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 process of hard photon emission by initial electrons (positrons) at B-factories is discussed. It is shown that studies of the bottomonium spectroscopy will be feasible for the planned integrated luminosity of the B-factory experiments.
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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
