Shortly after he took up the appointment, Amaldi led an ISS group of physicists carrying out nuclear physics experiments at the laboratory CERN in Geneva.
[7] In 2016 the foundation engaged in a proposal to construct a facility for charged particle cancer therapy for the South Eastern European countries.
[8] In the early 1970s, Amaldi co-discovered the proton-proton rising cross-section through experiments carried out at the CERN accelerator Intersecting Storage Rings.
Amaldi co-authored in 1984, with his father and mother, an updated version of a well known physics textbook in three volumes for Italian high schools.
[17] He is a Fellow of the European Physical Society, a Distinguished Affiliated Professor at Technical University of Munich,[18] member of the Accademia dei Lincei, and was awarded the inaugural Bruno Pontecorvo Prize by JINR.
