Measurement of the - mixing angle in and beams with GAMS- Setup
The results of mixing angle measurement for , mesons generated
in charge exchange reactions with and beams are preseneted.
When the , mesons are described in nonstrange(NS)--strange(S)
quark basis the and beams allow to study and
parts of the meson wave function. The cross section ratio at
(GeV/c) in the beam is , results in mixing angle . For
beam the ratio is . It was found that
gluonium content in is . The
experiment was carried out with GAMS-4 Setup.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, 1 table, to be submitted in European physical

On detection of narrow angle e+e- pairs from dark photon decays
A class of models of dark sectors consider new very weak interaction between
the ordinary and dark matter transmitted by U'(1) gauge bosons A' (dark
photons) mixing with our photons. If such A's exist, they could be searched for
in a light-shining-through-a-wall experiment with a high energy electron beam
from the CERN SPS. The proposed search scheme suggests detection of the e+e-
pairs produced in the A' -> e+e- decay with a very small opening angle.
Coordinate chambers based on the thin-wall drift tubes with a minimal material
budget and a two-hit resolution for e+ and e- tracks separated by more than 0.5
mm are considered as an option for detecting such pairs
Study of the system in the mass range up to 1200 MeV
The reaction has been studied with GAMS-2000
spectrometer in the secondary 38 GeV/c -beam of the IHEP U-70
accelerator. Partial wave analysis of the reaction has been performed in the
mass range up to 1200 MeV. The -meson is seen as a sharp
peak in S-wave. The -dependence of production cross section has
been studied. Dominant production of the at a small transfer
momentum confirms the hypothesis of Achasov and Shestakov about significant
contribution of the exchange () in the mechanism
of meson production in -channel of the reaction.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, talk given at HADRON'9
Measurement of the decay form factors in the OKA experiment
A precise measurement of the vector and axial-vector form factors difference
in the decay is presented.
About 95K events of are selected in
the OKA experiment. The result is .

Search for invisible decays of sub-GeV dark photons in missing-energy events at the CERN SPS
We report on a direct search for sub-GeV dark photons (A') which might be
produced in the reaction e^- Z \to e^- Z A' via kinetic mixing with photons by
100 GeV electrons incident on an active target in the NA64 experiment at the
CERN SPS. The A's would decay invisibly into dark matter particles resulting in
events with large missing energy. No evidence for such decays was found with
2.75\cdot 10^{9} electrons on target. We set new limits on the \gamma-A' mixing
strength and exclude the invisible A' with a mass < 100 MeV as an explanation
of the muon g_\mu-2 anomaly.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures; Typos corrected, references adde
On the problem of interactions in quantum theory
The structure of representations describing systems of free particles in the
theory with the invariance group SO(1,4) is investigated. The property of the
particles to be free means as usual that the representation describing a
many-particle system is the tensor product of the corresponding single-particle
representations (i.e. no interaction is introduced). It is shown that the mass
operator contains only continuous spectrum in the interval
and such representations are unitarily equivalent to ones describing
interactions (gravitational, electromagnetic etc.). This means that there are
no bound states in the theory and the Hilbert space of the many-particle system
contains a subspace of states with the following property: the action of free
representation operators on these states is manifested in the form of different
interactions. Possible consequences of the results are discussed.Comment: 35 pages, Late
