PADOVA GROUP Michele Doro (University and INFN Padova)

Where we are • Department of Physics and Astronomy G. Galilei of the University of Padova • This building • Building of the ex-department of physics, close to La Specola • Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nuclear (INFN) is hosted in the department buildings • INFN also have one of the largest laboratory (Laboratorio Nazionale Legnaro) in Legnaro (10 km from Padova) where many experiments are built and operated • Instituto Nazionale Astro. Fisica (INAF) also close to building of exdepartment of astronomy • Researcher can then be • University researcher, professor (teaching duties) • INFN researchers 2

Places • Dipartimento (Fisica) • Department (Astronomy) • Asiago telescope 3

Padova astrophysics group • Experiments • CLUE/AEROBICC (ended) • MAGIC • Fermi-LAT • CTA • Now we are in the process of structuring a larger group that comprises all interests: GAG (Gamma-Astroparticle-Group) • MAGIC, Fermi, CTA • INFN+INAF • Expertise from all wavelengths from ex-Department of Astronomy 4

Padova MAGIC/CTA group 5

People CTA also includes: - Denis Bastieri, Riccardo Rando, Sara Buson, Giovanni Busetto 6

Main interests • MAGIC • Mirror of the telescopes • Topological trigger • Si. PM sensors • Atmospheric calibration • Science (dark matter, AGN and distance estimations, now galactic physics with Ignasi) • CTA • Mirror • Camera for a small telescope • SIPM sensor and steering electronics • Atmospheric calibration • Science (dark matter, ALPs) 7

Outreach Our Padova group is carrying on, since 2009, an intense activity involving secondary schools students and their teachers. This project is called MAGICD. Responsible: Antonio Saggion 8
