Detectors and physics at VEPP-2000

A new electron–positron collider VEPP-2000 is now under commission at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics. The high luminosity and its center-of-mass energy extended up to 2 GeV open up new possibilities in precision studies of the electron–positron annihilation into hadrons. To perform experiments with this new collider, two detectors—SND and CMD-3—are now being installed at the VEPP-2000 experimental hall. The physics program and results of the tests of the major detector subsystems are reported.
