Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare
The Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) is an Italian research institute dedicated to the study of nuclear and subnuclear physics. Established in 1951, it conducts advanced research in areas such as particle physics, astrophysics, and nuclear physics. INFN collaborates with international scientific communities and participates in major global experiments, including those at the CERN laboratory.
INFN operates several laboratories and research centers across Italy, focusing on both theoretical and experimental physics. The institute plays a crucial role in developing technologies for particle accelerators and detectors, contributing to significant discoveries in the field, including studies related to the Higgs boson and gravitational waves.
