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 ${\rho}^\pm$…

Short range meson-exchange mechanisms such as $\rho\to\omega\pi^0$ contribute significantly to the amplitude for $pp\rightarrow pp\pi^0$ near threshold in addition to pion rescattering. The uncertainty of the latter contribution, which…
