A solid observational characterization of cluster regions around the virial radius would allow us to improve considerably our understanding of the physics of galaxy clusters as a whole: sadly current and planned experiments will not allow us to study these regions. Unbeknownst to most but not all, the development of an experiment sensitive to cluster outer regions could be achieved with currently available technology, with no need for breakthroughs. Amongst the major factors that will decide whether and when such an experiment will be flown are the awareness of the cluster community of the importance of such a mission and its determination in supporting it.

DM-Ice is a program towards the first direct detection search for dark matter in the Southern Hemisphere with a 250 kg-scale NaI(Tl) crystal array. It will provide a definitive understanding of the modulation signal reported by DAMA by running an arr
ay at both Northern and Southern Hemisphere sites. A 17 kg predecessor, DM-Ice17, was deployed in December 2010 at a depth of 2457 m under the ice at the geographic South Pole and has concluded its 3.5 yr data run. An active R&D program is underway to investigate detectors with lower backgrounds and improved readout electronics; two crystals with 37 kg combined mass are currently operating at the Boulby Underground Laboratory. We report on the final analyses of the DM-Ice17 data and describe progress towards a 250 kg DM-Ice experiment.
Primordial gravitational waves (GWs) are said to be a smoking gun in cosmic inflation, while, even if they are detected, the specification of their origins are still required for establishing a true inflationary model. Testing non-Gaussianity in the
tensor-mode anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is one of the most powerful ways to identify sources of GW signals. In this paper, we review studies searching for tensor non-Gaussianities employing the CMB bispectrum and forecast future developments. No significant signal has so far been found from temperature and E-mode polarization data, while orders-of-magnitude improvements in detection limits can be achieved by adding the information of B-mode polarization. There is already an established methodology for bispectrum estimation, which encourages a follow-up investigation with next-decadal CMB B-mode surveys.
SNO+ is a large liquid scintillator-based experiment located 2km underground at SNOLAB, Sudbury, Canada. It reuses the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory detector, consisting of a 12m diameter acrylic vessel which will be filled with about 780 tonnes of ul
tra-pure liquid scintillator. Designed as a multipurpose neutrino experiment, the primary goal of SNO+ is a search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay (0$ ubetabeta$) of 130Te. In Phase I, the detector will be loaded with 0.3% natural tellurium, corresponding to nearly 800 kg of 130Te, with an expected effective Majorana neutrino mass sensitivity in the region of 55-133 meV, just above the inverted mass hierarchy. Recently, the possibility of deploying up to ten times more natural tellurium has been investigated, which would enable SNO+ to achieve sensitivity deep into the parameter space for the inverted neutrino mass hierarchy in the future. Additionally, SNO+ aims to measure reactor antineutrino oscillations, low-energy solar neutrinos, and geoneutrinos, to be sensitive to supernova neutrinos, and to search for exotic physics. A first phase with the detector filled with water will begin soon, with the scintillator phase expected to start after a few months of water data taking. The 0$ ubetabeta$ Phase I is foreseen for 2017.
LXeGRIT is the first prototype of a novel concept of Compton telescope, based on the complete 3-dimensional reconstruction of the sequence of interactions of individual gamma rays in one position sensitive detector. This balloon-borne telescope consi
sts of an unshielded time projection chamber with an active volume of 400 cm$^2 times 7$ cm filled with high purity liquid xenon. Four VUV PMTs detect the fast xenon scintillation light signal, providing the event trigger. 124 wires and 4 anodes detect the ionization signals, providing the event spatial coordinates and total energy. In the period 1999 -- 2001, LXeGRIT has been extensively tested both in the laboratory and at balloon altitude, and its response in the MeV region has been thoroughly characterized. Here we summarize some of the results on pre-flight calibration, event reconstruction techniques, and performance during a 27 hour balloon flight on October 4 -- 5. We further present briefly the on-going efforts directed to improve the performance of this prototype towards the requirements for a base module of a next-generation Compton telescope.
Here we present the latest results of the charged Lepton Flavor Violation process searches at the BESIII experiment in the decay of $J/psi$ to $emu$, using $(225.3pm2.8)times10^6$ $J/psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collid
er. An upper limit on the branching fraction of $B(J/psi rightarrow emu)<1.6times10^{-7}$ (90$%$ C.L.) is obtained. The prospects and challenges with the future data are also discussed based on MC simulation.
