Elio Fabri
Elio Fabri (* 1930 in Rome ) is an Italian physicist .
Fabri went to school in Ostia and Rome and took an early interest in mathematics and science. As a teenager he was a radio hobbyist. He first studied engineering and then mathematics and physics in Rome. In 1951 he received his laureate degree from Bruno Ferretti . He worked with Bruno Touschek for a short time and then studied the spin and parity in the decay of K mesons . In doing so, he found the Dalitz diagram (sometimes also called Dalitz-Fabri diagram) independently of Richard Dalitz . In the mid-1950s, at the invitation of Marcello Conversi, he went to Pisa, where the first electronic computer for scientific purposes was created in Italy (Calcolatrice Elettronica Pisana, CEP). He also contributed to the introduction of computer science in Pisa and in general at Italian universities. From 1959 he changed his field of interest to theoretical physics (axiomatic quantum field theory, group theory and symmetries). Later he dealt with astronomy and physics didactics (especially relativity theory, higher education, physics in high schools and in teacher training, dissemination of the courses of the Physical Science Study Committee of MIT in Italy).
In 1966, together with Luigi Ettore Picasso , he discovered the Fabri-Picasso theorem , named after both of them , according to which no Noether charges exist for broken symmetry groups .
