This shift is particular ly pronounced in astrophysics and cosmic-ray physics. Compact detectors ba sed on various types of scintillators coupled with silicon photomultiplier s\, as well as lightweight silicon microstrip and pixel detectors\, are no w operating in orbit. Space companies\, together with scientists\, student s\, and even schoolchildren\, are developing concepts for constellations o f satellites carrying small scientific instruments\, which enable monitori ng of various objects — for example\, tracking gamma-ray bursts\, observ ing solar flares and energetic particles\, and solving many other problems . This review examines both flown and in-development missions\, including GRBAlpha\, VZLUSAT-2\, GRBBeta\, BurstCube\, AGILE\, NATALIA and others\, their scientific goals\, technical solutions\, and observational results. The analysis shows that small satellites have already provided the detecti on of about 360 gamma-ray transients\, low-latency response to extreme eve nts such as GRB 221009A\, and measurements of cosmic-ray flux characterist ics. The review concludes by discussing the prospects for next-generation constellations such as COMCUBE-S and argues that small satellites are tran sitioning from "technology demonstration" to "scientific contribution\," b ecoming indispensable for solving many problems of modern astronomy and as trophysics.\n\nhttps://indico.particle.mephi.ru/event/626/contributions/61 26/ LOCATION:Sevastopol Hotel URL:https://indico.particle.mephi.ru/event/626/contributions/6126/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Heavy flavor physics DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261030T120000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261030T123000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261022T072604Z UID:indico-contribution-321-6194@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: A.

We propose [1\,2] a fundamentally different mechanism in which inflation emerges from fermion condensates generated by torsion-induced four-fermion interactions in Einstein–Cartan–Holst gr avity. Starting from a purely fermionic theory\, we derive a two-condensat e effective description whose inflationary dynamics resembles hybrid infla tion but exhibits a qualitatively new exit mechanism. \nThe central result is the emergence of a density-driven waterfall transition. During inflati on\, axial charge production continuously increases the fermion density an d the associated chiral chemical potential. Solving the finite-density gap equation\, we show that above a critical axial density the condensate no longer admits a symmetry-broken solution. Inflation therefore terminates t hrough the evaporation of the condensate itself rather than through the in flaton crossing a critical field value. This mechanism naturally triggers rapid energy transfer to fermionic degrees of freedom and provides a micro scopic realization of instant preheating. \nThe post-transition condensate is unstable to fragmentation into charged non-topological solitons. These objects can subsequently collapse into primordial black holes\, generatin g a calculable relic population whose properties are determined by the sam e condensate dynamics that drives inflation [3]. Because the underlying th eory is intrinsically chiral and connected to dynamical Chern–Simons gra vity\, the scenario simultaneously predicts parity-violating signatures [4 ].\nThe framework unifies inflation\, reheating\, soliton formation\, prim ordial-black-hole production\, and parity-violating phenomenology within a single gravitationally induced fermion-condensation mechanism. It provide s a composite alternative to scalar-field inflation and identifies correla ted observational signatures that can test the role of spacetime torsion i n the early Universe.\n\nReferences\n[1] S.

The construction started in the beginning of 2026 and the commissioning is pl anned for 2031. The complex consists of two electron accelerators with max imum energies $E_e = 120$ MeV (120 MeV LINAC) and $E_e = 2.0$ GeV (200 MeV LINAC + booster synchrotron) and two storage rings operational in the ene rgy ranges $E_e \\sim 70-120$ MeV and $E_e \\sim 0.5-2.0$ GeV.

One of the most compe lling and theoretically-motivated candidates is the Weakly Interacting Mas sive Particle (WIMP)\, a hypothetical particle beyond the Standard Model w ith a mass typically ranging from a few GeV to several TeV. Direct WIMP se arches are being actively pursued through a variety of experimental approa ches\, the most promising of which employ noble-element targets\, such as argon and xenon. While xenon-based experiments presently set the most stri ngent exclusion limits over a broad WIMP mass range\, future argon detecto rs are expected to achieve comparable sensitivity while offering enhanced potential for WIMPs with masses of a few GeV\, commonly referred to as “ low-mass WIMPs”. Interest in this mass region has grown significantly in recent years as increasingly stringent constraints have challenged conven tional WIMP scenarios.\nThis contribution presents an overview of past\, c urrent and future argon-based direct-detection experiments using both sing le-phase and dual-phase technologies. The main features and results of pre vious-generation detectors\, such as DarkSide-50\, are reviewed\, followed by a discussion of ongoing efforts\, including DEAP-3600 at SNOLAB (Canad a) and DarkSide-20k at LNGS (Italy). Particular emphasis is placed on Dark Side-20k\, which combines a multi-ton liquid-argon target with underground argon depleted in 39Ar and a novel photodetection system based on cryogen ic silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs). Finally\, the prospects for the next- generation Argo experiment are presented.\n\nhttps://indico.particle.mephi .ru/event/626/contributions/6125/ LOCATION:Sevastopol hotel Conference Hall 2 URL:https://indico.particle.mephi.ru/event/626/contributions/6125/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Searching for New Physics in fixed-targe experiments DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261027T120000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261027T123000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261022T072604Z UID:indico-contribution-321-5986@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Sergey Slabospitsky ()\nThe main directions of searc hing for New Physics in fixed-target\nexperiments with the proton beam en ergy up to 1000 GeV are\ndiscussed.\n\nhttps://indico.particle.mephi.ru/ev ent/626/contributions/5986/ LOCATION:Sevastopol hotel Conference Hall 2 URL:https://indico.particle.mephi.ru/event/626/contributions/5986/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Status and perspectives of the MPD experiment at NICA DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261027T083000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261027T090000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261022T072604Z UID:indico-contribution-321-5987@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Arkadiy Taranenko ()\nThe Multi-Purpose Detector (MP D) is one of the three experiments of the Nuclotron Ion Collider-fAcility (NICA) complex\,\nwhich is currently under construction at the Joint Insti tute for Nuclear Research in Dubna. With collisions of heavy ions\nin the collider and fixed target modes\, the MPD will cover the energy range of 2 .5-11 GeV to scan the high baryon-density region\nof the QCD phase diagram . With an expected statistics of 50-100 million events collected during th e first run\, the MPD will be able\nto study a number of observables\, in cluding measurements of light hadrons and hypernuclei production\, particl e flow\, correlations\nand fluctuations. In this report\, we will review t he status of the MPD experiment and its physics program\,\nwith a focus on the first expected measurements to be performed.\n\nhttps://indico.partic le.mephi.ru/event/626/contributions/5987/ LOCATION:Sevastopol Hotel Conference Hall 2 URL:https://indico.particle.mephi.ru/event/626/contributions/5987/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:The BM@N experiment at NICA: status\, upgrades\, and recent physic al results DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261027T090000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261027T093000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261022T072604Z UID:indico-contribution-321-5988@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Vadim Kolesnikov (JINR)\nThe main goal of the NICA p hysics program is to study the QCD phase diagram in the poorly explored re gion of high net-baryon density. The BM@N experiment at NICA is well-suite d for measuring a variety of hadron species in high-multiplicity nucleus-n ucleus collisions. To bridge the gap between measurements at low energies at SIS-18 and higher energies at AGS\, BM@N has performed an energy and sy stem-size scan using Ar and Xe projectiles at beam kinetic energies rangin g from 1.6 to 3.8 GeV per nucleon. The study of hadron and light nuclei pr oduction in intermediate-mass systems plays a crucial role in revealing th e reaction dynamics and the nuclear matter Equation of State (EoS) at dens ities 2–4 times higher than normal nuclear density.\n \nThis report firs t overviews the current status and recent upgrades of the BM@N setup. The main part discusses recent results on charged pion\, kaon\, proton\, and l ight nuclei production in centrality-selected Ar+A (A=C\, Al\, Cu\, Sc\, P b) and Xe+CsI collisions. Particle spectra\, yields\, and ratios are prese nted and compared with transport model predictions incorporating different EoS implementations.\n\nhttps://indico.particle.mephi.ru/event/626/contri butions/5988/ LOCATION:Sevastopol Hotel Conference Hall 2 URL:https://indico.particle.mephi.ru/event/626/contributions/5988/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:General sponsor presentation - Azimut photonics DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261027T103000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261027T104500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261022T072604Z UID:indico-contribution-321-6198@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Vyacheslav Timoshin ()\nTBA\n\nhttps://indico.partic le.mephi.ru/event/626/contributions/6198/ LOCATION:Sevastopol Hotel Conference Hall 2 URL:https://indico.particle.mephi.ru/event/626/contributions/6198/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Study of rotating quark-gluon plasma within lattice simulation DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261027T100000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261027T103000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261022T072604Z UID:indico-contribution-321-5992@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Victor Braguta (JINR)\nQuark-gluon plasma created in heavy-ion collision experiments is subjected to rapid rotation which migh t modify QCD properties.

The SPD is intended to study the spin stru cture of the proton and deuteron and other spin-related phenomena using a unique possibility to operate with polarized proton and deuteron beams at a collision energy up to 27 GeV and a luminosity up to $10^{32}$ cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$. As the primary goal\, the experiment aims to provide access to the gluon TMD PDFs in the proton and deuteron\, as well as the gluon trans versity distribution and tensor PDFs in the deuteron\, via the measurement s of specific single and double spin asymmetries using different complemen tary probes such as charmonia\, open charm\, and prompt photon production processes. Other polarized and unpolarized physics is possible\, especiall y at the first stage of NICA operation with reduced luminosity and collisi on energy of the proton and ion beams. The physics program of the SPD and the design of the SPD setup will be presented.\n\nhttps://indico.particle. mephi.ru/event/626/contributions/5990/ LOCATION:Sevastopol Hotel Conference Hall 2 URL:https://indico.particle.mephi.ru/event/626/contributions/5990/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
