The cross-section for the production of $t\bar{t}$ pairs in $e^+e^-$-annihilation via a virtual photon is determined up to order $\alpha_s^2$. For the cm-energies of interest the effect of the top mass may not be considered as a small…
We measure the cross section of $e^+e^-\rightarrow\eta_c J/\psi$ at the $\Upsilon(nS) (n=1$ -- $5)$ on-resonance and 10.52 GeV off-resonance energy points using the full data sample collected by the Belle detector with an integrated…
This paper is devoted to the study of the processes e^+e^- \to J/\Psi \eta_c, J/\Psi \eta_c', \psi' \eta_c, \psi' \eta_c' within light cone formalism. It is shown that if one disregards the contribution of higher fock states, the twist-3…

If one of the recently discovered charmed-strange mesons (D_sJ(2317)) is the 0+ state of cs-bar, the other (D_sJ(2460)) is most likely the 1+ state with j=1/2. They could be produced in e+e- annihilation by fragmentation from cc-bar jets or…
We sketch some recent ideas proposed as the mechanism behind the puzzling experimental results on baryon-antibaryon production in e+e- annihilation close to threshold. The essential new point in the proposed mechanism is that it is a…
