About the Conference
Organised by INFN–Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati and CERN, under high sponsorship of the Italian Physical Society (SIF). A premier international meeting dedicated to the physics of charged particle interactions in strong electromagnetic fields, from fundamental phenomena to cutting-edge applications.

Gateway to the Adriatic. A historic port city in southern Italy where ancient Roman columns meet cutting-edge science.
Crystal Channeling
When a high-energy beam traverses a bent crystal, particles interact with the atomic planes through distinct quantum mechanisms — each producing a characteristic deflection signature.
