Abstract

FASTERD is a Monte Carlo event generator to study the final state radiation both in the e+eπ+πγe^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma and e+eπ0π0γe^+e^-\to\pi^0\pi^0\gamma processes in the energy region of the ϕ\phi-factory DAΦ\PhiNE. Differential spectra that include both initial and final state radiation and the interference between them are produced. Three different mechanisms for the ππγ\pi\pi\gamma final state are considered: Bremsstrahlung process (both in the framework of sQED and Resonance Perturbation Theory), the ϕ\phi direct decay (e+eϕ(f0;f0+σ)γππγe^+e^-\to\phi\to (f_0;f_0+\sigma)\gamma\to \pi\pi\gamma) and the double resonance mechanism (as e+eϕρ±ππ+πγe^+e^-\to\phi\to \rho^\pm\pi^\mp\to \pi^+\pi^-\gamma and e+eρωπ0π0π0γe^+e^-\to\rho\to \omega\pi^0\to \pi^0\pi^0\gamma). Additional models can be incorporated as well.
