Prof. Dr. Paolo Giubellino Prof. Dr. Paolo Giubellino Scientific Managing Director of the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe GmbH (FAIR GmbH) and the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH Born 9 November 1960 (age 60) Italy Nationality Italian University of Torino Alma mater University of California, Santa Cruz Scientific Managing Director of GSI and FAIR, former Spokesperson of the ALICE Known for Collaboration Lise Meitner Prize from the European Physical Society;Enrico Fermi Prize from the Awards Società Italiana di Fisica; Commendatore of the Italian Republic for scientific merits Scientific career Fields Physics (Particle physics) Institutions CERN, INFN, GSI, FAIR Paolo Giubellino is an experimental particle physicist working on High-Energy Nuclear Collisions.Currently he is the joint Scientific Managing Director of the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) and the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research (GSI) and Professor at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Technische Universität Darmstadt. Until December 31, 2016, Giubellino was Spokesperson of the ALICE: A Large Ion Collider Experiment, an international collaboration of more than 1300 people from 163 scientific institutions from 40 countries.He has carried several responsibility positions in the ALICE Collaboration since its creation in the early nineties, to be eventually elected Deputy Spokesperson from 2004 to 2010 and Spokesperson from 1 January 2011.On July 17, 2013, he was elected for a second term as Spokesperson of ALICE. Giubellino has dedicated most of his scientific life to the physics of high-energy heavy ion collisions, in which quark–gluon plasma a state of ultra dense and hot matter, as it prevails in the first microseconds of the life of our universe. Moreover, he has participated in numerous experimental projects first at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron and, since the beginning of the program, at the Large Hadron Collider. Education Graduated in Physics at the University of Torino in 1983 with 110/110 cum laude and special honorable mention and continued his studies as a Fulbright fellow at the University of California, Santa Cruz. In 2000 he was awarded the title of Doctor in Physics and Mathematics (Habilitation) by the Dubna Academic Council (Russia). Research career Paolo Giubellino has dedicated most of his scientific life to the Physics of High-Energy Heavy-Ion collisions, first in HELIOS, then in NA50, in the ALICE experiment and finally at GSI and FAIR. He joined the Torino branch of the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) in 1985. In 2006 he was promoted to "research director", the highest in the three-level INFN career. Giubellino has been responsible for several scientific programs within INFN and for NATO, INTAS and EU grants. From 1990 to 1996 he was coordinator of the Group II (one of the five sections in which INFN research is organized) of the Torino branch of the INFN. From 1995 to 2000 and since 2007 he was responsible for the involvement of the Torino group in the ALICE Inner Tracking System project. Giubellino has participated in CERN heavy-ion programme from the early days of his career. He was in charge of the design, construction and operation of the SCI-PAD detector for the NA34/1 experiment as well as for the NA34/2 silicon pad detectors for the Ring Counters. In 1988 he joined the NA50 collaboration and worked in one of the fixed-target experiments. He was responsible in NA50 for the design, construction and commissioning of the silicon multiplicity detectors (MD). During his entire career, Giubellino has participated in several R&D projects directed to the development of silicon detectors and radiation tolerant electronics. He is also one of the founding fathers of the microelectronics group at INFN Torino Giubellino has been involved in ALICE from the very first feasibility studies, and has later carried a number of responsibilities in the experiment, including Project Leader for the Inner Tracking System, Chair of Conference Committee, Upgrade Coordinator and, for six years, Deputy Spokesperson (July 2000 - September 2002 and August 2006 - December 2010). He was elected Spokesperson of the ALICE Collaboration for the first time in March 2010 and re-elected in July 2013. During this period he led the ALICE Collaboration to the preparation of an Upgrade proposal for experiment, spanning the years 2018 to 2025. The upgrade project, which will involve 163 Institutions from 40 countries, has been approved by the Large Hadron Collider Committee in September 2012. On January 1, 2017, Paolo Giubellino became the first joint scientific managing director of Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe GmbH (FAIR GmbH) and GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH in Darmstadt. In addition, he has taken over the position of spokesperson of the management of FAIR and GSI. In September 2016, the FAIR Council and the GSI Supervisory Board announced their decision to appoint Giubellino. Since January 1, 2017 Giubellino is Professor at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Technische Universität Darmstadt. Science Management and Review Committees Paolo Giubellino serves in many scientific committees and panels in France, Germany, Russia, the United States, Mexico, Spain, the Czech Republic, the Republic of Korea and South Africa.

Benedict XVI in the garden of the Basilica di Santa Maria degli angeli e dei Martiri with the statue of “Galilei Divine Man” donated to the Basilica by CCaSt of Beijing. he great Galileo said that God wrote the book of nature in the form of the language of mathematics. He was convinced that God has given us two tbooks: the book of Sacred Scripture and the book of nature. and the lan - guage of nature – this was his conviction – is mathematics, so it is a language of God, a language of the Creator. Encounter of His Holiness Benedict XVI with the Youth , St Peter’s Square, thursday, 6 april 2006. n the last century, man certainly made more progress – if not always in his knowledge of himself and of God, then certainly in his knowledge of the macro- Iand microcosms – than in the entire previous history of humanity. ... Scientists do not create the world; they learn about it and attempt to imitate it, following the laws and intelligibility that nature manifests to us. the scientist’s experience as a human being is therefore that of perceiving a constant, a law, a logos that he has not created but that he has instead observed: in fact, it leads us to admit the existence of an all-powerful Reason, which is other than that of man, and which sustains the world.

The operation, involving very delicate and high-precision procedures performed by a team of scientists, engineers and technicians, was recently completed. The 19 towers that make up the detector, consisting of 988 tellurium oxide crystals and weighing almost 750 kg, are now all suspended in the coldest point of the experiment's cryostat. The collaboration is currently preparing to make the finishing touches to the system. Then, in the coming months, the cryostat will be closed, the system will be cooled and scientific operations will start. CUORE is an experiment designed to study the properties of neutrinos and, specifically, it will look for a rare process called neutrinoless double beta decay.

Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Sciences July 2009 Abstract In this thesis selected results from four heavy ion experiments: TAPS at GSI SIS, WA98 and CERES at CERN SPS and STAR at BNL RHIC are reviewed. In addition to this physics capabilities of newly build ALICE experiment at CERN LHC and results of phenomenological analysis of multiparticle production in high-energy hadron-hadron collisions are presented. Enormous c.m.s. energy region covered { from 2.3 GeV to 5.4 TeV per nucleon-nucleon pair { allows me to discuss in a unified way several im- portant phenomena characterizing novel trends in high energy nuclear physics: elliptic flow, sub-threshold particle production, thermalization, search for the disoriented chi- ral condensate and discovery of a new state of matter created in high-energy nuclear collisions. iv Declaration The work presented in this thesis is based in part on research carried out within large multi-national collaborations: ALICE, NA45/CERES and WA98 at CERN.
