Building on earlier work, the dipole subtraction formalism for photonic corrections is extended to various photon--fermion splittings where the resulting collinear singularities lead to corrections that are enhanced by logarithms of small…
We investigate a contribution of the $d$ wave to the cross section of $e^+e^-$ annihilation to the pair of charged leptons or nucleons close to threshold of the process. In contrast to the point of view accepted in literature, due to the…
We study the pairwise annihilation process $A+A\to$ inert of a number of random walkers, which originally are localized in a small region in space. The size of the colony and the typical distance between particles increases with time and,…

Several non-threshold reactions which may be used to detect the cosmic neutrino background are presented. The corresponding cross sections are calculated analytically within the Standard Model. These reactions are sensitive not only to the…
The annihilation of TeV-scale leptophilic dark matter into electron-positron pairs (hereafter $e^+e^-$) will produce a sharp cutoff in the local cosmic-ray $e^+e^-$ spectrum at an energy matching the dark matter mass. At these high…
We report the first observation of $e^+e^-$ annihilations into states of positive $C$-parity, namely $\rho^0 \rho^0$ and $\phi\rho^0$. The two states are observed in the $\pip\pim\pip\pim$ and $K^+K^-\pip\pim$ final states, respectively, in…
