A scuola di ePIC!

di Marcella Capua

Si è svolta il 14 aprile 2026 al dipartimento di fisica dell’Università della Calabria la prima scuola di fisica per un giorno di ePIC. Scopo della scuola è stato introdurre studenti liceali al nostro esperimento, spiegarne il valore scientifico, le importanti ricadute che avrà e come osserveremo gli interessanti eventi di fisica. La mattina quindi è stato presentato l’esperimento e introdotto agli studenti l’Event Display dell’esperimento. Nel pomeriggio, in una sessione hands-on loro stesse/i hanno avuto modo di analizzare alcuni eventi che raccoglieremo con ePIC utilizzando l’Event Display, quindi hanno discusso i risultati e li hanno presentati e discussi con tre persone esperte: il responsabile della componente italiana dell’esperimento, Domenico Elia, il…

Second edition of the ePIC and EIC Physics Readiness Workshop hosted in Italy

di Salvatore Fazio

The second edition of the ePIC and EIC Physics Readiness Workshop took place from March 17 to 19, at the University of Calabria. The purpose of the meeting was to prepare the physics studies to be conducted during the first five years of operation of the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). Approximately 40 people attended the meeting at the University of Calabria, including the spokespersons and the physics analysis coordinators as well as E. Aschenauer for the EIC/Detector Project. Another ~60 collaborators followed the proceedings via videoconference. During the meeting a first feedback from the referees on a draft of the…

ePIC, ho occhi solo per te

di Marcella Capua

In ogni edizione dell’incontro della collaborazione internazionale ePIC, inclusa l’edizione del 23 gennaio 2026 tenutasi presso il Brookhaven National Laboratory, viene organizzato un concorso fotografico. I membri della collaborazione possono partecipare con le proprie foto relative al loro lavoro nell’esperimento. Le foto, raccolte nel corso degli anni, hanno lo scopo di trasmettere e documentare il lavoro dei ricercatori di un numero crescente di paesi partecipanti e l’evoluzione del rivelatore. Questo gennaio, il 1° premio è andato al prof. Salvatore Fazio, fisico dell’Università della Calabria, con la foto “Pawsome ePIC”, una curiosa foto del rivelatore ePIC sul suo portatile (stava preparando una presentazione ad una conferenza), ostacolato dalla sua gattina, Maria, incuriosita…

The January 2025 meeting of the ePIC Collaboration

di Roberto Preghenella

The January 2025 meeting of the ePIC Collaboration will take place at Villa Mondragone, the Conference Center of University of Rome Tor Vergata, from January 20th to 24th, 2025. Villa Mondragone is one of the twelve “Tusculum Villas”, the summer residences of the Roman aristocracy of the Italian Renaissance. In particular Villa Mondragone was built starting from 1573 by Cardinal Mark Sittich von Hohenems Altemps and it hosted the popes for their summer residence during the following century. It is in Villa Mondragone that pope Gregory XIII initiated in 1582 the reform of the calendar now in use and known as the Gregorian calendar.

First ePIC Photo Contest

di Antonio Paladino

We are excited to announce our first ePIC photo contest! Join by providing photos related to activity in ePIC and help us buildig an archive starting from these early times of the experiment. With future similar edition of the contest, the archive will evolve as the experiment! Photos will be collected from now till a few days before the meeting in Frascati. During the collaboration meeting all ePIC members will have the possibility to vote (electronically) and the first 3 winners will beannunced (and simbolically rewarded) during the closing session of the meeting. The rules of the contest are as…
