Status and performance of the experiments
The LHCb experiment is purposed to study the properties of the beauty and charmed particles decays. In such decays the search for the physics beyond the Standard Model is performed in an indirect way, as one expects contribution from non-standard particles and forces to become visible through the branching fractions of the rare decays, CP-asymmetries and many other observables. The LHCb...

After the successful data taking year of 2011 at 7 TeV, since March of 2012 the ATLAS experiment at LHC is collecting data with colliding proton beams at the previously unparalleled centre of mass energy of 8 TeV. A challenging task was to cope with the augmented event rates due to the increased luminosity delivered by the collider and large pileup conditions. A status of the ATLAS detector is...

In ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, heavy quarks, i.e. charm and beauty, are of particular interest, since they are produced in the early stage of the reaction and coexist with the surrounding medium. Therefore the measurement of open heavy-flavour production in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC gives access to the mechanisms of heavy-quark transport and energy loss in hot and dense QCD...

Studies of charm and charmonia production provide important tests of QCD.

We present measurements of the production of J/psi, psi(2S), chi_c1 and chi_c2 as well as their cross-section ratio, and a cross-section ratio of chi_c to...

Since most probably Standard Model cannot explain large value of CP asymmetries recently observed in D-meson decays we propose the fourth quark-lepton generation explanation of it. As a byproduct weakly mixed leptons of the fourth generation enable to save the baryon number of the Universe from erasure by sphalerons.

In this presentation, rare decays of B and D mesons are discussed. Such decays are sensitive to the presence of physics beyond the Standard Model as they are mediated by loop diagrams. New physics can be probed by measuring unexpectedly high branching ratios, CP, isospin and forward backward asymmetries and other angular observables. The last results of LHCb experiment in this field are presented.

LEP3 Higgs factory
Particle loss due to the emission of single energetic beamstrahlung photons is shown to impose a fundamental limit on storage ring luminosities at energies more than 2E~140 GeV for head-on collisions and 2E~40 GeV for crab-waist collisions. Above these thresholds the suppression factor due to beamstrahlung scales as 1/E^4/3 and for a fixed power of synchrotron radiation L \propto R/E^13/3. ...

The discovery of X(125) at CERN, which looks increasingly likely to be the long-awaited Higgs boson, opens the debate of which type of machine would serve best as a Higgs factory. LEP3 is a low-cost, high-luminosity circular e+e- collider operating near the Higgs production optimal centre-of-mass energy of 240GeV. We will briefly discuss what accuracies on Higgs observables are necessary to...

In cosmic ray experiments, the particles with energies (10^15 – 10^19) eV are investigated. This interval corresponds to (1.4 – 140) TeV in the center-of-mass system, which is 10 times higher than maximum LHC energy. Many unusual results in cosmic ray experiments in this energy interval were observed, which cannot be explained in frame of existing theoretical models and approaches. For their...
