%X There exists a special interest in investigating acoustical and optical vibrations of glasses in the one THz frequency region. The main experimental tools that are used to this effect are briefly discussed. The current understanding of the boson-peak vibrations and of their resonance with acoustic branches are explained. Specific new results on the origin of the boson peak and on the end of acoustic branches are presented for borates.
