__________________________________________________________________________

   Institut Ruđer Bošković (IRB) već šestu godinu zaredom, organizira
   ciklus popularno-znanstvenih predavanja povodom dodjele Nobelovih
   nagrada iz prirodnih znanosti.

   Posljednje predavanje u ovogodišnjem ciklusu 'Nobel na IRB-u'
   povodom Nobelove nagrade za fiziku za otkriće neutrinskih
   oscilacija održat će dr. sc. Fabrizio Nesti u srijedu 2. prosinca
   2015. s početkom u 15:30 sati u dvorani III. krila Instituta Ruđer
   Bošković, Bijenička 54.

   Dobitnici ovogodišnje Nobelove nagrade za fiziku su Takaaki
   Kajita, Japanac sa Sveučilišta u Tokiju i Arthur B. McDonald,
   Kanađanin sa Sveučilišta Queen's u Kingstonu za ključnu ulogu u
   istraživanju misterioznih subatomskih čestica neutrina.

   Naime, dvojica fizičara dali su ''važan doprinos eksperimentima
   koji su pokazali da neutrini mijenjaju identitete. Ta metamorfoza
   podrazumijeva da bi morali imati masu. Otkriće je promijenilo naše
   shvaćanje najdubljeg funkcioniranja materije i može se pokazati
   krucijalnim za razumijevanje svemira'' - objavila je u priopćenju
   Kraljevska švedska akademija.

   Predavanje će se održati na engleskom jeziku.

   SAŽETAK:

   The 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics was jointly awarded to Takaaki
   Kajita and Arthur McDonald, key scientists respectively in the
   Super-Kamiokande and SNO experimental collaborations, which in
   1998 confirmed unambiguously the phenomenon of “neutrino
   oscillations”, i.e. of the peculiar fact that the three known
   neutrinos switch identities and appear/disappear during their
   travel, from the atmosphere to the ground or from the sun to the
   earth. 

   Envisaged by the theoretical physicist Bruno Pontecorvo in the
   fifties, neutrino oscillations demonstrate that neutrinos have a
   nonzero mass, unlike it was assumed in the Standard Model.

   The phenomenon is uniquely quantum mechanical in nature, and it
   thus also provides a striking manifestation of quantum physics at
   macroscopic kilometric distances. In addition, that crucial
   discovery carried a large number of implications for observing the
   physics of nuclear reactions in stars and supernovae and for the
   cosmological evolution of the universe. 

   At the same time, it posed new fundamental problems on the origin
   and nature of neutrino masses, and opened a possible window to new
   physics beyond the Standard Model, still motivating many of our
   nowadays searches at the low and high energy frontiers, like the
   Large Hadron Collider.

   In this presentation I will introduce you to the neutrino, one of
   the most elusive particles in nature, its discovery, the detection
   of oscillations in huge underground experiments, and the ongoing
   future experimental probes for the theory behind them.

   BIOGRAFIJA PREDAVAČA:

   Fabrizio Nesti completed its PhD at SISSA in 1996 and is senior
   research associate at RBI since 2013. He has authored circa 50
   publications in international leading journals, with a broad
   spectrum of interests within the field of theoretical high energy
   physics, physics beyond the standard model, but also gravity and
   astroparticle physics, where he assessed together with P. Salucci
   the dark matter density near the solar system, now fiducial value
   in the reference Partice Data Group publication.

   He is currently working also on signals of physics beyond the
   standard model which connect collider physics to the possible
   origin of neutrino masses and parity restoration at accessible
   scales. 

He submitted the successful EU project "InDiCo" now worldwide system for
scientific conferences, participated in the foundation of the JHEP
electronic journal, and has recently coordinated a successful grant
application for a Twinning grant of for the RBI Division of Theoretical
Physics. He has been advisor of two master degree students and one PhD (plus
one ongoing).

Veselimo se Vašem dolasku!
