Commensurate vortex lattices and oscillation effects in superconducting Mo/Si and W/Si multilayers
We report experimental results of the vortex lattice structure investigation in the artificial
superconducting Mo/Si and W/Si superlattices. The resistance R and critical current Ic measurements
in parallel magnetic fields have been performed as well as measurements in tilted magnetic
fields. At temperatures where condition of strong layering is satisfied the dependences Ic(H||) and
R(H||) reveal oscillation behavior. It is shown that the appearance of oscillations and of reentrant
behavior (vanishing of resistivity in definite ranges of H||) are due to the strong intrinsic pinning
and to the effect of commensurability between the vortex lattice period and multilayer wavelength.
The locations of Ic(H||) and R(H||) extrema correspond to the stable states of a commensurate vortex
lattice. Our experimental data are in good quantitative agreement with Ivlev, Kopnin, and
Pokrovsky (IKP) theory. It is shown that the values of the commensurability fields depend exclusively
on the superlattice period s and anisotropy coefficient γ and do not depend on the type of materials
used for multilayer preparation. The memory effect, i.e., dependence of the oscillation pattern
on the magnetic history of the sample, is observed. It is shown experimentally that the state of
the vortex matter in the layered superconductors is essentially different from that of type-II superconductors
with a random distribution of the pinning centers. Investigation of oscillation and
reentrance behavior may be used as a new tool for vortex lattice arrangement study in layered superconductors.
The essential advantage of this method is connected with its simplicity and with the possibility
of using it in arbitrary large fields. Investigations of the commensurate states may be used
for rather precise determination of the anisotropy coefficient γ

Study of the process e+e- to pi+pi-pi+pi-pi0 with CMD-2 detector
The process e+e- to pi+ pi- pi+ pi- pi0 has been studied in the center of
mass energy range 1280 -- 1380 MeV using 3.0 1/pb of data collected with the
CMD-2 detector in Novosibirsk. Analysis shows that the cross section of the
five pion production is dominated by the contributions of the eta pi+pi- and
omega pi+pi- intermediate states.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure. Submitted to Phys. Lett.
Study of the Process in the C.M.Energy Range 1.05-1.38 GeV with CMD-2
The process has been studied with the CMD-2 detector
using about 950 events detected in the center-of-mass energy range from 1.05 to
1.38 GeV. The cross section exceeds the expectation based on the contributions
of the rho(770), omega(782) and phi(1020) mesons only.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures, uses elsart.cls, submitted to Physics Letters

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)

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 the Process e+ e- --> omega pi0 --> pi0 pi0 gamma in c.m. Energy Range 920--1380 MeV at CMD-2
The cross section of the process e+ e- --> omega pi0 --> pi0 pi0 gamma has
been measured in the c.m. energy range 920-1380 MeV with the CMD-2 detector.
Its energy dependence is well described by the interference of the rho(770) and
rho'(1450) mesons decaying to omega pi0. Upper limits for the cross sections of
the direct processes e+ e- --> pi0 pi0 gamma, eta pi0 gamma have been set.Comment: Accepted for publication in PL
