Measurement of hadron cross sections with the SND detector

New results on exclusive hadron production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation obtained in experiments with the SND detector at the VEPP-2M and VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ colliders are presented.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, presented at the 14th International Workshop on Meson Production, Properties and Interaction (MESON 2016), Cracow, Poland, 2nd - 7th June 201

Progress on development of the new FDIRC PID detector

International audienceWe present a progress status of a new concept of PID detector called FDIRC, intended to be used at the SuperB experiment, which requires π/K separation up to a few GeV/c. The new photon camera is made of the solid fused-silica optics with a volume 25× smaller and speed increased by a factor of 10 compared to the BaBar DIRC, and therefore will be much less sensitive to electromagnetic and neutron background
