High precision beam momentum determination in a synchrotron using a spin resonance method
In order to measure the mass of the eta meson with high accuracy using the
d+p -> 3He+eta reaction, the momentum of the circulating deuteron beam in the
Cooler Synchrotron COSY of the Forschungszentrum Juelich has to be determined
with unprecedented precision. This has been achieved by studying the spin
dynamics of the polarized deuteron beam. By depolarizing the beam through the
use of an artificially induced spin resonance, it was possible to evaluate its
momentum p with a precision of dp/p < 10-4 for a momentum of roughly 3 GeV/c.
Different possible sources of error in the application of the spin resonance
method are discussed in detail and its possible use during a standard
experiment is considered.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures, 2 tables, published versio
Experimental study of the decay PHI(1020)--->ETA+GAMMA in multi-photon final state
In the SND experiment at VEPP-2M e^+e^- collider the phi(1020) ---> eta+gamma
---> 3pi^0+gamma decay was studied. The branching ratio B(phi--->eta+gamma) =
(1.246 +- 0.025 +- 0.057)% was measured.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, 1 table, Submitted to JETP Let
Study of the process e+e-\to \mu+\mu- in the energy region \sqrt{s}=980, 1040 -- 1380 MeV
The cross section of the process e+e-\to\mu+\mu- 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-\to\mu+\mu- were normalized
to the integrated luminosity measured using e+e-\to e+e- and
e+e-\to\gamma\gamma processes. 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 \alpha in the
energy region \sqrt{s}=1040 -- 1380 MeV was obtained = 134.1\pm 0.5
\pm 1.2 and this is in agreement with theoretical expectation.Comment: 29 pages, 23 figure
Evidence of phi --> pi0 pi0 gamma and phi --> pi0 eta gamma decays in SND experiment at VEPP-2M
Preliminary results on the study of e+e- --> phi(1020) --> pi0 pi0 gamma, eta
pi0 gamma processes from SND experiment at VEPP-2M collider in Novosibirsk are
presented. Branching ratios of rare radiative phi --> pi0 pi0 gamma and phi -->
pi0 eta gamma decays are measured:
B(phi --> pi0 pi0 gamma ) = (1.1 +- 0.2) * 10^-4
(invariant mass (pi0 pi0) < 800 MeV),
B(phi --> eta pi0 gamma ) = (1.3 +- 0.5) * 10^-4.Comment: Talk at the HADRON97 conference, BNL, Aug 24-30 1997; LaTeX, 4 pages,

Update of the e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^- cross section measured by SND detector in the energy region 400<\sqrt{s}<1000 MeV
The corrected cross section of the e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^- process measured in
the SND experiment at the VEPP-2M e^+e^- collider is presented. The update is
necessary due to a flaw in the e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^- and e^+e^-\to\mu^+\mu^-
Monte Carlo events generators used previously in data analysis.Comment: 10 pages,7 figure
