A peculiar feature, observed in the BaBar data on e+e- -> baryon-antibaryon cross sections, is the non-vanishing cross section at threshold for all these processes. This is the expectation due to the Coulomb enhancement factor acting on a…
The general analysis of the differential cross section and various polarization observables is performed for the process $e^+ + e^- \to N + \bar N +\pi^0 $ assuming that the annihilation occurs through the exchange of one virtual photon.…
We study the kinetics of antibaryon production and annihilation in an expanding system, assuming that it is spatially homogeneous and chemically equilibrated at the initial stage. By solving simplified rate equations for (anti)baryon…
Recent measurements by the Belle Collaboration of the exclusive production of two charmonia in e^+ e^- annihilation differ substantially from theoretical predictions. We suggest that a significant part of the discrepancy can be explained by…
We apply the iterative numerical algorithm ALPHA, which automatically generates the N-point Green functions (as recently suggested \cite{alpha}) to the computation of the production rate of four fermions and four fermions plus photon in…
We present preliminary BaBar measurements of hadronic cross sections in $e^+e^-$ annihilation using the radiative return technique. The cross sections for $e^+e^- \to p\bar{p} $, $ 3(\pi^+\pi^-)$, $ 2(\pi^+\pi^-)2\pi^0$, and $…
Electroproduction of pions on the nucleon near the threshold is analyzed within the framework of baryon chiral perturbation theory. We give a thorough discussion of the low--energy theorems related to charged and neutral…
The lepton pair production via the quark-antiquark annihilation subprocess in collisions of beam antiproton with the proton target at E_beam = 14 GeV (which corresponds to the center-of-mass energy of the p pbar system E_cm = 5.3 GeV) is…
In the most recent measurements of the reaction $e^+e^- \rightarrow p\bar{p}$ by the BABAR collaboration, new structures have been found with unknown origin. We examine a possible relation of the most distinct peak to the recently observed…
Though the neutron mass is larger than the proton mass and obviously one expects in $e^+e^-$ annihilation a creation of more $p \bar p$ pairs in comparison with $n \bar n$ at the same energy, just the opposite inequality for the…
We measure the inclusive production cross sections of hyperons and charmed baryons from $e^+e^-$ annihilation using a 800 fb$^{-1}$ data sample taken near the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy…
The baryon-antibaryon spectrum consisting of strange, charm and bottom quarks is studied in the color flux-tube model with a multi-body confinement interaction. Numerical results indicate that many low-spin baryon-antibaryon states can form…
In this study, we introduce a novel approach aimed at addressing the longstanding baryon-anti-baryon asymmetry conundrum. Our proposed mechanism suggests that baryon numbers were generated during the inflationary epoch through the dynamics…
We consider the $\pi^+\pi^-\pi_0\gamma$ final state in electron-positron annihilation at cms energies not far from the threshold. Both initial and final state radiations of the hard photon is considered but without interference between…
The multiple hadron production in the events induced by the heavy primary quarks in $e^+e^-$ annihilation is reconsidered with account of corrected experimental data. New value for the multiplicity in $b\bar{b}$ events is presented on the…
Hyperon-antihyperon pairs produced in high energy electron-positron annihilation constitute a naturally spin-entangled system in the high energy regime. Recently, a probabilistic amplification of entanglement, termed autodistillation, has…

It is pointed out that the recent data on strange baryon and antibaryon production in Pb-Pb collisions at 159 GeV/c agree well with the hypothesis of an intermediate state of quasi-free and randomly distributed constituent quarks and…
The cross section near the $t\bar t$ production threshold in $e^+e^-$ annihilation and $\gamma\gamma$ collisions is discussed. The NNLO results within NRQCD are briefly overviewed.
We analyze the four-fermion reactions e+e- -> 4f containing a single top quark and three other fermions, a possible decay product of the resonant anti-top quark, in the final state. This allows us to estimate the contribution of the…
