  1. Physics in Society: from health cure to unveiling art mysteries Catalina Curceanu, LNF-INFN International Masterclasses, February 6, 2013

  2. LNF DAFNE-light LINAC DAFNE BTF SPARC FLAME

  3. DAΦNE

  4. SDDs & Target (inside vacuum) Kaon detector

  5. Positron Electron Tomography It is a technique used to see inside the body One injects in the patient a substance containing a radioactive isotope (as C11 – glucosium). The radioactive substance is produced in an accelerator ( a ciclotron) A PET apparatus has ~ 10.000 G Ray detectors

  6. Computerized Tomography

  7. CT allows to have a 3-dmensional map of the body

  8. The 3,300-year-old mummy of King Tutankhamun is scanned to assess the need for restoration and also to attempt to discover the cause of his early death (January 2005)(Computed Tomography Imaging (CT Scan)

  9. Hadron therapy Hadrons (as protons or ions. C) can be used to cure tumors. To do this one uses accelerators. The eye melanoma are curable almost Exclusively by hadron therapy The cure with a proton beam allows to deposit A big quantity of energy only in the tumoral region

  10. Adroterapia in Italy (CNAO)

  11. Object to study Detector X-ray (or particle) source

  12. Physics and art • Each element has a particular (characteristic) energy in the X-ray spectrum • Nello spettro di fluorescenza dell’affresco di Lorenzo Lotto si nota la presenza di ferro (Fe) e di oro (Au).

  13. PentimentiLe Sueur – musa Urania (particolare)

  14. Pigment analysesLeonardo Da Vinci – La Gioconda

  15. Painting on another paintingRembrandt – Portrait of young man Titus

  16. Blood search

  17. Blood search

  18. Blood search

  19. “Normal Matter” 4% Dark Energy 73% Dark Matter 23%

  20. Do aliens exist?

  21. Equation of Drake:

  22. Sono qui e si fanno gli affari nostri • UFO

  23. cerchi nel grano

  24. Large Hadron Collider

  25. Large Hadron Collider

  26. super-kamiokande (neutrino)

  27. ANTARES (neutrino, materia oscura)

  28. ARECIBO (Puerto Rico) diam. 305 m,profondita' 51 m
