Non-accelerator particle physics is a new field of physics that studies the properties of particles without using accelerators. This area has been developing rapidly for the last 20—30 years providing a number of outstanding results, including the discovery of neutrino oscillations caused by the masses of neutrinos, which became the first experimental proof of an effect beyond the Standard Model of particles and interactions. While the results in the field have won five Nobel Prizes over the last twenty years, this area remains almost unnoticed in Ukraine, despite the fact that here several research groups conduct work on the subject and obtain the results of the highest quality.
