The SND is a non-magnetic detector at the VEPP-2000 e+e− collider (BINP, Novosibirsk) designed for hadronic cross-section measurements in the center-of-mass energy range up to 2 GeV. The important ...part of the detector is a segmented electromagnetic calorimeter (EMC) with three layers of NaI(Tl) counters. The EMC signal shaping and digitizing electronics based on FADC allow one to obtain both the signal amplitude and the arrival time. We describe the EMC signal processing and how the EMC measured time is applied in event reconstruction and physics analysis.

A novel method of studying e{sup +}e{sup -} annihilation into hadrons using initial state radiation at e{sup +}e{sup -} colliders is described. After a brief history of the method, its theoretical ...foundations are considered. Numerous experiments in which exclusive cross sections of e{sup +}e{sup -} annihilation into hadrons below the center-of-mass energy of 5 GeV have been measured are presented. Some applications of the experimental results to fundamental tests of the standard model are listed.

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.
We study the process e+e−→π+π−ηγ, where the photon is radiated from the initial state. About 8000 fully reconstructed events of this process are selected from the BABAR data sample with an integrated ...luminosity of 469 fb−1. Using the π+π−η invariant mass spectrum, we measure the e+e−→π+π−η cross section in the e+e− center-of-mass energy range from 1.15 to 3.5 GeV. The cross section is well described by the Vector-Meson dominance model with four ρ-like states. We observe 49±9 events of the J/ψ decay to π+π−η and measure the product ΓJ/Ψ→e+e−BJ/Ψ→π+π−η=2.34±0.43stat±0.16syst eV.
