The review of experimental results obtained with SND detector at VEPP-2M e + e − collider in the energy region √ s = 0.36 -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 φ-meson rare decays, φ-meson parameters measurements, studies of e + e − → π + π − π 0 process dynamics, η and KS mesons rare decays, η and φ mesons conversion decays, and study of the e + e − annihilation into hadrons.The Spherical Neutral Detector (SND) operated since 1995 up to 2000 at VEPP-2M [1] e + e − collider in the energy range from 0.36 to 1.38 GeV. SND was described in detail in Ref. [2]. During six experimental years SND had collected data with integrated luminosity about 30 pb −1 .
Radiative decays of the φ, ω, ρ mesonsElectric dipole transitions of the φ meson. Till recently φ meson electric dipole transitions were not observed. A search for such decays was first performed with ND detector at VEPP-2M and the upper limits of about 10 −3 were obtained [3]. About the same time the theoretical proposal of the φ → f 0 γ,
The corrected cross section of the e + e − → π + π − process measured in the SND experiment at the VEPP-2M e + e − collider is presented. The update is necessary due to a flaw in the e + e − → π + π − and e + e − → µ + µ − Monte Carlo events generators used previously in data analysis.
The luminosity calibration for the ATLAS detector at the LHC during pp collisions at in 2010 and 2011 is presented. Evaluation of the luminosity scale is performed using several luminosity-sensitive detectors, and comparisons are made of the long-term stability and accuracy of this calibration applied to the pp collisions at . A luminosity uncertainty of is obtained for the 47 pb−1 of data delivered to ATLAS in 2010, and an uncertainty of is obtained for the 5.5 fb−1 delivered in 2011.
The Tile Calorimeter is the hadron calorimeter covering the central region of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Approximately 10,000 photomultipliers collect light from scintillating tiles acting as the active material sandwiched between slabs of steel absorber. This paper gives an overview of the calorimeter’s performance during the years 2008–2012 using cosmic-ray muon events and proton–proton collision data at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV with a total integrated luminosity of nearly 30 fb
. The signal reconstruction methods, calibration systems as well as the detector operation status are presented. The energy and time calibration methods performed excellently, resulting in good stability of the calorimeter response under varying conditions during the LHC Run 1. Finally, the Tile Calorimeter response to isolated muons and hadrons as well as to jets from proton–proton collisions is presented. The results demonstrate excellent performance in accord with specifications mentioned in the Technical Design Report.
