We review the theoretical ideas and tools required to arrive at a next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) description of the heavy quark-antiquark production cross section in $e^+e^-$ annihilation for the case that the center of mass kinetic…
We show that the production rates of light-flavoured mesons and baryons in inelastic pp and p$\bar{p}$ collisions can be described by a simple approach used to describe data obtained in $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation. Based on the idea of string…
We propose a scenario that generates the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe through a multi--step phase transition in which SU(3) color symmetry is first broken and then restored. A spontaneous violation of $B-L$ conservation leads…
Fragmentation functions of pion, kaon, and nucleon are determined by global analyses of hadron-production data in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. It is particularly important that uncertainties of the fragmentation functions are estimated for the…

Non-zero width and Coulomb rescattering effects are analyzed for the pair production of smuons and selectrons near the thresholds in e+ e- and e- e- collisions, respectively. The excitation curves are predicted in a gauge-invariant form.…

We compute fermion pair production cross sections in $e^+e^-$ annihilation in models of electroweak symmetry breaking in warped 5-dimensional space. Our analysis is based on a framework with no elementary scalars, only gauge bosons and…
Processes of electron-positron annihilation into a pair of fermions were considered. Forward-backward and left-right asymmetries were studied, taking into account polarization of initial and final particles. Complete 1-loop electroweak…
Using recent BABAR, CMD-3 and SND data, the sum of $e^+e^- \to 3(\pi^+\pi^-), 2(\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0), p\bar{p}, n\bar{n}$ cross sections is obtained. Unlike $e^+e^- \to 3(\pi^+\pi^-)$ and $e^+e^- \to 2(\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0)$ processes, no structures…
Inclusive production cross sections of $\pi^\pm$, $K^\pm$ and $p\bar{p}$ per hadronic $e^+e^-$ annihilation event in $e^+e^-$ are measured at a center-of-mass energy of 10.54 GeV, using a relatively small sample of very high quality data…
Measurements of heavy quark production in electron-positron collisions are used to analyse the strong interactions between quarks and anti-quarks. A scaling behaviour is observed in distributions of the rapidity change of D*, B*, and B…
Antinucleon production in heavy ion collisions is potentially an excellent signal for unusual phenomena in hot and dense matter. However, at the low energies available at the AGS the annihilation process must be handled with care. In this…
Heavy hadron production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation is studied in the framework of heavy-quark recombination mechanism. This mechanism predicts a new type of 3-jet event such as $b\bar{b}q$ or $b\bar{b}\bar{q}$, which is power-suppressed…
The origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe is one of the major unsolved problems in cosmology and particle physics. In this paper, we investigate the recently proposed possibility that split fermion models -- extra…

We present a review to the recent works related to interpreting the exotic particle X(1835) reported by BES as a $N\bar{N}$-baryonium in the Skyrme model. There are two evidences that support this interpretation: 1) There exist a classical…
The process $e^+e^-\to n\bar{n}$ has been studied at the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider with the SND detector in the energy range from threshold up to 2 GeV. As a result of the experiment, the $e^+e^-\to n\bar{n}$ cross section and effective…
The role of baryon-antibaryon annihilation during the hadronic stage of a relativistic heavy ion collision is explored by simulating the chemical evolution of a hadron gas. Beginning with a chemically equilibrated gas at an initial…
