We explore the correspondence between the final state in e^+e^- annihilation and the small-x hadronic wavefunction in the transverse plane both in weakly coupled QCD and strongly coupled N=4 SYM. At strong coupling, the virtual and static…
We report the observation of prompt J/psi via double ccbar production from the e+e- continuum. In this process one ccbar pair fragments into a J/psi meson while the remaining pair either produces a bound charmonium state or fragments into…
We present preliminary measurements of B meson decays to omegapi+, omegaK+, and omegaK0. The data were recorded with the BABAR detector and correspond to 88.9x10^6 BBbar pairs produced in e+e- annihilation at the Upsilon(4S) resonance. We…

We report on the evidence for the decays B0 -> Ds+ pi- and B0 -> Ds- K+ and the results of a search for the decays B0 -> Ds*+ pi- and B0 -> Ds*-K+ from a sample of 84 million Upsilon(4S) decays into B meson pairs collected with the BABAR…
We report the first observation of $e^+e^- \to \rho^+\rho^-$, in a data sample of 379 $fb^{-1}$ collected with the BABAR detector at the {PEP-II} $e^+e^-$ storage ring at center-of-mass energies near $\sqrt{s} = 10.58 GeV. We measure a…
We consider the possibility of detecting vector resonances from a strong electroweak sector, in the framework of the BESS model, at future $e^+ e^-$ colliders up to the TeV range. If the mass $M_V$ of the new vector boson multiplet is not…
We report on measurements of the decays of $\overline{B}$ mesons into the semileptonic final states $\overline{B} \to D^{(*)} \pi^+\pi^- \ell^-\overline{\nu}$, where $D^{(*)}$ represents a $D$ or $D^*$ meson and $\ell^-$ is an electron or a…
We analyze the origin of the structures observed in the reactions $e^+e^-\to 3(\pi^+\pi^-)$, $2(\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0)$, $\omega\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$, and $e^+e^-\to 2(\pi^+\pi^-)\pi^0$ around the antiproton-proton ($\bar pp$) threshold. We calculate…
Decays of the Y(5S) resonance to channels with B^+ and B^0 mesons are studied using a 23.6 fb^-1 data sample collected on the Y(5S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e^+ e^- collider. The fully reconstructed…
The amplitudes for photoproduction of two pseudoscalars on a nucleon are expanded in the overall c.m. frame in a model independent way with respect to the contribution of the final state partial wave of total angular momentum $J$ and its…
We explore the usefulness of very energetic linear $e^+e^-$ colliders in the $TeV$ range in studying an alternative scheme of electroweak symmetry breaking based on a strong interacting sector. The calculations are performed within the BESS…

About 33, 6.5 and 1.0 pb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data were, respectively, taken around the center-of-mass energies of $\sqrt s=$ 3.773 GeV, at $\sqrt s=$ 3.650 GeV and at $\sqrt s=$ 3.6648 GeV with the BES-II detector at the BEPC…
We calculate the form factor and cross section of the excited charmonium production process $e^{+}+e^{-}\rightarrow \psi \left ( 2S \right )+\eta _{c}$ by light-cone sum rules. In our method, the form factor depends on the distribution…

Factorizable amplitudes in B decays to light vector meson pairs give a longitudinal polarization satisfying 1- f_L =O(1/m_b^2). This remains formally true when non-factorizable graphs are included in QCD factorization, and is numerically…
The mixing between nonstrange and strange quark wavefunctions in the $\omega$ and $\phi$ mesons leads to a small predicted branching ratio $\b(D_s^+ \to \omega e^+ \nu_e) = {\cal O}(10^{-4})(\delta/3.34^\circ)^2$, where $\delta$ is 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…
