Oral presentation
Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) with energy reaching 10²⁰ eV have been measured by large-scale hybrid detectors employing an array of ground particle detectors and air fluorescence telescopes. Recent findings from Telescope Array (TA) in Utah, USA and Pierre Auger Observatory (PAO) in Malargue, Argentina include a sudden flux decrease above ~10¹⁹‧⁷ eV possibly caused by the predicted...

Since Einstein's prediction of gravitational waves in 1916, their detection has been one of the most challenging problems in physics. With the inception and the following advances of the gravitational wave interferometers operating at exceptionally low noise levels, the first direct observation of gravitational waves may become a reality in the next few years. In my talk I describe the...

Investigation of Dark Energy remains one of the most compelling tasks for modern cosmology. It can be studied with several probes which are accessible through precise and deep surveys of the Universe. In the talk I will review the current and next generation of experiments to probe Dark Energy with emphasis on fully depleted CCD sensors with extended infrared sensitivity. I will also briefly...

The indirect evidence for dark matter in the Universe is one of the strongest indications for the existence of new physics. A promising candidate for the dark matter particle is the weakly
interacting massive particle (WIMP) which appears naturally in many models beyond the standard model. Many experiments aim at detecting interactions of WIMPs with baryonic matter in ultra-sensitive...

The TAIGA - Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic ray physics and Gamma Astronomy with hybrid detector system for gamma-ray astronomy from 10 TeV to several PeV, and cosmic rays studies from 100 TeV to 1 EeV is presented. It will search for "Pevatrons" (ultra-high energy gamma-ray sources), and measure cosmic ray composition and spectrum in the transition range from a supposed Galactic to...

The project of the coordinate-tracking setup based on the drift chambers, designed for a joint operation with Cherenkov water detector NEVOD is presented. The use of large drift chambers (4000x508x112 mm³), developed in IHEP for experiments at the neutrino channel of U-70 accelerator, will allow to create a unique large-scale detector of 270 m² area for registration of multi-particle events...
