Ettore Fiorini

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ettore Fiorini (born April 19, 1933 in Verona ) is an Italian experimental particle physicist.

He is the son of the physician Enoch Fiorini. Fiorini is a professor at the University of Milan-Bicocca .

He was involved in neutrino experiments at the Gargamelle detector at CERN and led the Nusex experiment to discover proton decay in the Mont Blanc underground laboratory. He was looking for the neutrino-free double beta decay in the conversion of germanium-76 and was involved in the GALLEX experiment investigating solar neutrinos in the Gran Sasso underground laboratory. There he is involved in the search for the double beta decay (in tellurium decays) and dark matter .

In 2007 he received the Premio Enrico Fermi and in 2012 the Bruno Pontecorvo Prize .
