    On 9 February 1959 it was announced that the 1 GeV energy was reached by the Frascati synchrotron. This great achievement, considering the Italy of the post-war period, started the Frascati history on particle physics experiments and on development of particle accelerators and detectors. The synchrotron team then developed the accelerator concept by building the first electron and positrons...

    Various measurements of photoproduction in lepton-nucleon interactions are presented, along with their theoretical interpretations. These include spin-independent measurements of inclusive charm and beauty production, isolated photons and jets as well as exclusively produced hadrons. Results of hadron photoproduction in data taken with polarised leptons and nucleons are shown also.

    Rare and radiative b-hadron decays are sensitive probes of New Physics through the study of branching fractions, angular observables, CP asymmetries and measurements of the polarisation of the photon emitted in the decay.
    The LHCb experiment is ideally suited for the analysis of these decays due to its high trigger efficiency, as well as excellent tracking and particle identification...

    The muon anomalous magnetic moment, $a_\mu=\frac{g-2}{2}$, is a low energy observable that can be both measured and computed with high precision. Therefore it provides an important test of the Standard Model (SM) and it is a sensitive probe for new physics. In particular, any deviation from the Standard Model theoretical value can be due to Beyond Standard Model Physics contribution, such as...

    The project of the Super C-Tau factory (SCTF) is under development now at BINP in Novosibirsk. This electron-positron collider is intended for experiments in the energy range from 2 to 6 GeV with a luminosity of $10^{35}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$. The high luminosity will provide a wide physical program that includes many fundamental issues like a study of mixing in the D meson system, search for...

    Using Compton scattering of 0.5 \mum laser photons on existing 17.5 GeV (spent) electron beams from European XFEL one can obtain a gamma-gamma collider with W<12 GeV . This energy region is not covered by Super-B collider or LHC (the later due QCD backgrounds). Such a collider will be a nice place for application of modern technologies: powerful lasers, optical cavities, SC linacs and...

    On the wake of the results obtained so far at the SPARC_LAB test-facility at LNF, we are currently investigating the possibility to design and build a new multi-disciplinary user-facility, equipped with a soft X-ray Free Electron Laser (FEL) driven by a ~1 GeV high brightness linac based on plasma accelerator modules. EuPRAXIA@SPARC_LAB is conceived as an innovative and evolutionary tool for...

    I discuss the possibilities for using the LHC as a photon colliding
    machine. The photon parton
    density is quite precisely known and I consider the
    implications for the LHC phenomenology. In addition, the colour singlet
    nature of the photon means that it can readily lead to exclusive or
    semi-exclusive events, with limited or no extra particle production in
    the final state. I will show...

    Understanding the properties of nuclear matter and its emergence through the underlying partonic structure and dynamics of quarks and gluons requires a new experimental facility in hadronic physics known as the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The EIC will address some of the most profound questions concerning the emergence of nuclear properties by precisely imaging gluons and quarks inside...

    We discuss recent highlights in SM photon physics at the LHC, new opportunities at its forthcoming high-luminosity runs, and perspectives for its possible high-energy upgrade and a future electron-ion collider (EIC). Particular emphasis is put on the role of photoproduction processes in understanding the nuclear structure and interactions at high energies and on searches for photon-like...

    Since 2010 two detectors, CMD-3 and SND, have been collecting statistics at the electron-positron collider VEPP-2000. The collected integrated luminosity is about 200 pb$^{-1}$ for each detector in the wide c.m. energy range from 0.32 up to 2 GeV. The current status of analysis as well as recent results are reported. Special attention is paid to the studies of e^+e^- \to \pi^+\pi^-,...
