Beam-colliding facilities (colliders) are key to exploring the fundamental properties of matter and understanding elementary particles and their interactions. The Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics ...(BINP), Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, co-pioneered the development of the method of colliding beams and maintains the leading position in using it. This paper reviews the past, present, and future of research with colliding beams at the BINP.
The historical development of techniques for cooling charged particles is presented. It was G I Budker, the founder and first Director of the Institute of Nuclear Physics (INP) in Novosibirsk, who ...initiated the development of cooling methods as a means of improving the performance of colliding beams accelerators (now known as colliders). The electron cooling method proposed by G I Budker became the main subject of investigation at BINP. Today, many facilities - ranging from the LHC to those on a moderate university scale - use the electron cooling of heavy ions in nuclear and atomic physics experiments with highly charged ions. The stochastic cooling method proposed by van der Meer has become the primary tool for accumulating and cooling antiprotons.
We analyze a 37 pb−1 data sample collected with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 e+e− collider in the center-of-mass energy range 1.05–2.00 GeV and present an updated measurement of the ...e+e−→ωπ0→π0π0γ cross section. In particular, we correct the mistake in radiative correction calculation made in our previous measurement based on a part of the data. The measured cross section is fitted with the vector meson dominance model with three ρ-like states and used to test the conserved vector current hypothesis in the τ−→ωπ−ντ decay.

The process e+e−→π+π−π0η is studied in the center-of-mass energy region below 2 GeV with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 e+e− collider. The following four intermediate states contribute to this ...process: ωη, ϕη, a0(980)ρ, and a structureless π+π−π0η state. We measure the total e+e−→π+π−π0η cross section and the cross sections for its components: ωη, ϕη, and a sum of a0(980)ρ and the structureless state. Our results are in agreement with previous measurements and have comparable or better accuracies.

The cross section of the process e+e−→ωη is measured in the center-of-mass energy range 1.34–2.00 GeV. The analysis is based on data collected with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 e+e− collider. ...The measured e+e−→ωη cross section is the most accurate to date. A significant discrepancy is observed between our data and previous BABAR measurements.

We present a measurement of the pion form factor based on e+e− annihilation data from the CMD-2 detector in the energy range 0.6<s<1.0 GeV with a systematic uncertainty of 0.8%. A data sample is five ...times larger than that used in our previous measurement.

The first stage of Novosibirsk high-power free electron laser (FEL) was commissioned in 2003. It is based on the normal conducting CW energy recovery linac (ERL). Now the FEL provides electromagnetic ...radiation in the wavelength range 120–230
μm. The maximum average power is 400
W. The minimum measured linewidth is 0.3%, which is close to the Fourier-transform limit. Four user stations are in operation now. Manufacturing of the second stage of the FEL (based on the four-turn ERL) is in progress.
