Labir SKA CSP local PAGE

The SKA (Square Kilometre Array) will be a revolutionary radio telescope with about one square kilometre of collecting area. The SKA is a global project in which astronomers and engineers from more than 70 institutes in 20 countries, together with industry partners, are participating in the scientific and technical design of the telescope.
The italian community is involved in SKA delopment in several fields, and at Arcetri we have a large activity in the correlator and data processing area.
In particular we work on beamforming, and in pulsar search and in Loal monitoring and control area.
The permanent members of the local group are:

• Carlo Baffa
• Giovanni Comoretto
• Elisabetta Giani.
