Involvement in Nuclear Physics Experiments
INFN Grid is involved in the large international physics experiments centered around CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC): ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb. In support of these experiments, which will generate huge amounts of data and require intensive computing power, the INFN Grid infrastructure is being continually monitored, tested, challenged, and enhanced.
ECGI is a workgroup representing the Italian contribution to the development of the EGEE/LCG Grid Middleware in terms of testing the new gLite software and providing relevant user documentation.

Famous quotes containing the words involvement in, involvement, nuclear, physics and/or experiments:
“The mother whose self-image is dependent on her children places on those children the responsibility for her own identity, and her involvement in the details of their lives can put great pressure on the children. A child suffers when everything he or she does is extremely important to a parent; this kind of over-involvement can turn even a small problem into a crisis.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“It may be tempting to focus on the fact that, even among those who support equality, men’s involvement as fathers remains a far distance from what most women want and most children need. Yet it is also important to acknowledge how far and how fast many men have moved towards a pattern that not long ago virtually all men considered anathema.”
—Katherine Gerson (20th century)
“The reduction of nuclear arsenals and the removal of the threat of worldwide nuclear destruction is a measure, in my judgment, of the power and strength of a great nation.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“He who is conversant with the supernal powers will not worship these inferior deities of the wind, waves, tide, and sunshine. But we would not disparage the importance of such calculations as we have described. They are truths in physics because they are true in ethics.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The trouble with tea is that originally it was quite a good drink. So a group of the most eminent British scientists put their heads together, and made complicated biological experiments to find a way of spoiling it. To the eternal glory of British science their labour bore fruit.”
—George Mikes (b. 1912)
