We report the first observation of $e^+e^-$ annihilations into hadronic states of positive $C$-parity, $\rho^0 \rho^0$ and $\phi\rho^0$. The angular distributions support two-virtual-photon annihilation production. We also report the…
We derive the amplitude for the process $e^+e^-\to \pi^0\pi^0$ at large invariant energy. The process goes through the two-photon exchange and its amplitude is expressed in terms of the convolution integral which depends on the shape of the…

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…
