We report results of experiments performed with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M e+e- collider. They include precise measurement of the D0 and D+- meson masses, determination of the psi(3770) resonance parameters, and a search for narrow resonances in e+e- annihilation at center-of-mass energies between 1.85 and 3.1 GeV.
The work is devoted to the development of the aerogel Cherenkov counters with the light collection on wavelength shifters and PMTs (ASHIPH). The ASHIPH system has been developed for the KEDR detector. Tests of the counters have been carried out on the Dubna accelerator, the pi/K separation obtained is about 4 sigma. The ASHIPH system is suggested for the PEP-N detector.
The program of upgrade of the Spherical Neutral Detector for future experiments at a new VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider is presented. Modernization includes upgrades of electromagnetic calorimeter, tracking system, detector electronics, data acquisition system, and offline software. It is also planned to equip the detector with two new subsystems: particle identification system based on aerogel Cherenkov counters and external electron tagging system for $γγ$ physics.
