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
We report the status of a neural network regression model trained to extract new physics (NP) parameters in Monte Carlo (MC) simulation data. We utilize a new EvtGen NP MC generator to generate B → ...K*0µ+µ− events according to the deviation of the Wilson Coefficient C9 from its SM value, δC9. We train a three-dimensional ResNet regression model, using images built from the angular observables and the invariant mass of the di-muon system, to extract values of δC9 directly from the MC data samples. This work is intended for future analyses at the Belle II experiment but may also find applicability at other experiments.

SuperKEKB, the next generation B factory, has been constructed in Japan as an upgrade of KEKB. This brand new e+ e- collider is expected to deliver a very large data set for the Belle II experiment, ...which will be 50 times larger than the previous Belle sample. Both the triggered physics event rate and the background event rate will be increased by at least 10 times than the previous ones, and will create a challenging data taking environment for the Belle II detector. The software system of the Belle II experiment is designed to execute this ambitious plan. A full detector simulation library, which is a part of the Belle II software system, is created based on Geant4 and has been tested thoroughly. Recently the library has been upgraded with Geant4 version 10.1. The library is behaving as expected and it is utilized actively in producing Monte Carlo data sets for various studies. In this paper, we will explain the structure of the simulation library and the various interfaces to other packages including geometry and beam background simulation.
The results of the experiment on the measurement of the e+e− → π+π− cross section in a cm energy range of 370–520 MeV are presented. The systematic measurement error is equal to 0.7%. In the vector ...dominance model, the pion electromagnetic radius is calculated using all the CMD-2 data on the pion form factor. The cross section for the production of a muon pair is measured in the energy range of the experiment.

Recently, various cross sections of e+e- annihilation into hadrons were accurately measured in the energy range from 0.37 to 1.39 GeV with the CMD-2 detector at the VEPP-2M collider. In the π+π- ...channel a systematic uncertainty of 0.6% has been achieved. A Monte-Carlo Generator Photon Jets (MCGPJ) was developed to simulate events of Bhabha scattering as well as production of two charged pions, kaons and muons. Based on the formalism of structure functions, the leading logarithmic contributions related to the emission of photon jets in the collinear region are incorporated into the MC generator. Radiative corrections (RC) in the first order of α are accounted for exactly. The theoretical precision of the cross sections with RC is estimated to be better than 0.2%. Numerous tests of the program as well as a comparison with other MC generators and CMD-2 experimental data are presented.

The construction, digitizing electronics and results of test with cosmic rays of cylindrical drift chamber for CMD-3 detector are described. To uniformly fill the sensitive volume small hexagonal ...cells were chosen. The coordinate along the wire is measured by charge division technique. A resolution in the R–ϕ-plane of better than 110μm and about 3mm along the wire as well as a dE/dx resolution of about 12% were obtained in cosmic test runs.
The process e+ e−→ K+ K−π0 has been studied in the center-of-mass energy range from 1.2 to 2 GeV using a 80.6 pb−1 data sample collected with the CMD-3 detector at the electron-positron collider ...VEPP-2000. Preliminary results of the cross-section measurement are presented.
