Hadronic events in $e^+ e^- \to Z^0$ are generated by a Monte-Carlo model including the production of colour separate states. These events are compared with those produced by the JETSET with default set of parameters where the colour…

On the basis of perturbative QCD and the relativistic quark model we calculate relativistic and bound state corrections in the production processes of a pair of P-wave charmonium states. Relativistic factors in the production amplitude…
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…

We study power corrections to the differential thrust, heavy jet mass and C-parameter distributions in the two-jet kinematical region in e^+e^- annihilation. We argue that away from the end-point region, e>> \Lambda_{QCD}/Q, the leading…
The quark spin effects are introduced for the first time in the string fragmentation routine of the Pythia 8 Monte Carlo event generator for the simulation of $e^+e^-$ annihilation to hadrons. To describe the spin effects the…
We consider small angle and large impact parameter high energy scattering of colourless states in SYM using the AdS/CFT correspondence. The gauge theory scattering amplitude is linked with a correlation function of tilted Wilson loops,…
The process of $e^+e^-$ annihilation into a $\pi^+\pi^-$ pair with radiation of a photon is considered. The amplitude of the reaction $e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ consists of the model independent initial-state radiation (ISR) and…
A striking feature of cavity quantum electrodynamics is the existence of atom-photon bound states, which typically form when the coupling between the atom and its environment are strong enough that after de-excitation the atom can ``grab''…

Heavy hadron production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation is studied in the framework of heavy-quark recombination mechanism. This mechanism predicts a new type of 3-jet event such as $b\bar{b}q$ or $b\bar{b}\bar{q}$, which is power-suppressed…
The dependence of the $q$ and $T$ parameters of the Tsallis-distribution-shaped fragmentation function (FF) on the fragmentation scale (found to be equal to the jet mass) is calculated via the resummation of the branching process of jet…
Virtual photon scattering in $e^+e^-$ collisions can result in events with the electron-positron pair produced at large rapidity separation in association with hadrons. The BFKL equation resums large logarithms that dominate the cross…
