high-power laser technician Frascati National Laboratories INFN
Martina Del Giorno is a high-power laser technician at the Frascati National Laboratories of the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN). Since 2020, she has been working in the Accelerator Division of the Frascati National Laboratories, collaborating with the SPARC_LAB research group. She is responsible for the operation and optimization of high-power laser systems for plasma acceleration experiments within the SPARC and FLAME facilities, contributing to the European projects EuPRAXIA, included in the ESFRI Roadmap, and PACRI (Plasma Accelerator systems for Compact Research Infrastructures). The latter promotes the development of innovative research infrastructures with applications across a wide range of fields, from materials science and structural biology to medical imaging. Passionate about science communication, she enjoys explaining how physics and the technologies developed in major research laboratories can drive innovation and help address the challenges of contemporary society.

Particle accelerators are complex and costly machines that collide particles at speeds close to that of light to explore the Universe. Yet their size and cost pose a challenge: can they become more compact and affordable? What will future accelerators look like? The answer may lie in plasma accelerators. The PACRI project aims to develop innovative technologies for future plasma-based accelerators. A journey through physics, technology and research to discover the tools that will make the invisible visible.
