    Live webcast from CERN on the occasion of the launch of a "Space Ferry", named after Edoardo Amaldi, by the European Space Agency (ESA). Amaldi was CERN's first Secretary General and founding father, and a visionary pioneer for ESA. With the participation of Ugo Amaldi, CERN physicist and son of Edoardo Amaldi, Carlo Rubbia, Nobel Laureate in Physics and Former Director General of CERN and Arturo Russo, historian and author with John Kriege of CERN and ESA's Histor

    Aspetti variazionali della meccanica I

    In questo nostro contributo alla riedizione delle classiche Lezioni di Levi-Civita e Amaldi vogliamo esporre alcuni argomenti che sono in comune fra le discipline della Meccanica e del Calcolo delle Variazioni, argomenti che le Lezioni non menzionano del tutto (teorema di Noether) o relegano a poche righe (teorema locale di minima azione). Riteniamo inoltre utile trattare altri argomenti con un linguaggio che unifichi la Meccanica e il Calcolo delle Variazioni (principio di Hamilton, geodetiche)

    Pro­ton and car­bon ion beams pre­sent ad­van­ta­geous depth-dose dis­tri­bu­tions with re­spect to X-rays. Car­bon ions allow a bet­ter con­trol of "ra­diore­sis­tant" tu­mours due to their high­er bi­o­log­i­cal re­sponse. For deep-seat­ed tu­mours pro­ton and car­bon ion beams of some nA and en­er­gies of about 200 MeV and 400 MeV/u re­spec­tive­ly are need­ed. For these ap­pli­ca­tions TERA pro­posed the "cy­clinac": a high-fre­quen­cy linac which boosts the hadrons ac­cel­er­at­ed by a cy­clotron. The di­men­sions of the com­plex can be re­duced if high­er ac­cel­er­at­ing gra­di­ents are achieved in the linac. To test the max­i­mum achiev­able fields, a 3 GHz cav­i­ty has been built by TERA. The 19 mm-long cell is fore­seen to be ex­cit­ed at 200 Hz by 3 us RF puls­es and should reach a 40 MV/m ac­cel­er­at­ing gra­di­ent, which cor­re­sponds to a peak sur­face elec­tric field Es of 260 MV/m. In a first high-pow­er test per­formed at CTF3 the cell was op­er­at­ed at 50 Hz with a max­i­mum peak power of 1 MW. The max­i­mum Es achieved was above 350 MV/m. The break­down rate at these field val­ues was around 10-1 bpp/m. The max­i­mum value of the mod­i­fied Poynt­ing vec­tor is close to the best val­ues achieved by high gra­di­ent struc­tures at 12 and 30 GHz
