We discuss ${\gamma}{\gamma}\to {\pi}{\pi}$ reactions, starting from the two-pion threshold up to about $\sqrt{s_{{\gamma}{\gamma}}}$ = 6 GeV. We include the dipion continuum due to pion exchange (for ${\pi}^+{\pi}^-$) and ${\rho}^\pm$…
By measuring hadronic single-particle spectra and two-particle correlations in heavy-ion collisions, the size and dynamical state of the collision fireball at freeze-out can be reconstructed. I discuss the relevant theoretical methods and…

The $\gamma\gamma\to\pi\pi$ reactions are discussed. To describe those processes, we include dipion continuum, resonances, high-energy pion-pion rescatterings, $\rho$ meson exchange and pQCD Brodsky-Lepage mechanisms. The cross section for…
We show the discrepancy between the isospin-rotated $e^+e^-\to\eta\pi^-\pi^+$ cross-section -- measured by various collaborations -- and the Belle $\tau^-\to\eta\pi^-\pi^0\nu_\tau$ spectrum, which cannot be explained by heavy new physics…
Event shapes for Au + Au collisions at 11.4 GeV/c per nucleon were studied over nearly the full solid angle with the E877 apparatus. The analysis was performed by Fourier expansion of azimuthal distributions of the transverse energy (E_T)…
An expanding fireball model with two freeze-outs, which assumes that the chemical freeze-out occurs earlier at higher temperature and the thermal freeze-out occurs later at lower temperature, is developed and successfully applied to fit…
