2d Gauge Theories and Generalized Geometry
We show that in the context of two-dimensional sigma models minimal coupling
of an ordinary rigid symmetry Lie algebra leads naturally to the
appearance of the "generalized tangent bundle" by means of composite fields. Gauge transformations of the composite
fields follow the Courant bracket, closing upon the choice of a Dirac structure
(or, more generally, the choide of a "small
Dirac-Rinehart sheaf" ), in which the fields as well as the symmetry
parameters are to take values. In these new variables, the gauge theory takes
the form of a (non-topological) Dirac sigma model, which is applicable in a
more general context and proves to be universal in two space-time dimensions: A
gauging of of a standard sigma model with Wess-Zumino term
exists, \emph{iff} there is a prolongation of the rigid symmetry to a Lie
algebroid morphism from the action Lie algebroid
into (or the algebraic analogue of the morphism in the case of
). The gauged sigma model results from a pullback by this morphism
from the Dirac sigma model, which proves to be universal in two-spacetime
dimensions in this sense.Comment: 22 pages, 2 figures; To appear in Journal of High Energy Physic
Spin-dependent pbar-d cross sections at low and intermediate energies
Antiproton-deuteron () scattering is calculated at beam energies
below 300 MeV within the Glauber approach, utilizing the amplitudes of the
J\"ulich models. A good agreement is obtained with available
experimental data on upolarized differential and integrated cross
sections. Predictions for polarized total cross sections are
presented, obtained within the single scattering approximation including
Coulomb-nuclear interference effects. It is found that the total longitudinal
and transversal cross sections are comparable in absolute value to
those for scattering.
The kinetics of polarization buildup is considered.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, to appear in proceedings of the 19th

Review of experimental results from SND detector
The review of experimental results obtained with SND detector at VEPP-2M
collider in the energy region -- 1.38 GeV is given.
The presented results include the following items: studies of the light vector
mesons radiative decays, OZI-rule and G-parity suppressed -meson rare
decays, -meson parameters measurements, studies of
process dynamics, and mesons rare
decays, and mesons conversion decays, and study of the
annihilation into hadrons.Comment: 12 pages and 6 figures. Talk given at the IX International Conference

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,
