Description
The Frascati National Laboratory (LNF) is the largest and the oldest among the National Laboratories of the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN). Since its foundation in 1954, it has been devoted to two main activities: the development, construction and operation of particle accelerators; the design and construction of forefront detectors for particle, nuclear and astro-particle experiments.
The focus of the scientific program carried out at LNF has always been in the field of high energy physics, but interdisciplinary research has grown of importance along the years, with a perfect balance between internal activities, carried out on site, and external ones taking place in the major laboratories all over the world.
In the presentation, an overview of the research program carried out at the Laboratory will be presented.
