Abstract
The general purpose spherical nonmagnetic detector (SND) is now taking data at VEPP-2M e(+)e(-) collider in BINP (Novosibirsk) in the center -of-mass-energy range of 0.2 - 1.4 GeV. The energy calibration of the NaI(T1) calorimeter of the SND detector with cosmic muons is described . Using this method, the energy resolution of 5.5% (sigma) for 500 MeV photons was achieved.
