Effects due to non-pointlike behaviour of pions in the process $e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ can arise for hard photons in the final state. By means of a Monte Carlo event generator, which also includes the contribution of the direct decay…
The decay K_L -> pi0 gamma e+ e- occurs at a it higher rate than the nonradiative process K_L -> pi0 e+ e-, and hence can be a background to CP violation studies using the latter reaction. It also has an interest in its own right in the…
First numerical results of the Monte Carlo generator RACOONWW for e+e- --> WW --> 4fermions(+gamma) in the electroweak Standard Model are presented. This event generator is the first one that includes O(alpha) electroweak radiative…
A fast leading-order Monte Carlo generator for the process $e^+e^-\to\mu^+\mu^-\gamma$ is described. In fact, using the $e^+e^-\to\mu^+\mu^-\gamma $ process as an example, we provide a pedagogical demonstration of how a Monte Carlo…
We present a calculation of the cross section and the event generator of the reaction $\pi e\to \pi e \gamma$. This reaction is sensitive to the pion generalized dipole polarizabilities, namely, the longitudinal electric $\alpha_L(q^2)$,…
We present an analysis of the process $e^+e^-\to V^*\to\pi\pi\gamma$, where $V=\gamma$ or $V=Z$ boson, in the kinematical region where $\sqrt{s}$, the c.m. energy of the $e^+e^-$ pair, is large but much below the $Z$-pole. The subprocess…
The e+e- --> pi+pi-pi0pi0 reaction cross section as a function of the incident energy is calculated using a model that is an extension of our recently published model of the e+e- annihilation into four charged pions. The latter considered…
I describe a five-dimensional, polarised, Bethe-Heitler event generator of $\gamma$-ray conversions to $\mu^+\mu^-$, based on a generator for conversion to $e^+e^-$ developed in the past. Verifications are performed from close-to-threshold…
We have measured the cross section $\sigma(e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma)$ with the KLOE detector at DA$\Phi$NE, at an energy $W=M_\phi=1.02$ GeV. From the dependence of the cross section on $m(\pi^+\pi^-)=\sqrt{W^2-2WE_\gamma}$, where…
