), could be investigated and where unexpected discoveries could be made.
She is involved in several editorial activities, in particular she is the current editor of LA RIVISTA DEL NUOVO CIMENTO and the former Editor in Chief of EPJ PLUS, she is a member of the Editorial Board of EPJ C and a member of the Advisory Editorial Board of NIM A.
She has served in several councils, committees and commissions, she has been a member of the CERN Council and the INFN Board of Directors. She is Past President of the European Physical Society (EPS).
She is a member of the Scientific Council of JINR , Russia, and a member of the Scientific Council of CNRS , France.
She is President of the Italian Physical Society (SIF), Fellow of the Institute of Physics (IOP), a member of the Committee of International Scientific Affairs (CISA) of the American Physical Society (APS), and a member of the Scientific Committee of Centro Majorana .
She is a member of the Academia Europaea, and a member of the Accademia delle Scienze dell'Istituto di Bologna.
She is President of Centro Fermi .
