We calculate the second-order QCD corrections to the forward-backward asymmetry in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. Using the quark axis definition, we do not agree with either existing calculation, but the difference relative to one of them is small…

In the fixed energy environment of the $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider DA$\Phi$NE, KLOE can measure the cross section of the process $e^{+}e^{-} \to$ hadrons as a function of the hadronic system energy using the radiative return. At energies below 1…
The process of $e^+ e^-$ annihilation into $\pi^+ \pi^-$ pair with radiation of the photon is considered. The amplitude of the reaction $e^+ e^- \to \pi^+ \pi^- \gamma$ consists of the model independent initial-state radiation (ISR) and…
The effects of the hadronisation of partons on the distribution of event shape observables are associated with corrections which are suppressed by reciprocal powers of the energy scale of the process. The correction is determined by one…
Electromagnetic form factors serve to explore the intrinsic structure of nucleons and their strangeness partners. For the decay $\Sigma^0\to\Lambda e^+e^-$, due to limited phase space, the effects caused by the Sigma-to-Lambda transition…
