Scuola Internazionale Di Fisica “Enrico Fermi” International School of Physics “Enrico Fermi” SOCIETÀ ITALIANA DI FISICA Scuola Internazionale di Fisica “Enrico Fermi” International School of Physics “Enrico Fermi” La Scuola Internazionale di Fisica “Enrico Fermi” (International School of Physics “Enrico Fermi”) con i suoi Corsi è una delle più prestigiose attività culturali della Società Italiana di Fisica (SIF), sin dal 1953. In quell’anno, il Presidente della Società, Giovanni Polvani dell’Università di Milano, concepì l’idea di una Scuola estiva a livello post universitario che avrebbe dovuto conquistare un’altissima rilevanza internazionale. Scelse come sede una magnifica villa sul Lago di Como, Villa Monastero, in Provincia, oggi, di Lecco. Nel tempo, la Scuola di Varenna si è evoluta. Il numero dei Corsi è passato da uno a tre e adesso a quattro all’anno. Il loro prestigio internazionale è rimasto indiscusso. I più celebri scienziati del mondo, come direttori, docenti o studenti hanno partecipato alla Scuola di Varenna. Gli argomenti, monografici, si sono estesi a tutti i campi della fisica, anche in relazione allo sviluppo di nuovi settori, specialmente in Italia e con particolare attenzione all’UE. La Scuola è, da sempre, un’attesa occasione d’incontro per illustri scienziati e giovani allievi provenienti da tutto il mondo. La tranquilla atmosfera, le acque limpide del lago, la vita della Scuola facilitano il dialogo tra i giovani e gli esperti con giovamento intellettuale di entrambi. In conclusione, si può affermare che la International School of Physics “Enrico Fermi” di Varenna è tra le più famose e importanti scuole di fisica post laurea del mondo. Dalla sua istituzione nel 1953, la Scuola ha attratto, come detto, i più illustri studiosi del mondo. In allegato la lista di tutti i Premi Nobel passati da Varenna negli ultimi 60 anni, in qualità di semplici partecipanti, osservatori, docenti o direttori dei vari corsi. Per celebrare questo importante traguardo della Scuola di Varenna, il 15 giugno 2013 la SIF ha in programma un simposio internazionale su temi di grande attualità che si intitolerà “Passion for Physics” (programma in allegato), cui parteciperanno alcuni dei Premi Nobel sopra citati e alcuni Direttori dei Corsi che si sono tenuti negli anni. Il simposio sarà organizzato insieme al CNR, di cui ricorre nel 2013 il 90° anniversario, e al Politecnico di Milano, di cui ricorre il centocinquantenario, e rappresenterà una grande occasione per queste istituzioni scientifiche e per il territorio. La programmazione dei corsi estivi per il triennio 2013-2014-2015 nel quadro della SCUOLA INTERNAZIONALE DI FISICA "ENRICO FERMI" prevede, come nel precedente triennio, quattro corsi all'anno, tipicamente nel periodo giugno-luglio. A questi corsi si aggiunge, nel 2014, il secondo corso della JOINT EPS-SIF INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL ON ENERGY, organizzato con cadenza biennale nella stessa sede in collaborazione con la Società Europea di Fisica (EPS). I corsi convogliano a Varenna studiosi provenienti da tutto il mondo, ogni anno in media oltre 300 tra docenti e studenti di circa 40 Paesi diversi.

  • Laser Spectroscopy to Resolve Hyperfine Structure of Rubidium
    Laser spectroscopy to resolve hyperfine structure of rubidium Hannah Saddler, Adam Egbert, and Will Weigand (Dated: 12 November 2015) This experiment had two main goals: to create an absorption spectrum for rubidium using the technique of absorption spectroscopy and to resolve the hyperfine structures for the two rubidium isotopes using saturation absorption spectroscopy. The absorption spectrum was used to determine the frequency difference between the ground state and first excited state for both isotopes. The calculated frequency difference was 6950 MHz ± 90 MHz for rubidium 87 and 3060 MHz ± 60 MHz for rubidium 85. Both values agree with the literature values. The hyperfine structure for rubidium 87 was able to be resolved using this experimental setup. The energy differences were determined to be 260 MHz ± 10 MHz and 150 MHz ± 10 Mhz MHz. The hyperfine structure for rubidium 85 was unable to be resolved using this experimental setup. Additionally the theory of doppler broadening was used to make measurements of the full width half maximum. These values were used to calculate a temperature of 310K ± 40 K which makes sense because the experiments were performed at room temperature. I. INTRODUCTION in the theory section and how they were manipulated and used to derive the results from the recorded data.

  • EYLSA Laser for Atom Cooling
    Application Note by QUANTELQUANTEL 1/7 Distribution: external EYLSA laser for atom cooling For decades, cold atom system and Bose-Einstein condensates (obtained from ultra-cold atoms) have been two of the most studied topics in fundamental physics. Several Nobel prizes have been awarded and hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested in this research. In 1975, cold atom research was enhanced through discoveries of laser cooling techniques by two groups: the first being David J. Wineland and Hans Georg Dehmelt and the second Theodor W. Hänsch and Arthur Leonard Schawlow. These techniques were first demonstrated by Wineland, Drullinger, and Walls in 1978 and shortly afterwards by Neuhauser, Hohenstatt, Toschek and Dehmelt. One conceptually simple form of Doppler cooling is referred to as optical molasses, since the dissipative optical force resembles the viscous drag on a body moving through molasses. Steven Chu, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and William D. Phillips were awarded the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics for their work in “laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms”. In 2001, Wolfgang Ketterle, Eric Allin Cornell and Carl Wieman also received the Nobel Prize in Physics for realization of the first Bose-Einstein condensation. Also in 2012, Serge Haroche and David J. Wineland were awarded a Nobel prize for “ground-breaking experimental methods that enable measuring and manipulation of individual quantum systems”. Even though this award is more directed toward photons studies, it makes use of cold atoms (Rydberg atoms). Laser cooling Principle Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_cooling and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_cooling Laser cooling refers to a number of techniques in which atomic To a stationary atom the laser is neither red- and molecular samples are cooled to near absolute zero through nor blue-shifted and the atom does not absorb interaction with one or more laser fields.

  • Edited from Wikipedia
    Laser (Edited from Wikipedia) SUMMARY A laser is a machine that makes an amplified, single-color source of light. The beam of light from the laser does not get wider or weaker as most sources of light do. It uses special gases or crystals to make the light with only a single color. Then mirrors are used to amplify (make stronger) that color of light and to make all the light travel in one direction, so it stays as a narrow beam, sometimes called a collimated beam. When pointed at something, this narrow beam makes a single point of light. All of the energy of the light stays in that one narrow beam instead of spreading out like a flashlight (electric torch). The word "laser" is an acronym for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation". A laser creates light by special actions involving a material called an "optical gain medium". Energy is put into this material using an 'energy pump'. This can be electricity, another light source, or some other source of energy. The energy makes the material go into what is called an excited state. This means the electrons in the material have extra energy, and after a bit of time they will lose that energy. When they lose the energy they will release a photon (a particle of light). The type of optical gain medium used (such as ruby) will change what color (wavelength) will be produced. Releasing photons is the "stimulated emission of radiation" part of laser. Many things can radiate light, like a light bulb, but the light will not be organized in one direction and phase.
