The measurement by the BES collaboration of J/psi -> gamma p pbar decays indicates an enhancement at the p-pbar threshold. In another experiment BES finds a peak in the invariant mass of pi-mesons produced in the possibly related decay…

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…

We study the process $e^+e^-\to J/\psi\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ with initial-state-radiation events produced at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy collider. The data were recorded with the BaBar detector at center-of-mass energies 10.58 and 10.54 GeV, and…

We review some recent studies of particle-antiparticle behaviour (including proton-antiproton) at high energies, which suggest a new short lived interaction between them. We then examine the latest evidence from the CDF team at Fermi Lab…

Complementary to the conventional experimental studies on $N^*$ from $\pi N$ and $\gamma^{(*)}N$ reactions, the $e^+e^-$, $pp$ and $p\bar p$ collisions can give novel insights into these $N^*$ resonances. While the $e^+e^-$ collisions…

BaBar has measured with unprecedented accuracy the e+e- --> ppbar cross section from the threshold up to Q^2 ~ 20 GeV^2/c^4, finding out an unexpected cross section, with plateaux and negative steps. Evidence for a ratio |G_E/G_M|>1 has…
