Il premio Nobel Glashow, che ha collaborato con Maiani (chi e' del settore mi ha spiegato che Maiani è corresponsabile della teoria
GIM (Glashow-Iliopoulos-Maiani) che propone un'estensione del classico modello a quark per correggere certe anomalie incontrate nella teoria elettrodebole -praticamente introduce il quark C, Charm poi osservato sperimentalmente), tirato in ballo, si in_ca_zza e replica a dovere:

> Dear Sir:
> I have been shown the contents of a slanderous letter written to you
> by S.ra Gabriella Carlucci, MP and dated February 7, 2008.
>
> This letter was published in Puglia-Live and has been widely
> disseminated.
>
> It falsely claims that I have questioned the scientific competence of
> Prof. Luciano Maiani, the recently elected President of the CNR, and
> had opposed his appointment at CERN.
>
> These utterly invidious and untrue allegations were part of a more
> general attempt to belittle the scientific standing of Prof. Maiani.
> The letter denigrates his scientific accomplishments over the years
> and those of his colleagues, Profs. Cabibbo, Parisi and Petronzio,
> whose work was claimed to have caused serious damage to the image of
> Italian physics worldwide. Not so!
>
> The remarks that S.ra. Carlucci attributes to me are wholly untrue and
> malicious.
> Prof. Maiani played a key role in our collaboration decades ago, for
> which he was duly recognized internationally by the awards of the
> highly regarded Dirac Medal and Sakurai Prize. Maiani's many research
> publications have been cited well over 8000 times (not including the
> 3600 citations to our joint work).
>
> I have never written, suggested or thought anything remotely
> disparaging about the skill and accomplishments of this stellar
> Italian scientist.
> The more general arguments in S.ra. Carlucci's letter are equally
> false, slanderous and malicious.
> I, and my colleagues worldwide, have the highest regard for the many
> outstanding contributions of Italian theorists to particle physics,
> among whom Profs. Cabibbo, Petronzio and Parisi (as well as Maiani)
> are leading luminaries and indeed may be regarded as' 'heirs to
Fermi.'
>
> No event associated with their distinguished scientific careers has
> ever caused the slightest damage to the image of Italian physics.
> In the eyes of a foreign scholar, if there is anything that can damage
> the image of your country's scientific institutions, it is the
> vulgarity and deception of this slanderous attempt at denigration of
> some of your nation's most distinguished scientists.

> Sincerely,
> Sheldon L. Glashow
