The report is dedicated to the preparation of the new experiment on the neutron radiative decay what is conducted for the last years. We started the experimental research of this neutron decay branch with the experiment conducted at ILL in…

We present a new method to measure neutrino masses using the dark matter-neutrino relative velocity. The relative motion between dark matter and neutrinos results in a parity-odd bispectrum which can be measured from cross-correlation of…

We propose to perform a continuously scanning all-sky survey from 200 keV to 80 MeV achieving a sensitivity which is better by a factor of 40 or more compared to the previous missions in this energy range. The Gamma-Ray Imaging, Polarimetry…

Spin noise spectroscopy is a method of magnetic resonance widely used, nowadays, in atomic and semiconductor research. Classical objects of the EPR spectroscopy - dielectrics with paramagnetic impurities - seemed to be unsuitable for this…

Many theories beyond the Standard Model postulate short-range modifications to gravity which produce deviations of Newton's gravitational potential from a strict $1/r$ dependence. It is common to analyze experiments searching for these…

In recent years, an energetic experimental program has set quite stringent limits on a possible "non - 1/r^2" dependence on gravity at short length scales. This effort has been largely driven by the predictions of theories based on…
