Gamma-ray, particle and exotic physics at TeV energies with the MAGIC telescopes
No full textMAGIC is an instrument composed of a pair of telescopes for gamma- ray and cosmic-ray astrophysics in the TeV range. It is operating for more than a decade now, and is one of the current best performing instruments in this field, specifically at low energies, where it achieves the largest sensitivity. MAGIC pursues a strong program in galactic and extragalactic gamma-ray science. Its catalog of blazars, radiogalaxies and galaxy clusters observations as well as supernovae, novae, pulsar wind nebulae, pulsars and binary systems has now increased to several tens of detected targets. In addition, MAGIC is suited for cosmic ray searches, being sensitive to the signatures of earth-skimming tau-neutrinos, cosmic antiprotons, and others. Furthermore, MAGIC has a strong fundamental physics program, with searches for particle dark matter, Lorentz Invariance violations, axion-like particles and primordial black hole evaporation, providing important recent constraints in some relevant cases. Finally, MAGIC has a follow-up program of Gravitational Waves events. Few highlights topics will be discussed in this contribution

Toward a new generation of Cherenkov telescopes with CTA
No full textGamma-rays provide a powerful insight into the non-thermal uni- verse and a valid probe for new physics beyond the standard model. Despite its relatively recent appearance, very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy from the ground has proven to have reached a mature technology stage, with fast assem- bling, relatively cheap and reliable telescopes. The scientific outcome is impressive, with more than 140 sources discovered in few years, and several astrophysical sce- narios of particle acceleration and gamma-ray transport already disproved by VHE data.
The goal of future installation is to increase the sensitivity by a factor 10 compared to current installations, and enlarge the energy domain from few tens of GeV to several tens of TeV with unprecedented angular and energy resolution and a factor 3 larger field of view.
Hereafter, we present design considerations for the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), a project for a new generation of highly automated telescopes for VHE gamma-ray astronomy

Technical Solutions for the MAGIC Telescope
No full textThe atmospheric Cherenkov telescope MAGIC for ground-based gamma-ray astronomy is operating since late 2003 on the Canarian island La Palma. The telescope’s 17 m diameter mirror is composed of 964 light weight, square all- aluminum mirrors of 234 m2 total area, which allows to lower the energy thresh- old to a value far beyond that of past generation of telescopes. The trigger sys- tem, based on ultra-fast decision logics (topological, time-coincidences, etc.) is designed to cope with very fast PMT signals (2 ns). Details of the MAGIC telescope will be presented, technical problems and solutions will be discussed as well as a report on three years of operations will be given
Postural alterations in breast cancer survivors: proposal of the PABS evaluation protocol based on a systematic review
No full textINTRODUCTION: The constant improvement of the diagnostic process and the crescent efficacy of treatment options for Breast Cancer have led to an increase in the survival rate of patients. Thereby, it has become fundamental for Breast Care Units to deal with short-, medium-, and long-term sequelae of the disease and its treatment. Among these, changes in posture seem to have a crucial role. This review aims to collect and summarize the current knowledge on postural disorders in Breast Cancer Survivors, focusing on evaluation methods and rehabilitation protocols.EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: A systematic research was conducted on PubMed, Scopus and World of Science databases, considering all the studies published up to 2021. Case reports, case series, cross-sectional, retrospective and prospective studies were included. Narrative and Sys-tematic reviews were excluded.EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: After applying the eligibility criteria and bibliographic expansion, 55 articles were selected. Forty-four studies fo-cused on the analysis and the quantification of postural abnormalities, showing a huge variability in population characteristics, valuative methods and outcome measures. Most of them are cross-sectional studies. Rehabilitation treatments have been considered in only 12 studies: all the reha-bilitative treatments proved to be effective but, the heterogeneity among the evaluation methods has made a comparison impossible. Hence, we designed a complete evaluation protocol for the assessment of postural abnormalities in Breast Cancer Survivors. Our protocol has been drawn following the structure of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.CONCLUSIONS: Our review pointed out the crescent interest of the current Literature on analysis and treatment of postural alterations in breast cancer survivors. Since the extreme variety of outcome measures made it impossible to give a clear indication for evaluation and treatment of this disorder, we designed a complete evaluation protocol for the assessment of postural abnormalities in breast cancer survivors, with the goal of guiding the design of new clinical trials on these subjects.(Cite this article as: Doro E, Azzollini V, Ghilli M, Roncella M, Chisari C.
