The cross section of the $e^+e^-\toωπ^0\toπ^0π^0γ$ reaction was measured by the SND detector at VEPP-2M $e^+e^-$ collider in the energy range from threshold up to 1.4 GeV. Results of the cross section fitting by the sum of $ρ$, $ρ^{\prime}$ and $ρ^{\prime\prime}$ contributions are presented.
In the SND experiment at VEPP-2M $e^+e^-$ collider the $ϕ(1020)\toπ^0π^0γ$ decay was studied and its branching ratio was measured: $B(ϕ\toπ^0π^0γ)=(1.221\pm 0.098\pm0.061)\cdot10^{-4}$. It was shown, that $f_0(980)γ$ intermediate state dominates in this decay and the $f_0(980)$-meson parameters were obtained.
Rare radiative decay $ϕ\toηπ^0γ$ was studied with SND detector at {VEPP-2M} electron-positron collider and its branching ratio was measured: $B(ϕ\toηπ^0γ)=(0.88\pm0.14\pm0.09)\cdot 10^{-4}$. Significant contribution of the $a_0(980)γ$ intermediate state was observed in the decay. The result is based on total integrated luminosity corresponding to $2\cdot10^7$ produced $ϕ$ mesons.

In the experiment with the SND detector at VEPP-2M e^+e^- collider the process $e^+e^-\toπ^+π^-π^0$ was studied in the energy range 2E_0 from 1.04 to 1.38 GeV. A broad peak was observed with the visible mass $M_{vis}=1220\pm 20$ MeV and cross section in the maximum $σ_0\simeq 4$ nb. The peak can be interpreted as a $ω$-like resonance $ω(1200)$.
The Spherical Neutral Detector (SND) operates at VEPP-2M collider in Novosibirsk studying e^+e^- annihilation in the energy range up to 1.4 GeV. Detector consists of a fine granulated spherical scintillation calorimeter with 1632 NaI(Tl) crystals, two cylindrical drift chambers with 10 layers of sense wires, and a muon system made of streamer tubes and plastic scintillation counters. The detector design, performance, data acquisition and processing are described.
Results of the SND experiment at the VEPP-2M e+ e- collider on the QED processes e+ e- --> e+ e- gamma and e+ e- --> e+ e- gamma gamma with production at large angles are presented.

SND (Spherical Neutral Detector) is a general purpose nonmagnetic detector, successfully operating at Novosibirsk VEPP-2M collider during last four years in the center of mass energy range from 400 MeV up to 1400 MeV. Its crucial part is a 3-layer, fine grained, spherical NaI(Tl) electromagnetic calorimeter consisted of 1632 individual counters. Here we present a detailed description of the calorimeter and its performance, including such topics as calorimeter design, electronics, calibration, energy and spatial resolutions, particle identification. The calorimeter performance is illustrated by examples from the current studies of different physical processes.
The search for CP-violating K_S\to3π^0 decay was performed with SND detector at VEPP-2M e^+e^- collider. The total amount of data corresponding to 7 million produced K_S mesons was analyzed.

The reaction e^+e^- ---> OMEGA+PI0 ---> PI+PI- 2PI0 has been studied with SND detector at VEPP-2M e^+e^- collider in the vicinity of the PHI(1020) meson resonance. The observed interference pattern in the energy dependence of the cross section is consistent with existence of the decay PHI ---> OMEGA+PI0 with a branching ratio of B(PHI ---> OMEGA+PI0)=(4.8+1.9-1.7+-0.8)x10^{-5}. The real and imaginary parts of the decay amplitude were measured. The PHI ---> OMEGA+PI0 decay was observed for the first time.

It was shown, that the F0(980)GAMMA mechanism dominates in this decay and the 4-quark model of F0(980) describes our data most consistently.
