    Productuon of dark matter mediators at fixed target experiments.
      Abstract:
    We derive the bounds on dark matter parameter space from the absence of the signal events on dark matter spin-0 and spin-2 mediators in the electron beam fixed target experiments. We also discuss the impact of atomic form-factor parametrization on the total production cross-section of the mediators. The resonant productions of mediators are discussed for the annihilation of electrons on thesecondary positrons of the electromagnetic shower. For the lepton-specific scalar mediator the thermal target curves are derived for scalar, Majorana, Dirac and vector dark matter.

    Z-scaling: status and perspectives.
      Video
      Abstract:
    The present state of the z-scaling of hadron production in high energy proton and nucleus collisions is briefly reviewed. The basic concepts of the approach such as self-similarity, locality and fractality reflecting general features of particle interactions are discussed. Some results of analysis of hadron production in pp and AA collisions obtained in the framework of z-scaling are presented. The properties of data z-presentation for systematic analysis of inclusive cross sections over a wide range of collision energies, multiplicity densities, transverse momenta, and angles of various particles are discussed. A microscopic scenario of hadron production in terms of momentum fractions of colliding objects and scattered constituent is proposed. Physical interpretation of the model parameters – structural and fragmentation fractal dimensions and “specific heat”, is given. Universality of the form of the scaling function is discussed. Fractal entropy taking into account the structure of colliding and produced objects is considered. The notion of fractal cumulativity is introduced and a new conservation law for this quantity is formulated. Non-trivial dependence of the fractal entropy on the collision energy with decreasing transverse momentum was found. The corresponding irregularity of the specific heat is associated with possible indication of phase transition in nuclear matter. Experimental verification and development of the z-scaling are discussed.

    Polarization in Reactions with Hadrons and Heavy Ions: Similarity and Distinction.
      Video
      Abstract:
    The mechanism of baryon and vector meson polarization in pp, dd and AA collisions are compared. The sources of T-odd spin effects in T-invariant theories (like QCD) and possible interplay between them are discussed. The anomalous and thermodynamical polarization mechanisms in heavy-ion collisions lead to the effects of the same order but may be distinguished provided the data for various hyperons are available. The tensor polarization, contrary to the vector one, does not require the P-odd sources and may be related to entanglement of quarks and antiquarks.

    Twisted particles: generation and potential applications in quantum physics.
      (Presentation)
      Video
      Abstract:
    A review will be given of a relatively new but rapidly developing field at the intersection of quantum and neutron optics, electron microscopy and high-energy physics -- physics of massive "twisted" particles with orbital momentum: electrons, protons, neutrons, etc. Thanks to other selection rules when interacting with particles, fields and matter, in a number of problems particles in such quantum states can be used instead of spin-polarized particles; in other problems - especially for cold neutrons - they allow new experiments in QED and nuclear physics and obtain information not available with conventional plane-wave beams. I will also discuss the possibilities of generating such particles at high energy accelerators, incl. at JINR, and prospects for their use for high energy physics.

    ATLAS and TOTEM: comments on assumed differential cross section oscillations at 13 TeV.
      (Presentation)
      Video
      Abstract:
    Questions about the possible existence of oscillations at an energy of 13 TeV are considered in detail on the basis of a general model for describing differential cross sections in wide regions of energy changes and momentum transfer, published earlier in the PDG. It is shown that, given the available experimental data, raising the question of searching for such a subtle effect is premature.

    Bacterial nano-ferrihydrite.
      (Presentation)
      Video
      Abstract:
    Magnetic nanomaterials find the widest application. Current methods for chemical synthesis of nanoparticles are energy-intensive and use toxic chemicals, limiting biomedical applications. A promising new direction in this field is the use of biological objects for the production of inorganic nanoscale particles. Ferrihydrite nanoparticles (Fe2O3 * nH2O), synthesized by Klebsiella oxytoca bacteria during biomineralization of iron salt solutions from the culture medium, exhibit unique magnetic properties: they are characterized by antiferromagnetic order inherent in bulk ferrihydrite and spontaneous magnetic moment due to spin decompensation in nanoparticle sublattices. In the reviewed article, the authors from Krasnoyarsk investigated magnetic interparticle interactions and superparamagnetic blocking of powder systems of biogenic ferrihydrite nanoparticles using magnetometry and Mössbauer spectrometry. Two powder systems of nanoparticles were studied - biogenic ferrihydrite (average size 2.7 nm) and ferrihydrite, which underwent low-temperature annealing, as a result of which the average particle size (3.8 nm) increased and the organic shell burned out.

      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.
