Since the discovery of X-Rays by Roentgen in 1895 physicists have played a
major role in the development of medical imaging instrumentation. More
recently the technological developments in several areas of applied physics,
the new generation of particle physics detectors and the development of an
information based society all combine to enhance the performance of
presently available...

The EEE (Extreme Energy Events) Project is an experiment to study very
highenergy air showers through the detection of the muon component
using a network of tracking detectors, installed inside Italian High Schools.
The EEE project is supported by INFN, CERN, Ministero dell’Universit `a e
della Ricerca (MIUR), Centro Fermi and conceived by its leader Antonino
Zichichi. The single...

EDELWEISS is a direct dark matter search looking for Weakly Interacting
Massive Particles (WIMPs). In order to measure the low energies of nuclear
recoils coming from the scattering of WIMPs from the galactic halo,
EDELWEISS uses very sensitive Ge cryogenic detectors in a low radioactivity
environment. During its first stage, up to 3 Ge 320 g detectors have been
used simultaneously....
