[RPC2024IOC] Re: [RPC2024IAC] R: Fwd: RPC 2026 workshop

Dear Rinaldo, all, which was the first candidacy for hosting the RPC2026 conference? I did miss this. All the best, thanks a lot Marcello ------------------------- Da: santonic <santonic(a)roma2.infn.it&gt; Inviato: sabato 24 agosto 2024 12:09 A: stefano bianco <stefano.bianco(a)lnf.infn.it>; RPC2024 <rpc2024(a)igfae.usc.es>; Gabriella Pugliese <gabriella.pugliese(a)cern.ch>; rpc2024iac(a)igfae.usc.es <rpc2024iac(a)igfae.usc.es>; rpc2024ioc(a)igfae.usc.es <rpc2024ioc(a)igfae.usc.es>; rpc2024loc(a)igfae.usc.es <rpc2024loc(a)igfae.usc.es&gt; Oggetto: [RPC2024IAC] Fwd: RPC 2026 workshop Dear IAC-IOC members, as from the following mail of prof Livio Conti (University Uninettuno Rome Italy), we have now a second candidacy for hosting RPC-2026. I am happy to see this increasing interest of the particle physics scientific community for our conference. As usual we will discuss the site choice for RPC-2026 in a dedicated meeting in Santiago. Regards Rinaldo -------- Messaggio originale -------- Oggetto: RPC 2026 workshop Data: 2024-08-21 00:48 Mittente: "Conti, Livio" <livio.conti(a)uninettunouniversity.net&gt; Destinatario: santonic <santonic(a)roma2.infn.it&gt;, giuseppe.iaselli(a)ba.infn.it Cc: &quot;piergiorgio.picozza(a)roma2.infn.it&quot; <piergiorgio.picozza(a)roma2.infn.it&gt; Dear Prof. Rinaldo and Prof. Iaselli, I write to you on behalf of the "Uninettuno High-energy" research group, that I have the honour to coordinate at the Uninettuno University in Rome. I am writing to you in order to present the candidacy of our Research Group, on behalf of Uninettuno University, to host the organization of the RPC workshop in Rome in September 2026. I kindly ask you to formally submit our proposal to the International Board of the RPC workshop, also in view of the next meeting in Santiago, for a preliminary discussion and the need evaluation. Let me briefly summarize some information about Uninettuno University and our research group. The Uninettuno University headquarter is located in the centre of Rome, the building overlooks the “Largo di Torre Argentina” square, where Julius Caesar is believed dead, less than 1 km far from the Coliseum. Uninettuno also has about 40 Technological Poles all around Italy and we carry exams in more than 50 centres around the world. Uninettuno hosts 5 Faculties and enrols approximately 23.000 students, from 164 different countries. We offer more than 70 different study programs (including undergraduate, graduate, post lauream masters and PhD/doctorate courses). The “Uninettuno High-Energy” Research Group includes 2 full professors, 6 associate professors, 4 researchers, 4 PhD students, 10 graduate students and 15 undergraduate students. My Colleagues have a long tradition in development and building of particle detectors for experiments at accelerators at CERN and Tevatron, as well as for cosmic rays’ detection carried out on ground, on stratospheric balloons and on satellite. Between these detectors we have also contributed in developing several experiments based on RPC mainly conceived for muons detection. At present the physicists of our Group are members and actively participating to several collaboration such as: * satellite missions CSES-01 (in orbit since 2018) and -02 (launch scheduled by the end of 2024) for observations of particle and electromagnetic fields in near-Earth geomagnetic cavity on Low Earth Orbit. On each CSES satellite is installed a particle detector (named HEPD-01 and -02 respectively) able to measure charged particles such as Van Allen trapped particles and cosmic rays; count events generated in the calorimeters by GRB emissions; TLE and TGF phenomena; etc.; * JEM-EUSO program, which includes several pathfinder missions such as EUSO-TA at Telescope Array (Utha, US), EUSO-SPB and EUSO-SPB2 on balloon, MINI-EUSO on the International Space Station, etc. These experiments have been conceived to detect ultra-high energy cosmic rays as well as ultraviolet terrestrial emissions, TLE, TGF, etc.; * DUNE experiment at Fermilab. We just started participating in the Italian collaboration to DUNE experiment aimed at studying neutrino oscillations and CP violation. * SWGO, LAGO collaboration, muon tomography and other ground based experiments built with RPC for cosmic rays’ observation. A plus of having the RPC conference in Uninettuno could be: * to have an international meeting exactly in the centre of Rome, fully reachable by metro, busses and taxi in the stenographic contest of Roman Forum. We have a fully equipped conference room that could well fulfil all the needs of venue and logistics. The centre of Rome is full of hotels and B&B with a large range of good prices. The participants to the conference could easily find a good room with acceptable prices nearer that 100 m from the Uninettuno headquarter and conference hall. * In case the International Board would be interested, we could also provide for free to broadcast the RPC conference (or some sessions or starting/closing events) live on the Internet with the needed restrictions (if any) or even fully open (if appropriate) to colleagues by remote or interested guests. * to organize the conference in Uninettuno would take advantage of allowing a large participation of the colleagues of the numerous community of researchers from other Universities of Rome, research Institutes and Laboratories involved in RPC researches that could contribute to a large and fruitful scientific debate on the related experiments for a good success of the conference. It would be useful for Group and University to have few information about the organisation of previous RPC meetings and the needs for the planned event such as: * the mean numbers of participants that have attended to the RPC meeting in last years; * the requirements (space and network connectivity) of the meeting room where the RPC workshop could be hosted; * the range/suggested value of the fees; * the structure / sessions you can suggest for the program of the event. On the basis of the suggestion and requests of the International Board for the RPC workshop we can write a detailed proposal to be evaluated by the Board.
