How to observe the vacuum decay in low-energy collisions of heavy ions.
Abstract:
It is known that in slow collisions of two bare nuclei with the total charge number larger than the critical value, Z_1+Z_2 > Z_c =173,
the initially neutral vacuum can spontaneously decay into the charged vacuum and two positrons. Detection of the spontaneous emission of positrons would
be the direct evidence of this fundamental phenomenon. However, the spontaneous positron emission is generally masked
by the dynamical positron emission, which is induced by a rapidly changing electric field created by the colliding nuclei.
For many years it was believed that the vacuum decay can be observed only in collisions with nuclear sticking,
when the nuclei are bound for some period of time due to nuclear forces.
But to date there is no evidence for the nuclear sticking in such heavy-ion collisions.
In our recent papers [I.A. Maltsev et al., PRL, 2019; R.V. Popov et al., PRD, 2020],
it was shown that the vacuum decay can be observed without any sticking of the nuclei.
This can be done via measurements of the pair-production probabilities or the positron spectra for a given set of nuclear trajectories.
The results of this study will be presented in the talk. In addition, some other interesting problems appearing in quantum electrodynamics at strong-coupling regime will be discussed.

Neutrino physics in the experiment KM3NeT/ORCA.
Video
Abstract:
The underwater neutrino telescope ORCA, part of the European Neutrino Observatory KM3NeT, is located in the Mediterranean Sea.
Due to the high density of digital optical modules, ORCA is sensitive to atmospheric neutrino oscillations.
Detector deployment continues. The main purpose of the experimental campaign is to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy.

Unraveling The Many Facets of Non-Equilibrium Fission Dynamics: A Real-Time Quantum Approach.
Video
Abstract:
When comparing nuclear fission at the venerable age of almost 84 years old with other quantum many-body systems
(superconductivity, superfluidity, quantum Hall effect, fractional quantum Hall effect, magnetism, etc.)
it is surprising to find out how little is known and microscopically justified for this complex quantum non-equilibrium process.
In the last decade a significant advancenment was achieved in modeling and disentangling aspects of fission, by means of a pure quantum approach.
The level of agreement with observations, without the resort to any unverified theoretical assumptions,
uncontrolled numerical approximations, or phenomenology and incorporating only the basic input needed
to reproduce most of the well-known properties of nuclei, is surprisingly good.
The theoretical framework requires only eight input parameters at most: the nuclear saturation density and energy,
surface tension, the symmetry energy and its density dependence to a lesser degree, proton charge,
the spin-orbit and the nuclear pairing interaction strengths.
Some of our foremost theoretical findings are:
i) the strongly damped character of the large amplitude collective motion beyond the outer saddle-point,
ii) the fission fragment excitation energies and its sharing mechanism, and the somewhat surprising
excitation energy exchange mechanism between the fission fragments before the fission fragments are fully accelerated,
iii) the intrinsic fission fragment spins and their unexpected correlation character,
iv) the nature and the properties of the non-equilibrium neutrons emitted before the fission fragments are fully accelerated,
v) the strongly damped character of the fission fragment shape evolution after they are spatially separated,
vi) the total kinetic energy of the fission fragments,
vii) and the evolution of these properties with the initial excitation energy of the compound nucleus.

The Bell inequalities and violation of them.
(Presentation)
Video
Abstract:
The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for the experimental
measurement of Bell's inequalities's violation.
This story started in the 1920's from the discussion between A. Einstein
and N. Bohr about the possibility
of reducing the quantum paradigm to the classical one. These discussion
were transferred to the experimental
area in 1964 by J. Bell using some inequality. The violation of this
inequality leads to Niels Bohr's win
in this discussion. The first experimental results appeared in 1972. Up
to the the present time the verification of the Bell inequalities violation continues.

The results of the study of KNO scaling in proton-proton interactions are presented at the centre-of-mass energies
from 0.9 to 13 TeV based on the ATLAS results at the LHC. A comparison with similar results of other experiments at the LHC is given.

(Abstract - The nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium in stars occurs, in addition to the proton-proton (pp-) chain,
which includes only hydrogen and helium isotopes, through the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) cycle, in which
fusion is catalyzed by C, N and O nuclei. The CNO cycle produces only 1% of all solar energy and is secondary
to the Sun. However, for more massive and hotter stars, this cycle is decisive. In 2020-22 the Borexino collaboration,
which involves scientists from Russian institutes, for the first time presented the results of detection of neutrinos
emitted in the reactions of the CNO cycle on the Sun.)

Deepwater neutrino telescope Baikal-GVD: the motivation of the experiment, the status of the detector and the latest results.

(Abstract - Neutrino propagates at large distances in space without trajectory bending or absorption
and thus can provide information about remote sources of high-energy particles. In 2015 a deployment of the 1 km3 -scale neutrino telescope,
Baikal-GVD, started in Lake Baikal. The experiment is focused on studies of the neutrino flux in the energy range between ~100 GeV and tens of PeV.
Presently an instrumented volume of the detector is more than 0.4 km3 thus being the largest telescope of this kind in the North Hemisphere.
In this talk we discuss the motivation of the experiment, status of the detector and the latest results.)

HEPD_Seminar_Gavrilov_G.E._17.01.2023.mp4 - Video of G.E. Gavrilov's speech.
(Abstract - Over the years of operation the multiwire proportional chambers in the CMS and
LHCb experiments at the LHC have shown that the only sign of their aging processes
is the appearance of spontaneous self-sustaining currents. Long-term studies have shown
that the source of these currents is the formation of unique low threshold emission nanocarbon structures.
The nature of occurrence such formations gave a hint for development of the effective methods for emission current suppression,
that today have been successfully tested on practice.)
