·     Pasquale Fabbricatore was born in 1957 in Nocera Superiore (Italy).

 

·    He obtained his degree in Physics (cum laude) from the University of Salerno (Italy) in 1982,   discussing a thesis on  the Design and Construction of Small Scale Superconducting Magnets

             

 

·    In 1982 he joined Ansaldo Energia (Genova) in the R&D section. During this period he carried out activities related to:

 

1) Design and test of rotating coupling for LHe (s.c. alternator  project) ;

2) Design, construction and test of 0.5T whole body magnet for MRI imaging  (Responsible for engineering and construction);

3) Engineering design of a thin magnet for the ZEUS Detector of HERA at DESY, Germany (Responsible for the engineering).

 

·      In 1987 he joined the Genova Unit of the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics, (INFN), to develop superconducting devices for particle physics. Presently he is permanent staff with profile “Dirigente Tecnologo”. His main activities covered:  

              

1) Development of techniques for Ic characterization of high current cables for High Energy Physics applications;

2) Development of ac magnetic measurements for studying the electrical and magnetic properties of superconductors.

3) Design, follow-up and test of the superconducting coil for BABAR Detector at SLAC;                       

4) Design and construction follow-up of the superconducting coil for the CMS experiment at CERN;

5) Developments of fast cycled superconducting dipoles for FAIR SIS300 and future applications;                 

6) Design and test of the magnets for the delivery lines of CNAO (Center for hadron-therapy in Pavia).

7) Design and construction of a superconducting prototype module for Mu2e experiment at Fermilab

 

·                 Among his responsibilities during his stay at INFN-Genova it is worth mentioning:

 

1)  Principal  Investigator, in the frame of CEE COPERNICUS 1994, of the project Manufacturing techniques for electromagnet giving 0.5 T at 77 K made from bi-based high-Tc superconductor (1994-1998);

2)   Project Leader of the winding project of CMS Magnet (1997-2006);

3)   Member of CMS Magnet Technical Board (1994-2009);

4)   Responsible of task 11 of the project CNAO (Italian Center for Hadron-Therapy) aimed to the construction of  the magnets for the Beam Deliver Line (2005-2009);

5)  Member (Vice Chairman for two years) of the Committee for Scientific and Technical Issues and of the  Technical Advisory Committee of the facility FAIR at GSI in Darmstadt (2004-2006);

6) Member of the INFN Committee for Technological Transfer (2005-2008;                                         

7)  Local Group Leader for technological R&D (1991-1996);

8)  Member of GEV02 (group of expert for Physical Sciences) in the Evaluation of Research Quality 2004-2010

9)   Member of the Machine Advisory Committee of INFN (2012-present);

10)  Chairman of the Scientific Program Committee of MT-19 Conference (2005);

11) Co-chair of the Scientific Program Committee of EUCAS 2013 Conferences;

12) Member of the Scientific Program Committee of conferences ASC06, SATT13, MT20, MT21,ASC2010, ASC2012 and MT23;

 

·           He is author of more than 470 articles on  international journals (h-index 44); among them about 130 in the field of magnets, cryogenics and superconductivity.  He is also active in scientific spreading and teaching as Lecturer at University of Genova.  He was 17 times referee of thesis work for students graduating in physics.
