Background in n nbar process Physical background e+ e--> KSKL, 0.1nb e+ e--> KSKL0, 1nb e+ e--> 0->00, 0.1 nb e+ e--> ,->neutrals,10 pb e+ e--> hadrons->neutrals,<0.1 e+ e--> 4,5, (QED),0.1 nb For comparison e+e-->n nbar cross section 1 nb The most physical background comes from the reactions with production of KL. KLinteractions and decays in flight look similar to nbar because they give ‘stars’ outside the detector center. 3 types of background: • Cosmic background: • - they are suppressed by cosmic • veto system; • the survived events can fake • the n nbar events; • time measurements can separate • the effect from cosmic background • Beam background: • is inverse proportional to the beam • life time • can be monitored by measurements • with one beam in the ring; • can be suppressed by nbar • annihilation time measurements N Nbar at VEPP-2000
Example of suppression of physical background for n nbar in SND (MC) e+e->n nbar Event momentum cut e+e->KsKL Conclusion: effective suppression of physical background by ~ 2 ordersis possible using event momentum vs event energy distribution e+e->KsKlp0 e+e->wp0 Event energy N Nbar at VEPP-2000

Conclusions 1. VEPP-2000 can produce ~105 ppbar and nnbar events per year at the threshold region 2E<2000 MeV. This exceeds by 2-3 orders the world statistics of e+en nbar process. 2. The ppbar events can be detected by pbar annihilation star in beam pipe. The GE/GMratio can be obtained from the star z-coordinate distribution 3. SND calorimeter can be used as efficient antineutron detector. Time measurements in NaI(Tl) option is considered to improve events selection and suppress background (physical, beam and cosmic) .
