Measurement of the $e^+e^- \to K^+K^-π^+π^-$ cross section with the CMD-3 detector at the VEPP-2000 collider

The process $e^+e^- \to K^+K^-π^+π^-$ has been studied in the center-of-mass energy range from 1500 to 2000\,MeV using a data sample of 23 pb$^{-1}$ collected with the CMD-3 detector at the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider. Using about 24000 selected events, the $e^+e^- \to K^+K^-π^+π^-$ cross section has been measured with a systematic uncertainty decreasing from 11.7\% at 1500-1600\,MeV to 6.1\% above 1800\,MeV. A preliminary study of $K^+K^-π^+π^-$ production dynamics has been performed.

On a search for the $η\rightarrow e^+ e^-$ decay at the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider

A sensitivity of the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider in a search for the rare decay $η\rightarrow e^+ e^-$ has been studied. The inverse reaction $e^+ e^- \rightarrow η$ is proposed for this search. We have analyzed a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 108 nb$^{-1}$ collected with the SND detector in the center-of-mass energy range 520-580 MeV and found no background events for the reaction $e^+ e^- \rightarrow η$ in the decay mode $η\toπ^0π^0π^0$. In the absence of background, a sensitivity to ${\cal B}(η\rightarrow e^+ e^-)$ of $10^{-6}$ can be reached during two weeks of VEPP-2000 operation. Such a sensitivity is better than the current upper limit on ${\cal B}(η\rightarrow e^+ e^-)$ by a factor of 2.3.

Search for the $η^{\prime}\to e^+e^-$ decay with the SND detector

A search for the process $e^+e^- \to η^\prime$ has been performed with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider. The data were accumulated at the center-of-mass energy of $957.78\pm 0.06$ MeV with an integrated luminosity of about 2.9 pb$^{-1}$. For reconstruction of the $η^\prime$ meson five decay chains have been used: $η^{\prime}\toηπ^+π^-$ followed by the $η$ decays to $γγ$ and $3π^0 $, and $η^{\prime} \to ηπ^0π^0$ followed by the $η$ decays to $π^+π^-π^0$, $γγ$, and $3π^0$. As a result, the upper limit has been set on the $η^\prime$ electronic width: $Γ_{η^{\prime}\to e^+e^-} < 0.0020$ eV at the 90\% confidence level.

Measurement of the $e^+e^- \to ηπ^+π^-$ cross section in the center-of-mass energy range 1.22--2.00 GeV with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 collider

In the experiment with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider the cross section for the process $e^+e^-\toηπ^+π^-$ has been measured in the center-of-mass energy range from 1.22 to 2.00 GeV. Obtained results are in agreement with previous measurements and have better accuracy. The energy dependence of the $e^+e^-\toηπ^+π^-$ cross section has been fitted with the vector-meson dominance model. From this fit the product of the branching fractions $B(ρ(1450)\toηπ^+π^-)B(ρ(1450)\to e^+e^-)$ has been extracted and compared with the same products for $ρ(1450)\toωπ^0$ and $ρ(1450)\toπ^+π^-$ decays. The obtained cross section data have been also used to test the conservation of vector current hypothesis.

Search for the process $e^+e^-\to η^\prime(958)$ with the CMD-3 detector

A search for the process $\epem\to η^\prime(958)$ in the $\pipiη\to\pipiγγ$ final state has been performed with the CMD-3 detector at the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider. Using an integrated luminosity of 2.69 pb$^{-1}$ collected at the center-of-mass energy \Ecm = 957.68 MeV we set an upper limit for the product of electronic width and branching fractions $Γ_{η^\prime(958)\to\epem}\cdot\BR_{η^\prime(958)\to\pipiη}\cdot\BR_{η\toγγ}<0.00041$ eV at 90\% C.L.

Study of the process $e^+e^-\toηγ$ in the center-of-mass energy range 1.07--2.00 GeV

The $e^+e^-\toηγ$ cross section has been measured in the center-of-mass energy range 1.07--2.00 GeV using the decay mode $η\to 3π^0$, $π^0\to γγ$. The analysis is based on 36 pb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider. The measured cross section of about 35 pb at 1.5 GeV is explained by decays of the $ρ(1450)$ and $ϕ(1680)$ resonances.

A system of beam energy measurement based on the Compton backscattered laser photons for the VEPP-2000 electron-positron collider

The beam energy measurement system for the VEPP-2000 electron-positron collider is described. The method of Compton backscattering of $CO$ laser photons on the electron beam is used. The relative systematic uncertainty of the beam energy determination is estimated as 6\cdot10^{-5}. It was obtained through comparison of the results of the beam energy measurements using the Compton backscattering and resonance depolarization methods.

Study of e+e- --> omega pi0 --> pi0 pi0 gamma in the energy range 1.05--2.00 GeV with SND

The cross section for the process e+e- --> omega pi0 --> pi0 pi0 gamma has been measured in the energy range 1.05--2.00 GeV. The experiment has been performed at the e+e- collider VEPP-2000 with the SND detector. The measured e+e- --> omega pi0 cross section above 1.4 GeV is the most accurate to date. Below 1.4 GeV our data are in good agreement with the previous SND and CMD-2 measurements. Data on the e+e- --> omega pi0 cross section are well described by the VMD model with two excited rho-like states. From the measured cross section we have extracted the gamma^* --> omega pi0 transition form factor. It has been found that the VDM model cannot describe simultaneously our data and data obtained from the omega --> pi0 mu+ mu- decay. We have also tested CVC hypothesis comparing our results on the e+e- --> omega pi0 cross section with data on the tau- --> omega pi- nu_{tau} decay.

Backscattering of Laser Radiation on Ultra-Relativistic Electrons in Transverse Magnetic Field: Evidence of Photon Interference in a MeV Scale

The experiment on laser light backscattering on relativistic electrons was carried out at the VEPP-2000 collider. Laser radiation (λ0 10.6 μm) was scattered head-on the 990 MeV electrons inside the dipole magnet, where an electron orbit radius is about 140 cm. The energies of backscattered photons were measured by the HPGe detector. It was observed experimentally that due to the presence of magnetic field, energy spectrum of backscattered photons differs from the Klein-Nishina cross section. The explanation of the effect is proposed in terms of classical electrodynamics. Moreover, it appears that the exact QED predictions for the phenomenon were done more than 40 years ago.

Measurement of $ϕ$(1020) meson leptonic width with CMD-2 detector at VEPP-2M Collider

The $ϕ$(1020) meson leptonic width has been determined from the combined analysis of 4 major decay modes of the resonance ($ϕ\to K^+ K^-,K^0_LK^0_S,π^+π^-π^0,ηγ$) studied with the CMD-2 detector at the VEPP-2M $e^+e^-$ collider. The following value has been obtained: $Γ(ϕ\to e^+e^-) = 1.235\pm 0.006\pm 0.022$ keV. The $ϕ(1020)$ meson parameters in four main decay channels have been also recalculated: $B(ϕ\to K^+K^-) = 0.493\pm 0.003\pm 0.007$, $B(ϕ\to K_LK_S) = 0.336\pm 0.002\pm 0.006$, $B(ϕ\toπ^+π^-π^0) = 0.155\pm 0.002\pm 0.005$, $B(ϕ\toηγ) = 0.0138\pm 0.0002\pm 0.0002$.

An Improved Limit on the Muon Electric Dipole Moment

Three independent searches for an electric dipole moment (EDM) of the positive and negative muons have been performed, using spin precession data from the muon g-2 storage ring at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Details on the experimental apparatus and the three analyses are presented. Since the individual results on the positive and negative muon, as well as the combined result, d=-0.1(0.9)E-19 e-cm, are all consistent with zero, we set a new muon EDM limit, |d| < 1.9E-19 e-cm (95% C.L.). This represents a factor of 5 improvement over the previous best limit on the muon EDM.

Study of the process e+e-\to μ+μ- in the energy region \sqrt{s}=980, 1040 -- 1380 MeV

The cross section of the process e+e-\toμ+μ- was measured in the SND experiment at the VEPP-2M e+e- collider in the energy region \sqrt{s}=980, 1040 -- 1380 MeV. The event numbers of the process e+e-\toμ+μ- were normalized to the integrated luminosity measured using e+e-\to e+e- and e+e-\toγγprocesses. The ratio of the measured cross section to the theoretically predicted value is 1.006\pm 0.007 \pm 0.016 and 1.005 \pm 0.007 \pm 0.018 in the first and second case respectively. Using results of the measurements, the electromagnetic running coupling constant αin the energy region \sqrt{s}=1040 -- 1380 MeV was obtained <1/α> = 134.1\pm 0.5 \pm 1.2 and this is in agreement with theoretical expectation.

Investigation of the $e^+e^- \to ωπ^0 \to π^0 π^0 γ$ reaction in the energy domain near the $ϕ$-meson

The $e^+e^- \to ωπ^0 \to π^0 π^0 γ$ process was investigated in the SND experiment at the VEPP-2M collider. A narrow energy interval near the $ϕ$-meson was scanned. The observed cross-section reveals, at the level of three standard deviation, the interference effect caused by $ϕ\to π^0π^0γ$ decay. The cross-section parameters, as well as the real and imaginary parts of the $ϕ$-meson related amplitude, were measured.
