We discuss the puzzling experimental results on baryon-antibaryon production in e+e- annihilation close to the threshold, in particular the fact that sigma(e+e- --> nbar n) >~ sigma(e+e- --> pbar p). We discuss an interpretation in terms of…
In this paper we consider the process of "subthreshold" electron-positron pairs creation in the region of laser conversion. The total number of positrons and their distribution are obtained. This phenomena is offered for use as a good test…
We present the results of the tree-level calculation of inclusive two-hadron production in electron-positron annihilation via one photon up to subleading order in 1/Q. We consider the situation where the two hadrons belong to different,…
We consider the electron-positron annihilation process into hadrons $R_{e^+e^-}$ up to $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_{s}^{3})$ and we adopt the smearing method suggest by Poggio, Quinn and Weinberg to confront the experimental data with theory. As a…
The total energy and other bound state properties of the ground (bound) $1^{1}S$-state in the Ps$^{-}$ (or $e^{-}e^{+}e^{-}$) ion are determined to very high accuracy. Our best variational energy for the ground state in this ion equals $E$…

We report results on studies of the e+e- annihilation into three-body Y(nS)pi+pi- (n=1,2,3) final states including measurements of cross sections and the full amplitude analysis. The cross sections measured at sqrt(s)=10.865 GeV and…
A search has been performed for the semileptonic decays $D^{0}\to K_{S}^{0} K^{-} e^{+}\nu_{e}$, $D^{+}\to K_{S}^{0} K_{S}^{0} e^{+}\nu_{e}$ and $D^{+}\to K^{+}K^{-} e^{+}\nu_{e}$, using $7.9~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data…
