GSSI - Gran Sasso Science Institute

GSSI - Gran Sasso Science Institute International PhD school and center for research and higher education in Physics, Maths, Computer Science, Social Sciences.

Scuola internazionale di dottorato e centro di ricerca e formazione superiore in Fisica, Matematica, Informatica, Scienze Sociali. [English version]
The GSSI - Gran Sasso Science Institute aims to create a new center of scientific excellence in L’Aquila fostering the skills and highly specialized structures already present in the area, such as the Gran Sasso National Laboratories of the National I

nstitute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) and the University of L'Aquila, facilitating the attraction of high-level resources in the fields of natural and social sciences. The GSSI is a project supported by OECD, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. It has been instituted as a new Italian graduate school in 2016, after a three-years experimental period guided by the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) with the collaboration of top educational institutions: International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) of Trieste for the programs in Physics and Mathematics, Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna of Pisa for the program in Social Science and the Institutions Markets Technologies (IMT) of Lucca for Computer Science.

Il GSSI - Gran Sasso Science Institute vuole realizzare all’Aquila un nuovo polo di eccellenza scientifica grazie anche alla valorizzazione di competenze e strutture altamente specializzate già presenti nel territorio, come i Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso dell’Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) e l’Università dell’Aquila, e di favorire l’attrazione di risorse di alto livello nel campo delle scienze di base e dell’intermediazione tra ricerca e impresa. Il GSSI è un progetto sostenuto dall’OCSE, l’Organizzazione per la Cooperazione e lo Sviluppo Economico. È stato istituito come una Scuola Universitaria Superiore nel 2016, al termine di un triennio sperimentale guidato dall’Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) in collaborazione con prestigiosi istituti di istruzione post-universitaria quali la SISSA - Scuola Superiore di Studi Avanzati di Trieste per la Fisica e la Matematica, la Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna di Pisa per le Scienze Sociali e la Scuola IMT Alti Studi Lucca per l’Informatica.

🌀 Superfluids are famous for flowing without friction, but that perfect flow can fail when the fluid moves past an obstacle fast enough. It then begins to shed quantum vortices: tiny whirlpools governed by the rules of quantum mechanics.

A new paper by researchers at GSSI and the University of Salerno, published in Physical Review Letters, has unveiled the universal mechanism behind vortex shedding in quantum fluids.

The researchers show that the quantum case follows a fundamentally different process from the classical one. Instead of beginning gradually, the flow slows near a hidden bottleneck before suddenly releasing vortices in distinct bursts.

With Einstein Telescope, «multimessenger astronomy will evolve from being limited to extremely rare events to becoming mainstream».

Ma**ca Branchesi, Professor of Astrophysics at the GSSI, was interviewed by INFN's Particle Chronicle 👇

🌌 Einstein Telescope, il futuro osservatorio europeo di , è uno dei progetti scientifici più ambiziosi dei prossimi decenni: ci porterà indietro nel tempo e allargherà il nostro sguardo sul cosmo e sugli oggetti astrofisici che lo abitano. Ma come riuscirà a farlo? Con quali tecnologie? In che cosa sarà diverso dagli attuali interferometri e dagli altri futuri rivelatori di onde gravitazionali? Quale sarà la sua routine osservativa? Che cosa possiamo aspettarci dall’enorme, precisissima mole di dati che promette di restituirci?

Nell’ultimo numero di , la newsletter dell’INFN, abbiamo posto queste domande a Ma**ca Branchesi, professoressa al GSSI - Gran Sasso Science Institute, ricercatrice associata all’INFN, parte del comitato tecnico scientifico nominato dal Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca per la promozione della candidatura italiana a ospitare in Sardegna, e già protagonista di uno dei capitoli fondamentali della storia delle onde gravitazionali: la prima rivelazione di onde gravitazionali prodotte dalla fusione di due stelle di neutroni.

The Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Massimo Dell'Utri, visited L'Aquila today for an institutional visit to the Gran Sasso Tech Foundation and its two founding institutions, the Gran Sasso Science Institute and Thales Alenia Space.

At the end of the visit, Undersecretary Dell'Utri commented: "I am pleased to have had the opportunity to visit this centre of international and European excellence today and to explore issues that are becoming increasingly important in the international context. The collaboration between the Gran Sasso Tech Foundation, the Gran Sasso Science Institute and Thales Alenia Space has created an extraordinary platform of excellence for technological innovation in our country".
