| definition |
- The members of the Department are organized into different divisions, on the basis of their scientific interests. The research is performed mostly in the framework of international collaborations, on large scales. There are both installations on university scales and devices operating in the Department. Valuable support comes from research to graduate students and research fellows. Small-group research environments are equally supported by the Department as larger groups; Both can provide occasions for technological advances and generating new ideas.
The Main Characteristics of the Department are: a balance between research in basic physics, applied physics and technological applications; a commitment to education in physics, and the diffusion of scientific culture in the community. In a recent evaluation of the quality of the Research Carried Out During a three years period in Italian universities, by means-of international peer review, the Department has-been rated very close to the top level.
