  Green light for the neutrino beam from Cern to Gran Sasso
The Cngs beam and the experimental devices constructed in the Gran Sasso Laboratories to study neutrino interactions are part of a project aimed at shedding light on the mysterious phenomenon of the oscillation of these particles.
Experiments at the Gran Sasso Laboratories, which use the neutrino beam from Cern, will be able to demonstrate in particular the transformation of muon neutrinos into tau neutrinos, a phenomenon never so far observed.
The experiments are located at the Gran Sasso Laboratories where they are sheltered by 1.440 metres of rock, a very powerful screen against the cosmic rays produced in the atmosphere by primary cosmic radiation.

  Climbing in Gran Sasso, Central Italy
Gran Sasso concentrates in a couple km² all the mountain activities.
The origin of the name "Gran Sasso" is obvious (if you speak Italian) from Prati di Tivo, village at the foot of Corno Piccolo.

  DolceVita Travel: Gran Sasso
At 2912 meters the summit of the Corno Grande is the highest of the Gran Sasso massif and the most elevated mountain in the Apennines, the long mountain chain that runs along the spine of Italy.
The Gran Sasso stands out as one of the most impressive massifs in Italy - enough to impress Leonardo da Vinci, who in 1501 made what is believed to be an extraordinary design of the chain.
Many of the spectacular mountain ranges near the Gran Sasso, in fact throughout much of the Abruzzo region are today protected in national and natural parks.

  Science Fair Projects - Gran Sasso
Gran Sasso (Italian for great stone), a massif located in the Abruzzo region of central Italy, is the highest of the Apennines and the centerpiece of a national park (established 1991).
In the early 1980s two major tunnels, 10 km in length, were bored through Gran Sasso in order to construct a four-lane highway connecting L'Aquila with Teramo.
A side project was the construction of an underground physics laboratory, the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, along the westbound highway tunnel.

Come una gigantesca lastra fotografica, il rivelatore Opera catturerà le immagini dei prodotti dell'oscillazione dei neutrini muonici in tauonici: appena una quindicina di immagini (i fisici non ne aspettano di più, sui miliardi di neutrini in arrivo al Gran Sasso), ma sufficienti per aprire un nuovo capitolo della fisica contemporanea.
A riceverli sono i rivelatori dei due grandi esperimenti del Gran Sasso, chiamati Opera (già attivo in questi giorni) e Icarus, che entrerà in funzione successivamente.

 From Under Gran Sasso Mountain, Universe Seems Older Than Expected
The Gran Sasso Laboratories are on the contrary located under 1,400 meters of rocks, which constitute an impenetrable barrier for almost all the particles coming from Space.
Luna's results offer also another information: neutrinos provided with high energy produced by carbon­nitrogen­oxygen cycle are the half part of what expected, because this last one is responsible of only the 0.8% of the energy emitted by the Sun (and not the 1.6%, as believed).
This data is of great interest for astroparticles physicists engaged in experiments that are specifically focused on neutrinos of relatively high energy, as it is for example the experiment Borexino, which is in preparation at Gran Sasso National Laboratories, or the Japanese Kamland.

This decision is a sign that the competent authorities recognize the importance of the research being done at the Gran Sasso Laboratories and on the CERN Neutrinos to Gran Sasso (CNGS) programme in particular.
Subsequently, as the release of information by the regional government cast serious doubts on the water-tightness of the Gran Sasso Laboratories' drainage system, INFN took the precautionary measure of suspending all activities requiring the handling of any kind of fluid throughout the underground laboratories on 5 June 2003.
These measures are fundamental to ensure that all of Gran Sasso's activities can begin again in an atmosphere of complete trust between the scientists and the local population.

ampo Imperatore is a plateau at the average height of 1800 meters above sea level, in the heart of the Gran Sasso, offers an extremely valuable patrimony of fauna and vegetation.
