Modelling spectral and timing properties of accreting black holes: the hybrid hot flow paradigm
The general picture that emerged by the end of 1990s from a large set of
optical and X-ray, spectral and timing data was that the X-rays are produced in
the innermost hot part of the accretion flow, while the optical/infrared (OIR)
emission is mainly produced by the irradiated outer thin accretion disc. Recent
multiwavelength observations of Galactic black hole transients show that the
situation is not so simple. Fast variability in the OIR band, OIR excesses
above the thermal emission and a complicated interplay between the X-ray and
the OIR light curves imply that the OIR emitting region is much more compact.
One of the popular hypotheses is that the jet contributes to the OIR emission
and even is responsible for the bulk of the X-rays. However, this scenario is
largely ad hoc and is in contradiction with many previously established facts.
Alternatively, the hot accretion flow, known to be consistent with the X-ray
spectral and timing data, is also a viable candidate to produce the OIR
radiation. The hot-flow scenario naturally explains the power-law like OIR
spectra, fast OIR variability and its complex relation to the X-rays if the hot
flow contains non-thermal electrons (even in energetically negligible
quantities), which are required by the presence of the MeV tail in Cyg X-1. The
presence of non-thermal electrons also lowers the equilibrium electron
temperature in the hot flow model to <100 keV, making it more consistent with
observations. Here we argue that any viable model should simultaneously explain
a large set of spectral and timing data and show that the hybrid
(thermal/non-thermal) hot flow model satisfies most of the constraints.Comment: 26 pages, 13 figures. To be published in the Space Science Reviews

Study of doubly strange systems using stored antiprotons
Bound nuclear systems with two units of strangeness are still poorly known despite their importance for many strong interaction phenomena. Stored antiprotons beams in the GeV range represent an unparalleled factory for various hyperon-antihyperon pairs. Their outstanding large production probability in antiproton collisions will open the floodgates for a series of new studies of systems which contain two or even more units of strangeness at the P‾ANDA experiment at FAIR. For the first time, high resolution γ-spectroscopy of doubly strange ΛΛ-hypernuclei will be performed, thus complementing measurements of ground state decays of ΛΛ-hypernuclei at J-PARC or possible decays of particle unstable hypernuclei in heavy ion reactions. High resolution spectroscopy of multistrange Ξ−-atoms will be feasible and even the production of Ω−-atoms will be within reach. The latter might open the door to the |S|=3 world in strangeness nuclear physics, by the study of the hadronic Ω−-nucleus interaction. For the first time it will be possible to study the behavior of Ξ‾+ in nuclear systems under well controlled conditions

Measurement of the hadronic cross sections with the CMD-3 and SND detectors at the VEPP-2000 collider
Since December 2010 the CMD-3 and SND detectors detectors collect data at the VEPP-2000 electron-positron collider. In 2013-2015 the injection facility of the collider has undergone an upgrade of the injection system. The new BINP injection complex has been connected to the VEPP-2000 collider, so the restrictions connected to the lack of positrons and limited beam energy transfer do not apply any more. The collider luminosity in whole energy range is restricted now only by beam-beam effects. VEPP-2000 collider started to collect data with two detectors at 2016 year. The collected data sample since 2010 corresponds more than 100 pb-1 of integrated luminosity per detector in the c.m. energy between 0.32 and 2GeV. We will report here results of analysis of various hadronic cross sections from detectors both published and preliminary. These measurements are important by themselves and also because of the implications for anomaly of the magnetic moment of a muon (g-2) discrepancy
