Description

On 9 February 1959 it was announced that the 1 GeV energy was reached by the Frascati synchrotron. This great achievement, considering the Italy of the post-war period, started the Frascati history on particle physics experiments and on development of particle accelerators and detectors. The synchrotron team then developed the accelerator concept by building the first electron and positrons collider in the world, ADA: subsequently the ADONE colliders and the first Phi-Factory DAPHNE have been realized in Frascati.
