    Schwinger's mechanism and vacuum photon emission.
      Abstract:
    In this talk, we will address the present status of theoretical and experimental investigations concerning the Schwinger mechanism of spontaneous electron-positron pair production from vacuum in strong electromagnetic backgrounds. This phenomenon is closely related to the vacuum emission of soft photons and also high-harmonic generation. We will discuss these effects and draw an explicit analogy between strong-field QED and atomic physics.

    Oscillations in elastic high energy amplitude.
      (Presentation)
      Video
      Abstract:
    A weak (~ 1%) oscillations observed by TOTEM in elastic pp-scattering at 13 TeV correspond to the impact parameter b ~ 6-8 fm ! Theoretically the oscillations due to interference between the multi Pomeron exchange diagrams (analogous to the diffraction on black disk) were predicted in early 1970th however now the oscillations take place at |t| smaller than the first diffractive dip. IF this oscillations will be confirmed by ATLAS (?) this will be the qualitatively new phenomena.

    Precision measurement of CP violation parameters in decays of B mesons at LHCb.
      (Presentation)
      Video
      Abstract:
    IIn the Standard Model of particle physics, CP invariance is violated in the quark sector. This effect is associated with a non-zero complex phase of the elements of the unitary quark mixing matrix. It is expected that manifestations of New Physics beyond the Standard Model are related to noticeable violations of CP symmetry. Therefore, one of the strategies for searching for such effects is based on precision measurements of mixing matrix elements (or their ratios) and testing of its unitarity. The LHCb experiment performs these studies by examining the characteristics of beauty mesons decays. The results of precision measurements of CP violation parameters φs and sin(2β) [1,2] will be discussed.

    DARIA compact neutron source project for research by neutron scattering methods
      (Presentation)
      Video
      Abstract:
    The world's leading neutron research centers are currently developing new generation neutron sources for research in the field of condensed matter physics. Compact neutron sources are designed to replace obsolete low- and medium-power reactors and open up opportunities for creating neutron scattering laboratories in scientific organizations and universities. Such a source initially yields neutron flux several orders of magnitude lower as compared to a large accelerator-type source; however, a significant part of these losses can be compensated by increasing the capture aperture and deep optimization of the instrument, including adapting the parameters of the accelerator, target and moderator to the needs of each specific installation using the source individually. We present a Russian initiative to create such a source - the DARIA project (compact neutron source Dedicated to Academic Research and Industrial Applications). The goal of the project is to develop and create first a prototype and then a network of compact neutron sources for the needs of neutron scattering.

    Recent results and plans of the NA64 experiment at the CERN SPS.
      Video
      Abstract:
    Thermal dark matter models with particle masses below the electroweak scale can provide an explanation for the observed relic dark matter density. This would imply the existence of a new feeble interaction between the dark and ordinary matter. The main purpose of the NA64 experiment is a search for sub-GeV dark matter production using the method of missing energy signature. The searches are performed at the H4 beam line at the CERN SPS. This line is mainly designed to provide 100 GeV electron beam. The analyzed statistics corresponds to $9.37\times10^{11}$ electrons on target (EOT) collected during 2016-2022 runs. The analysis of this statistics allowed us to probe for the first time the well motivated region of parameter space of benchmark thermal scalar and fermionic dark matter models. Additional statistics of about $6\times10^{11}$ was collected in the 2023 run. In addition to the main 100 GeV electron-beam measurement, NA64 is also developing a positron-beam program with several runs at different energies, to explore the ~ 100 MeV mediator mass range by exploiting LDM production via resonant $e^+e^-$ annihilation. This search is also supported by a dedicated ERC project, the "POsitron resonant annihilation intO dark mattER" (POKER) project, lead by INFN-Genova. An early test run already demonstrated the feasibility of the new technique, allowing to set competitive new limits in a limited mass region despite the much lower accumulated statistics.
        The variant of the NA64 detector for the searches of DM in the muon beam, called NA64mu, is also developed. It uses part of subdetectors of NA64e and a number of additional subdetectors. The purpose is to search for DM coupled only to second and third generations of leptons, suggested to explain the (g-2) anomaly and to improve sensitivity in the region of mediator masses above ~300 MeV. NA64 performed and plans also a number of other searches, such as the search for ALP coupled to gammas, search for X boson decaying to electrons, search of DM in the hadron beams, search for mu - tau conversion.

    Models with light particles of Dark Matter.
      Video
      Abstract:
    Traditionally, models of Dark Matter are divided according to the mechanism of particle creation into thermal and non-thermal. An example of the first is WIMPs. The second class is much richer. Using the simplest example of a scalar massive particle, we will discuss several mechanisms for the creation of Dark Matter particles. Then we'll look at some realistic models whose predictions are being tested in modern particle physics experiments.
