Measurement of omega meson parameters in pi^+pi^-pi^0 decay mode with CMD-2
About 11 200 e^+e^- -> omega -> pi^+pi^-pi^0 events selected in the center of
mass energy range from 760 to 810 MeV were used for the measurement of the
\omega meson parameters. The following results have been obtained: sigma
_{0}=(1457 \pm 23 \pm 19)nb, m_{\omega}=(782.71 \pm 0.07 \pm 0.04) MeV/c^{2},
\Gamma_{\omega}=(8.68 \pm 0.23 \pm 0.10) MeV,
\Gamma_{e^+e^-}\cdot Br (\omega -> pi^+pi^-pi^0)=
(0.528 \pm 0.012 \pm 0.007) \cdot 10^{-3} MeV.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure
Observation of the conversion decay at CMD-2
Using 15.1^{-1} of data collected by CMD-2 in the -meson energy range,
the branching ratio of the conversion decay has been
measured for the first time: B(\phi\to\pi^0e^+e^-) = (1.22 \pm 0.34 \pm 0.21)
\cdot 10 ^{-5}.Comment: 13 pages, 6 PostScript figures, uses refmerge.sty. To be published in

Cross section of the reaction below 1 GeV at CMD-2
Using 3.07 of data collected in the energy range 0.60-0.97 GeV by
CMD-2, about 150 events of the process \epm \to \pch have been selected. The
energy dependence of the cross section agrees with the assumption of the
intermediate state which is dominant above 1 GeV. For the first
time \fourpi events are observed at the meson energy. Under the
assumption that all these events come from the meson decay, the value of
the cross section at the meson peak corresponds to the following decay
width:
\Gamma(\rho^0 \to \fourpi) = (2.8 \pm 1.4 \pm 0.5) {keV} or to the branching
ratio
B(\rho^0 \to \fourpi) = (1.8 \pm 0.9 \pm 0.3) \cdot 10 ^{-5}.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figure
Study of KS KL Coupled Decays and KL -Be Interactions with the CMD-2 Detector at VEPP-2M Collider
The integrated luminosity about 4000 inverse nanobarn of around phi meson
mass ( 5 millions of phi mesons) has been collected with the CMD-2 detector at
the VEPP-2M collider. A latest analysis of the KS KL coupled decays based on 30
% of available data is presented in this paper.
The KS KL pairs from phi meson decays were reconstructed in the drift chamber
when both kaons decayed into two charged particles. From a sample of 1423
coupled decays a selection of candidates to the CP violating KL into pi+ pi-
decay was performed. CP violating decays were not identified because of the
domination of events with a KL regenerating at the Be beam pipe into KS and a
background from KL semileptonic decays.
The regeneration cross section of 110 MeV/c KL mesons was found to be 53 +-
17 mb in agreement with theoretical expectations. The angular distribution of
KS mesons after regeneration and the total cross section of KL for Be have been
measured.Comment: 14 pages, 8 figure
Vector meson production and nucleon resonance analysis in a coupled-channel approach for energies m_N < sqrt(s) < 2 GeV II: photon-induced results
We present a nucleon resonance analysis by simultaneously considering all
pion- and photon-induced experimental data on the final states gamma N, pi N, 2
pi N, eta N, K Lambda, K Sigma, and omega N for energies from the nucleon mass
up to sqrt(s) = 2 GeV. In this analysis we find strong evidence for the
resonances P_{31}(1750), P_{13}(1900), P_{33}(1920), and D_{13}(1950). The
omega N production mechanism is dominated by large P_{11}(1710) and
P_{13}(1900) contributions. In this second part we present the results on the
photoproduction reactions and the electromagnetic properties of the resonances.
The inclusion of all important final states up to sqrt(s) = 2 GeV allows for
estimates on the importance of the individual states for the GDH sum rule.Comment: 41 pages, 26 figures, discussion extended, typos corrected,

Search for rare Phi decays in pi+ pi_ gamma final state
A search for phi radiative decays has been performed using a data sample of
about 2.0 million phi decays collected by the CMD-2 detector at VEPP-2M
collider in Novosibirsk. From the selected e+ e- -> pi+ pi- gamma events the
following results were obtained: B(phi -> f0(980) gamma) < 1x10-4 for
destructive and B(phi -> f0(980) gamma) < 7x10-4 for constructive interference
with the Bremsstrahlung process respectively, B(phi -> gamma -> pi+ pi- gamma)
20 MeV, B(phi -> rho gamma) < 7x10-4. From the
selected e+ e- -> mu+ mu- gamma events B(phi -> mu+ mu- gamma) =
(2.3+-1.0)x10-5 has been obtained for E of gamma> 20 MeV. The upper limit on
the P,CP-violating decay eta -> pi+ pi- has also been placed: B(eta -> pi+ pi-)
< 9x10-4 . All upper limits are at 90 % C.L.Comment: 18 pages, 7 figure
Study of the decays into and final states
Radiative decays of the meson have been studied using a data sample of
about 19 million decays collected by the CMD-2 detector at VEPP-2M
collider in Novosibirsk. From selected and

have been obtained: \par for MeV, \par

It is shown that the intermediate mechanism dominates in
the decay and the corresponding branching ratio
is \par . The
systematic error is dominated by the possible model uncertainty. \par Using the
same data sample the upper limit has been obtained for the P- and CP-violating
decay of at 90% CL: \par

Using 15.1 pb^{-1} of data collected by CMD-2 in the phi-meson energy range,
the branching ratios of the following conversion decays have been measured:
B(\phi\to\eta e^+e^-) = (1.14\pm0.10\pm0.06)\cdot10^{-4}, B(\eta\to
e^+e^-\gamma) = (7.10\pm0.64\pm0.46)\cdot10^{-3}, B(\eta\to\pi^+\pi^-e^+e^-) =
(3.7^{+2.5}_{-1.8}\pm0.3)\cdot10^{-4}. The upper limits for the following rare
conversion decays have been obtained at the 90% confidence level:
B(\phi\to\eta\mu^+\mu^-) < 9.4\cdot10^{-6}, B(\eta\to e^+e^-e^+e^-) <
6.9\cdot10^{-5}.Comment: 16 pages, 7 PostScript figures. To be published in Phys. Lett.
