I fisici italiani hanno avuto un regalo importante: Luciano Maiani, 56 anni, fisico teorico assai conosciuto negli ambienti scientifici internazionali, attuale presidente dell'Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (Infn) è stato chiamato dai suoi colleghi europei a dirigere il centro di ricerca di Ginevra, il Cern.
Luciano Maiani, benché fisico teorico, ha sempre lavorato in stretto contatto con gli esperimenti.
Maiani ha mostrato una straordinaria apertura verso i problemi interdisciplinari e verso quelli, in Italia assai precari, della ricerca applicata di interesse industriale.

 la Repubblica/cultura_scienze: Prossimo appuntamento sotto il Gran Sasso
E' il commento di Luciano Maiani, presidente dell'Istituto nazionale di fisica nucleare e (dal primo gennaio '99) direttore generale del Cern di Ginevra.
La conferma di questa prima individuazione - ha proseguito Maiani - dovrà ora venire con l'utilizzazione di fasci di neutrini più concentrati rispetto a quelli dei raggi cosmici utilizzati per l'esperimento avvenuto in Giappone nella vecchia miniera di zinco di Kamioka, a 600 metri di profondità.
L'esperimento tra Ginevra e il Gran Sasso prevede che all'uscita della galleria del Cern dove si trova il "cannone", un rivelatore scatti una prima "fotografia" alle particelle già trasformate in neutrini.

 CERN prepares for the LHC and beyond (May 2000) - Physics World - PhysicsWeb
Maiani thinks that any neutrino factory would be built by a network of labs, and with the detectors thousands of kilometres away from the storage ring, location will not be too important.
Maiani believes that as microelectronics moves to shorter length scales, it may be possible to cope with even higher collision luminosities, thereby increasing the accessible energy range.
However, Maiani recognizes the dangers of particle physics becoming isolated from the rest of science and society, and sees it as one of his jobs to make sure that this does not happen.

On a sobering note, Michael Holland of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) argued that in order to make the case to fund a new machine particle physicists would have to demonstrate that the device was important not only to their research interests but would be important for science as a whole.
Luciano Maiani, Director General of CERN, and a speaker at the same panel, declared that he thought such a stringent criterion for federal support was "unfriendly to science," and an inhibition to what has come to be called "curiosity-driven" research.
Also several audience members felt that certain defense and space-station research ventures were not being held to the same standard of self-justification.

Along with this puzzle was the observation that while physicists had discovered four leptons—electron, muon (a heavy version of the electron), electron neutrino, and muon neutrino—they had seen only three quarks—up, down, and strange.
In 1970 Sheldon Glashow, John Iliopoulos, and Luciano Maiani proposed that if there was a fourth quark with charge +2/3, then a symmetry would forbid these "neutral current" decays.
In 1974 physicists at both Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center discovered a new meson called the J/Psi.
