First results of the MAGNEX large-acceptance spectrometer F.Cappuzzello LEA COLLIGA October 13-15, LNS (Catania) Se si desidera sviluppare più argomenti di discussione, utilizzare più diapositive. Determinare se la propensione degli spettatori consiste nel comprendere un argomento nuovo, apprendere una procedura o approfondire un concetto noto. Sostenere ogni punto con spiegazioni adeguate. Completare la spiegazione con dati tecnici di supporto su stampa oppure su disco, posta elettronica o Internet. Sviluppare ogni punto in modo adeguato per favorire la comunicazione con gli spettatori.

È possibile che l'argomento trattato sia complesso e ricco di dettagli che ne appesantiscono l'esposizione. Per presentare in modo efficace argomenti di questo tipo, seguire le indicazioni fornite da questo modello della Dale Carnegie Training®.   Considerare la quantità di tempo a disposizione e organizzare il materiale di conseguenza. Circoscrivere l’argomento da esporre. Suddividere la presentazione in sezioni specifiche. Seguire un ordine logico. Incentrare la spiegazione sull'argomento principale. Chiudere la presentazione con un riepilogo, la ripetizione dei punti chiave o una conclusione logica. Mantenere sempre l’attenzione rivolta agli spettatori, accertandosi che i dati siano chiari e le informazioni rilevanti. Mantenere un livello di argomentazione e terminologia appropriato per gli spettatori. Utilizzare supporti visivi per illustrare i punti chiave. Dimostrare interesse per gli spettatori per conquistarne l’attenzione.

Conclusions MAGNEX has successfully started its experimental program (first experiment December 2007). Other two experiments already performed 13C(18O, 16,15O)15,16C on January 2008 and 28Si(7Li,7Be)28Al on July 2008. A new experiment is scheduled next month. The results coming out from data analysis are very encouraging
