Theoretical analysis of frozen wall dynamics during transition to ice holding stage
Series of calculations for the artificial freezing of the rock mass during construction of mineshafts for the conditions of a potash mine in development was carried out. Numerical solution was obtained through the finite element method using ANSYS software package. Numerical dependencies of frozen wall thickness on time in the ice growing stage and ice holding stage are obtained for two layers of the rock mass with different thermophysical properties. External and internal ice wall boundaries were calculated in two ways: by the actual freezing temperature of pore water and by the temperature of –8 °С, at which laboratory measurements of frozen rocks' strength were carried out. Normal operation mode of the freezing station, as well as the emergency mode, associated with the failure of one of the freezing columns, are considered. Dependence of a decrease in frozen wall thickness in the ice holding stage on the duration of the ice growing stage was studied. It was determined that in emergency operation mode of the freezing system, frozen wall thickness by the –8 °C isotherm can decrease by more than 1.5 m. In this case frozen wall thickness by the isotherm of actual freezing of water almost always maintains positive dynamics. It is shown that when analyzing frozen wall thickness using the isotherm of actual freezing of pore water, it is not possible to assess the danger of emergency situations associated with the failure of freezing columns
Measurement of decay rate and parameters at KEDR
Using the inclusive photon spectrum based on a data sample collected at the
peak with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M collider, we
measured the rate of the radiative decay as well
as mass and width. Taking into account an asymmetric photon
lineshape we obtained keV, MeV/, MeV.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
Measurement of J/psi to eta_c gamma at KEDR
We present a study of the inclusive photon spectra from 5.9 million J/psi
decays collected with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M e+e- collider. We
measure the branching fraction of radiative decay J/psi to eta_c gamma, eta_c
width and mass. Our preliminary results are: M(eta_c) = 2979.4+-1.5+-1.9 MeV,
G(eta_c) = 27.8+-5.1+-3.3 MeV, B(J/psi to eta_c gamma) = (2.34+-0.15+-0.40)%.Comment: To be published in Proceedings of the PhiPsi09, Oct. 13-16, 2009,

Precise measurement of and between 1.84 and 3.72 GeV at the KEDR detector
The present work continues a series of the KEDR measurements of the value
that started in 2010 at the VEPP-4M collider. By combining new data
with our previous results in this energy range we measured the values of
and at nine center-of-mass energies between 3.08 and 3.72
GeV. The total accuracy is about or better than at most of energy
points with a systematic uncertainty of about . Together with the
previous precise measurement at KEDR in the energy range 1.84-3.05 GeV, it
constitutes the most detailed high-precision measurement near the
charmonium production threshold.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1610.02827 and substantial

Measurement of B(J/psi->eta_c gamma) at KEDR
We present a study of the inclusive photon spectrum from 6.3 million J/psi
decays collected with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M e+e- collider. We
measure the branching fraction of the radiative decay J/psi -> eta_c gamma,
eta_c width and mass. Taking into account an asymmetric photon line shape we
obtain: M(eta_c) = (2978.1 +- 1.4 +- 2.0) MeV/c^2, Gamma(eta_c) = (43.5 +- 5.4
+- 15.8) MeV, B(J/psi->eta_c gamma) = (2.59 +- 0.16 +- 0.31)%$.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure. To be published in the proceedings of the 4th
