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

The beam energy measurement system for the VEPP-2000 electron-positron collider is described. The method of Compton backscattering of CO laser photons on the electron beam is used. The relative ...systematic uncertainty of the beam energy determination is estimated as 610 super(-5). It was obtained through comparison of the results of the beam energy measurements using the Compton backscattering and resonance depolarization methods.

events. The value of the measured cross section in the center-of-mass energy range from 1.894 to 2 GeV varies from 0.5 to 0.35 nb. The effective neutron timelike form factor is derived from the measured cross section and compared with the proton form factor. The ratio of the neutron electric and magnetic form factors is obtained from the analysis of the antineutron polar angle distribution and found to be consistent with unity.
The process e+e−→K+K− has been studied using 1.7×106 events from a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.7 pb−1 collected with the CMD-3 detector in the center-of-mass energy ...range 1010–1060 MeV. The cross section is measured with about 2% systematic uncertainty and is used to calculate the contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon aμK+K−=(19.33±0.40)×10−10, and to obtain the ϕ(1020) meson parameters. We consider the relationship between the e+e−→K+K− and e+e−→KS0KL0 cross sections and compare it to the theoretical prediction.
The process e+e−→K+K−η has been studied in the center-of-mass energy range from 1.59 to 2.007 GeV using the data sample of 59.5 pb−1, collected with the CMD-3 detector at the VEPP-2000 e+e− collider ...in 2011, 2012 and 2017. The K+K−η final state is found to be dominated by the contribution of the ϕ(1020)η intermediate state. The cross section of the process e+e−→ϕ(1020)η has been measured with a systematic uncertainty of 5.1% on the base of 3009 ± 67 selected events. The obtained cross section has been used to calculate the contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon: aμϕη(E<1.8GeV)=(0.321±0.015stat±0.016syst)×10−10, aμϕη(E<2.0GeV)=(0.440±0.015stat±0.022syst)×10−10. From the cross section approximation the ϕ(1680) meson parameters have been determined with better statistical precision, than in previous studies.
The process e+e−→K+K−π+π− has been studied in the center-of-mass energy range from 1500 to 2000 MeV using a data sample of 23 pb−1 collected with the CMD-3 detector at the VEPP-2000 e+e− collider. ...Using about 24 000 selected events, the e+e−→K+K−π+π− cross section has been measured with a systematic uncertainty decreasing from 11.7% at 1500–1600 MeV to 6.1% above 1800 MeV. A preliminary study of K+K−π+π− production dynamics has been performed.
In the framework of the large hadron collider (LHC) upgrade project, new materials are proposed for the vacuum. Amorphous carbon deposited onto the vacuum-chamber wall is examined as a coating with a ...low secondary electron emission rate for superconducting systems designed to upgrade the LHC, i.e., to increase the luminosity of the machine (HL-LHC). Since protons will generate synchrotron radiation with a critical energy of ~10 eV and a flux of 10
