We calculate the $00^{++}$-wave two-meson spectra for the reactions $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^0\pi^0$, $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^+\pi^-$, $\gamma\gamma\to K^0\bar K^0$ and $\gamma\gamma\to K^+ K^-$ on the basis of: (i) the results of the $K$-matrix…
Within the framework of dispersion theory, we study the the processes $e^+e^-\to \phi(2170) \to \phi \pi\pi(K\bar{K})$. The strong pion-pion final-state interactions, especially the $K\bar{K}$ coupled channel in the $S$-wave, are taken into…
Using experimental spectral data for hadronic tau decays from the OPAL experiment, supplemented by a phenomenologically successful parameterization for the high-s region not covered by the data, we construct a physically constrained model…
Very recently, the {\it BABAR} Collaboration indicated that there exist an explicit enhancement structure near 2.2 GeV when focusing on the $e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^-$ process again, which inspires our interest in studying the production of…
The theoretical analysis of the $\gamma\gamma \to \pi^0\eta$ process is presented within the energy range up to 1.4 GeV. The $S$-wave resonance $a_0(980)$ is described involving the coupled channel dispersive framework and the $D$-wave…

The amplitude for the anomalous transitions gamma pi(+) -> pi(0) pi(+) is analyzed within Chiral Perturbation Theory including electromagnetic interactions. The presence of a t-channel one-photon exchange contribution induces sizeable e^2…

The cross section of the process $e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^-$ has been measured in the center of mass energy range from 0.32 to 1.2 GeV with the CMD-3 detector at the electron-positron collider VEPP-2000. The measurement is based on a full dataset…
The $\gamma\gamma\to\rho^0\rho^0\to 4 \pi$ reaction shows a broad "resonance"at 1.5 GeV with no counterpart in the $\rho^+\rho^-$ channel. This $(J^P,J_z)=(2^+,2)$, $I=0$, and $2$ resonance is considered as a candidate for a $qq\bar q\bar…

Hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) is not only a critical part of the Standard Model (SM) prediction for the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon $(g-2)_\mu$, but also a crucial ingredient for global fits to electroweak (EW) precision…
We study the processes e+ e- --> 3(pi+pi-)gamma, 2(pi+pi-pi0)gamma and K+ K- 2(pi+pi-)gamma, with the photon radiated from the initial state. About 20,000, 33,000 and 4,000 fully reconstructed events, respectively, have been selected from…
Numerous channels of the cross section e+e- --> hadrons have been measured by the BABAR experiment using the ISR method. For the pi+pi-(gamma) and K+K-(gamma) channels, BABAR has pioneered the method based on the ratio between the hadronic…
We reevaluate the hadronic vacuum polarisation contributions to the muon magnetic anomaly and to the running of the electromagnetic coupling constant at the Z-boson mass. We include newest e+e- to hadrons cross-section data (among others)…
I review the recent efforts to improve the precision of the prediction of the anomalous moment of the muon, in particular of the hadronic contribution of the vacuum polarization, which is the contribution with the largest uncertainty. Focus…

We study the pion electromagnetic and $\gamma^* + \pi^0 \to \gamma$ transition form factors at intermediate momentum transfer. We calculate soft, nonperturbative corrections to the leading perturbative amplitudes which arise from the $q\bar…
