The results are interesting in connection with their contribution to the total hadronic cross section, the muon g- and a possibility to study excited vector mesons properties. The nucleon anti-nucleon production was also studied. Keywords: detector, hadrons, cross section.. Introduction Starting from, SND detector is carrying out the experiments at the VEPP- collider in the energy range from 3 MeV to GeV. The SND (Fig. ) isthe general purpose non-magnetic detector for low energy e + e -colliders. It consists of the 9 layers drift-chamber, the aerogel Cherenkov counters, the three-layer spherical electromagnetic calorimeter with 68 NaI(Tl) crystals and the muon system. During - years SND collected about pb integrated luminosity at the energy range.. GeV. This is an Open Access article published by World Scientific Publishing Company.

Multihadron processes Process e + e ωπ. This process was studied in the π π γ final state. The cross section measured using 3 pb data set is presented in Fig.. Uptodate, this is the most accurate measurement of this process above. GeV. The fit to the cross section was done with a sum of ρ(77), ρ() and ρ(7) contributions. Using SND data and CVC hypothesis the probability of τ ωπ ν τ decay was calculated B(τ ωπ ν τ )=(.96 ±. ±.)%. This value is in good agreement with the PDG data 3 B(τ ωπ ν τ )=(.9 ±.8)%. The e + e ωπ cross section can be expressed in term of the γ ωπ transition form factor F ωπγ : σ ωπ (E) = πα E 3 F ωπγ(e ) P f (E), where P f (E) is the phase space factor. From the measured cross section the energy dependence of the transition form factor was obtained (Fig. 3). This dependence at lower energies was measured earlier by NA6 experiment in ω π µ + µ decay. The solid curve represents the results of the VMD prediction with the parameters obtained from our cross section fit. The dashed curve shows the ρ(77) contribution only. One can conclude that it is hard to describe the data from e + e annihilation and NA6 experiment simultaneously within VMD model. Process e + e ηγ. This process was studied in the 7γ final state. Data set of 3 pb integrated luminosity was analyzed. About 6 events of the process were selected. The obtained cross section is shown in Fig.. The approximation was performed taking into account ρ(77), ρ() and ρ(7) contributions. This is the first measurement of the e + e ηγ process in the energy range above. GeV. Process e + e π + π π π. This process dominates in the energy region between and GeV. The data set of 3 pb was analyzed. The measured cross section is shown in Fig.. The main contributions come from the ρ() and ρ(7) resonances. This process can proceed via several intermediate states 6388-

The contributions from the ω () and ω (6) resonances are seen. The result is in good agreement with previous SND 3 and BABAR data. Process e + e ηπ + π. This process was studied in the η γ decay mode. The data set of 3 pb was used. The measured cross section is shown in Fig. 8. The fit to the cross section was done with a sum of the ρ(77), ρ() and ρ(7) contributions. Using SND data and CVC hypothesis the probability of τ ηπ π ν τ decay was calculated to be B(τ ηπ π ν τ )=(.88.7 +.8 )%. This value is in a reasonable agreement with the PDG 3 data: B(τ ηπ π ν τ )= (.39 ±.)%. Process e + e N N. The e + e n n and e + e p p processes were studied in the near-threshold region.
