15:30 Using massive clusters to probe the cosmological paradigm and unveil the first light in the Universe - Piero Rosati (Universita' di Ferrara)
Using massive clusters to probe the cosmological paradigm and unveil the first light in the Universe
- Piero Rosati (Universita' di Ferrara)
15:30 - 16:30
Room: Stanza 412, Blocco C abstract: Galaxy clusters are a powerful tools to test the Lambda-Cold-Dark-Matter (LCDM) cosmological paradigm and the structure formation scenario. Their multi-wavelength study reveal key information on the dark sector of the Universe (DM and dark energy), as well as on the cosmic circulation of baryons in the cold and hot phase. I will briefly review the methodologies and recent results in this field. I will then describe an on-going project (called CLASH), which combines an Hubble treasury program with a large spectroscopic survey with the VLT to study the mass distribution (dark matter and baryons) of 25 clusters at intermediate redshift with unprecedented accuracy, using gravitational lensing and kinematics techniques. I will describe the potential of these observations to shed light on the nature of the DM. These massive clusters also act as powerful gravitational telescopes, magnifying the most distant galaxies which would otherwise escape detection, thus allowing us to search for the first stars well into the first billion year of cosmic history.

Chi sta giocando a dadi col mondo?
- Andrea Roselli (Universita' di Milano)
14:30 - 15:30
Room: Stanza 412, Blocco C Abstract: Einstein, come tutti i fisici prima di lui, era convinto che l'obiettivo della scienza fosse la descrizione di un mondo determinato, definito, indipendente dalla nostra conoscenza. Quando i fisici di Copenaghen cominciarono a parlare di indeterminismo e problema della misura, fu chiaro che la MQ - così com'era - non era compatibile con quella descrizione: si produsse uno iato tra chi, per salvare la nuova teoria dei quanti, era disposto a cambiare la propria idea di "mondo" e chi, al contrario, era convinto si dovesse cercare una teoria migliore, capace di descrivere in maniera classica la realtà. Punto affatto singolare in cui fisica e filosofia possono intrecciarsi proficuamente, dando vita alle diverse contemporanee interpretazioni. Ma com'è possibile che esistano più interpretazioni di una stessa teoria? E a che cosa servono? Da quali presupposti concettuali partono e a quale realtà si riferiscono? Ed è vero quanto riferisce Rebecca Goldstein in Properties of Light, che "in altri contesti, quelli non scientifici, la differenza tra chi è convinto dell'esistenza di una realtà indipendente e chi no è grosso modo correlata alla distinzione tra chi è sano di mente e chi dà i numeri"? E perchè Einstein, Bohr, lo stesso Mermin (padre della famosa sentenza "Shut up and calculate" - persino lui), dovettero uscire dai confini della fisica e improvvisarsi filosofi per affrontare appieno la questione?

14:00 Measuring matter perturbations with weak lensing of supernovae - Miguel Quartin (Univ. Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Brasil)
Measuring matter perturbations with weak lensing of supernovae
- Miguel Quartin (Univ. Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Brasil)
14:00 - 15:00
Room: aula 412 Abstract: Soon the number of type Ia supernovae (SNe) measurements should surpass 10^5. Understanding weak lensing effects in these objects will then be more important than ever. Although SNe lensing is usually seen as a source of systematic noise in this talk I will show how this noise can be in fact turned into signal. I will thus first describe how we were able to accurately model the lensing effects. I will then use these fits to show that the SNe Hubble diagram dispersion is basically modulated by Omega_m0 and sigma_8. I will argue that the modelling of this dispersion allows for an independent measurement also of sigma_8 with supernova data. I will finally show some results using real data.

15:00 A cosmological bound on $e^+ e^-$ mass difference - Victor, A. Novikov (ITEP, Moscow)
A cosmological bound on $e^+ e^-$ mass difference
- Victor, A. Novikov (ITEP, Moscow)
15:00 - 16:00
Room: Stanza 412, Blocco C We demonstrate that CPT-violation due to the $e^+ e^-$ mass difference generates a photon mass. As a result a cosmological bound on the photon mass leads to the bound on $e^+ e^-$ mass difference that more than 10 orders of magnitude stronger than the direct experimental bound.

15:00 Axion dark matter: constraints from cosmological observations - Massimiliano Lattanzi (Universita' di Ferrara)
Axion dark matter: constraints from cosmological observations
- Massimiliano Lattanzi (Universita' di Ferrara)
15:00 - 16:00
Room: stanza 412, blocco C The nature of dark matter is one of the most puzzling open problems of cosmology and particle physics. Axions and axion-like particles (ALPs), like the majoron, are plausible candidates for the role of dark matter. In my talk I will review the constraints that can be put on the properties of axions from the most recent observations of the temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background, in conjunction with the measurements of baryon acoustic oscillations and other cosmological data.

Room: aula 412 The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer is a precision particle physics detector installed on the International Space Station since May 19, 2011. More than 40 billion of cosmic ray particles have been collected in its first 30 months of operations and nearly 11 million electron and positrons have been selected among them to accurately measure their fluxes in an extended energy range. Results on the positron fraction, e+, e- and combined (e++e-) fluxes will be discussed as well as the detector performances and analysis techniques used to achieve them.

11:00 Polarization measurements of Lambda particles in pp collisions at 2.76 and 7 TeV in the ALICE experiment. - Liliet Calero Diaz (INFN Frascati)
Polarization measurements of Lambda particles in pp collisions at 2.76 and 7 TeV in the ALICE experiment.
- Liliet Calero Diaz (INFN Frascati)
11:00 - 12:00
Measurements of transverse polarization of lambda hyperons produced in high energy pp collisions may help to address several open issues about lambda production and polarization mechanisms, such as the origin of spontaneous lambda polarization. Its decay into a proton and a pion in a parity violating weak decay enables the determination of the Λ hyperon polarization by measuring the angular distribution of its decay products. In order to correct for the acceptance and efficiency of the detector MC data samples were also analyzed. The corrected longitudinal and transverse polarization has been measured as function of pT and pseudorapity in minimum bias events collected by the ALICE experiment at sqrt(s) = 2.76, and 7 TeV pp collisions.
