Historical notes

• San Miniato Topical Seminars started in 1984, then in 2000 were moved to Pontignano and in 2001 to Siena – there are several series: detectors, physics results and computing – IPRD13 is the 13th in a series & the 23rd overall

• The origin of kaos is in the title of a novel by Luigi Pirandello, NP (born in Caos near Girgenti), which later became a movie (1984) directed by Fratelli Taviani, who were born in San Miniato
