Born in Bologna (Italy) on May 5th, 1934.

Laurea *Cum Laude* in Physics at the University of Pisa on December 12,
1957.

Full professor in General Physics as of 1979. Currently at Fermilab on
leave of absence from the Physics Department of the University of Pisa.

Spokesperson of the Pisa Photoproduction Group at the Frascati
Electron-Synchrotron, from 1960 to 1963.

International Committee for Future Accelerators, 2003

RESEARCH

===========

experiments on antiproton interactions in nuclear emulsions
(1957-1959)(i);

experiments on meson photoproduction at the Frascati
Electron-Synchrotron (1960-1963)(ii);

experiments on elastic scattering, quasi-elastic scattering, total
cross-sections of proton, pions and K-mesons on protons, neutrons and
nuclei at the CERN PS (1964-1970)(iii), and polarized scattering of
hadrons on protons(iv);

experiments on total cross-section and correlations in particle
production(v), and on production of muon pairs in proton-proton
interactions at the CERN ISR (1970-1980)(vi);

design of the Magnetic Detector for ALA (MDA) to study meson
spectroscopy at the high intensity, 2 GeV electron-positron collider
Anello di Luminosità Alta (ALA) of the National Laboratories of
Frascati(vii); and

experiments on production and decay of Intermediate Vector Bosons,
beauty quark physics, jet physics, and search for top quark and new
particles in proton-antiproton interactions at the Fermilab Tevatron
Collider, as of 1980.

The two major results of his experiments have been the discovery of the
raising total proton-proton cross-section at the ISR in 1972, and the
evidence for, and the discovery of, the top quark at the Fermilab
Tevatron Collider in 1994 and 1995.

FOOTNOTES

==========

(i) As a member of the Rome group led by Edoardo Amaldi.

(ii) Leading a 4-person group comprised of Carlo Bemporad, Pierluigi
     Braccini, Lorenzo Foà. This group was the first one to observe the
     Primakoff effect (neutral pion

photoproduction in the nuclear electric field), and to make use of it
for measuring the lifetime of the neutral pion.

(iii) In the CERN group lead by Giuseppe Cocconi.

(iv) Leading the Pisa group in the CERN/Orsay/Pisa Collaboration whose
     Spokesperson was Luis Dick of CERN;

(v) Leading a U.S.- Italy collaboration, comprised of, among others,
    Paolo Giromini, Aldo

> Menzione and Luciano Ristori from Pisa. The Stony Brook group was led
> by Guido
>
> Finocchiaro and comprised, among others, Paul Grannis, Daniel Green
> and Robert

Kephart.

(vi) As a member of the Pisa - M.I.T. group lead by Piero Braccini and
     Samuel C.C. Ting.

(vii) The design of the full-coverage magnetic detector MDA for a new
      electron-positron

collider ALA to be built at the Frascati Laboratories was made in the
years 1976-1978, leading a Frascati/Pisa group comprising among others
Paolo Giromini, Enzo Iarocci and Paolo Laurelli. The ALA/MDA project was
approved of but not funded by INFN.
