We present predictions on the total cross sections and on the rho parameter for present and future pp and (-)pp colliders, and on total cross sections for gammap-->hadrons at cosmic-ray energies and ...for gammagamma-->hadrons up to sqrts=1 TeV. These predictions are based on an extensive study of possible analytic parametrizations invoking the largest hadronic dataset available at t=0. The uncertainties on total cross sections reach 1.9% at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, 3.1% at the Tevatron, and 4.8% at the Large Hadron Collider, whereas those on the rho parameter are, respectively, 5.4%, 5.2%, and 5.4%.

The paper describes a method of the charged particle identification, developed for the CMD-3 detector, installed at the VEPP-2000 e+e− collider. The method is based on application of boosted decision ...trees classifiers, trained for the optimal separation of electrons, muons, pions and kaons in the momentum range from 100 to 1200MeV/c. The input variables for the classifiers are linear combinations of the energy depositions of charged particles in 12 layers of the liquid xenon calorimeter of the CMD-3. The event samples for training of the classifiers are taken from the simulation. Various issues of the calorimeter strip channels response simulation and their calibration are considered. Application of the method is illustrated by the examples of separation of the e+e−(γ) and π+π−(γ) final states and of selection of the K+K− final state at high energies.
The cross section of the process e + e − → π + π − has been measured in the center-of-mass energy range from 0.32 to 1.2 GeV with the CMD-3 detector at the electron-positron collider VEPP-2000. The ...measurement is based on an integrated luminosity of about 88 pb − 1 , of which 62 pb − 1 represent a complete dataset collected by CMD-3 at center-of-mass energies below 1 GeV. In the dominant region near the ρ resonance a systematic uncertainty of 0.7% was achieved. The implications of the presented results for the evaluation of the hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon are discussed. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
A recent result of the cross section measurement of the process e + e − → K S K π at e + e − collider VEPP-2000 is presented using a data sample of the ∼150 pb−1 integrated luminosity collected with ...the CMD-3 detector. The processes with charged kaons in multi hadron events attract special interest, because they impact strongly on studies of light quark hadronization, isospin symmetry, and strange meson spectroscopy. Experimental results of e + e − → K S K π cross section are presented in a broad energy range covered by the VEPP-2000 and compared to earlier measurements. A study of the production dynamics confirms the dominance of neutral KK * ( 892 ) intermediate state.
The cross section of the process e + e − → π + π − has been measured in the center of mass energy range from 0.32 to 1.2 GeV with the CMD-3 detector at the electron-positron collider VEPP-2000. The ...measurement is based on a full dataset collected below 1 GeV during three data taking seasons, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 62 pb − 1 . In the dominant ρ -resonance region, a systematic uncertainty of 0.7% has been reached. At energies around ϕ -resonance the π + π − production cross section was measured for the first time with high beam energy resolution. The forward-backward charge asymmetry in the π + π − production has also been measured. It shows a strong deviation from the theoretical prediction based on the conventional scalar quantum electrodynamics framework, and it is in good agreement with the generalized vector-meson-dominance and dispersive-based predictions. The impact of the presented results on the evaluation of the hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of muon is discussed. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

The physics ...program of the experiment in general is devoted to the study of charm quark and tau lepton. Conceptual designs of the collider and a universal detector are presented. The dedicated particle identification (PID) system is required to provide the state-of-the-art level of μ/π separation for the particle momenta up to 1.2GeV/c. The following options for the PID system are considered in this paper: Focusing Aerogel RICH (FARICH) detector composed of 4-layer aerogel tiles, threshold Cherenkov counters based on aerogel and shifter (ASHIPH), Focusing DIRC (FDIRC) counter and time-of-flight (ToF) detector combined with the time-of-propagation (ToP) approach providing a time resolution better than 30ps. Also the capabilities of particles separation in tracking system are discussed. Comparison of PID approaches with help of parametric simulation is performed.

We propose a new method for determining the thickness of layers in x-ray fluorescence analysis of two-layer Ti/V systems, using easily fabricated standardized film layers obtained by sputter ...deposition of titanium on a polymer film substrate. We have calculated correction factors taking into account the level of attenuation for the intensity of the primary emission from the x-ray tube and the analytical line for the element of the bottom layer in the top layer, and the enhancement of the fluorescence intensity for the top layer by the emission of atoms in the bottom layer.
