Effects due to non-pointlike behaviour of pions in the process $e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ can arise for hard photons in the final state. By means of a Monte Carlo event generator, which also includes the contribution of the direct decay…
We derive the amplitude for the process $e^+e^-\to \pi^0\pi^0$ at large invariant energy. The process goes through the two-photon exchange and its amplitude is expressed in terms of the convolution integral which depends on the shape of the…
The process of electron-positron annihilation into a pair of $\pi^0$ and $\omega$ mesons is considered in the framework of the SU(2)$\times$SU(2) Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. Contributions of intermediate photons, $\rho(770)$ and…
We use a distorted wave approximation approach which includes $^3P_0$ and $^3S_1$ quark-antiquark annihilation mechanisms to reproduce the data set from LEAR on $\bar p p\to \pi^+\pi^-$ in the range from 360 to 1550 MeV/c. Improvements of…
To improve the accuracy of the e+e- -> pi+pi-gamma Radiative Return method, one has to control the theoretical uncertainty of the final-state photon emission. It is of particular importance at DAPHNE for the analysis, where cuts are relaxed…
The process of electron-positron pair production by a photon with subsequent annihilation to a single photon in a strong magnetic field has been studied. The general amplitude has been calculated and the process rate have been found in the…
The quark spin effects are introduced for the first time in the string fragmentation routine of the Pythia 8 Monte Carlo event generator for the simulation of $e^+e^-$ annihilation to hadrons. To describe the spin effects the…
We consider the production of $B^* \bar B^*$ meson pairs in $e^+e^-$ annihilation near the threshold. The rescattering due to pion exchange between the mesons results in a mixing between three partial wave amplitudes: two $P$-wave with the…
We show that, within a meson-exchange dynamical model describing most of the existing pion electromagnetic production data up to the second resonance region, one is also able to obtain a good agreement with the pi0 photo- and…
Pion photo- and electroproduction has been studied at threshold and in the resonance region below W=2GeV. At threshold pi^0 production can be very well explained within a dynamical model derived from an effective chiral Lagrangian. The…
We study, at leading order in the large number of colours expansion and within the Resonance Chiral Theory framework, the odd-intrinsic-parity $e^+ e^- \rightarrow \pi^+ \pi^- (\pi^0, \eta)$ cross-sections in the energy regime populated by…
A new statistical model for multiparticle production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation is proposed based on the idea of the longitudinal phase space with limited transverse momentum. The longitudinal rapidity space is divided into cells of equal…
The production of the light vector mesons $V = \rho, \omega, \phi$ in the reactions $\pi N \to V N$ and $N N \to V N N$ near threshold is studied. The subsequent electromagnetic decay $V \to \gamma^* \to e^+ e^-$ is particularly suited for…
We discuss the processes $\pi \pi \to \pi \pi$ and $\pi \pi \to \pi \pi \gamma$ from a general quantum field theory (QFT) point of view. We study the soft-photon limit where the photon energy $\omega \to 0$ and where we have the theorems…
Three-photon annihilation of the electron-positron pairs (= $(e^{-}, e^{+})-$pairs) is considered in the electron rest frame. The energy of the incident positron can be arbitrary. The analytical expression for the cross-section of…
The $\gamma\gamma\to\pi\pi$ reactions are discussed. To describe those processes, we include dipion continuum, resonances, high-energy pion-pion rescatterings, $\rho$ meson exchange and pQCD Brodsky-Lepage mechanisms. The cross section for…
We analyse the experimental data on near threshold $\pi$, $\eta$, $\omega$, $\eta'$ and $K^+$ production from $pp$ collisions and show that all information gained so far is compatible with approximately constant production matrix elements…
The effects of final-state interaction of hadrons, produced in $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation near the threshold, are discussed. If there is a loosely bound state or a virtual state in a system of produced hadrons, then the energy dependence of…
The cross section of the process $e^+e^-\to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ was measured in the Spherical Neutral Detector (SND) experiment at the VEPP-2M collider in the energy region $\sqrt[]{s}$ below 980 MeV. This measurement was based on about $1.2…
The Monte Carlo event generator PHOKHARA, which simulates hadron and muon production at electron-positron colliders through radiative return, has been extended to final states with three pions. A model for the form factor based on…
