We make a theoretical study of the charge and forward-backward pion asymmetries in the e+e- --> pi+ pi- gamma process on and off the phi resonance energy. These observables are rather sensitive to the inner details of the theoretical models…
The charge asymmetry in the process $e^+e^-\to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0\gamma$ is studied for photons with energies $\nu\ll\sqrt{s}$. The longitudinal polarization of electrons (positrons) is taken into account. The asymmetry arises due to…
The potential of DAPHNE to explore direct radiative decay $\phi \to \pi^+ \pi^- \gamma$ is studied in detail. Predictions of different theoretical models for this decay are compared. We find that it should be possible to discriminate…
The charge asymmetry induced by interference of amplitudes with $\sigma$ and $\rho$ mesons decaying to $\pi^+\pi^-$ pair created in the fragmentation region of proton, suggest to be a test of degeneration hypothesis of $\rho$ and $\sigma$…
We consider the forward-backward pion charge asymmetry for the e^{+}e^{-}\to\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\gamma process. At tree level we consider bremsstrahlung and double resonance contributions. Although the latter contribution is formally sub-leading,…
Effective three meson couplings, based in flavor U(3) quark-antiquark interactions, are considered to describe two light neutral axial meson Strong decays, $A \sim f_1(1285)$ and $f_{1S} (1420)$, and the charged rho meson decay in the…
Forward-backward (charge) asymmetry in the processes of $e^+e^-$ annihilation into a pair of charged pseudoscalar mesons is recalculated in the one-loop approximation. The exact dependence on the meson masses is taken into account. Results…
The study of the charge asymmetry of produced particles allows to investigate the interference of different production mechanisms and to determine new features of the corresponding amplitudes. In the process $e^- e^+ \to e^- e^+ \pi^+…
At the Frascati phi-factory DAPHNE the pion formfactor is measured by means of the 'radiative return', i.e. by using events in which one of the collider electrons (positrons) has radiated an initial state radiation photon, lowering in such…
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 interference between the Pomeron and possible odderon mechanisms of diffractive pi+pi- photoproduction results in charge asymmetry of the produced pions. The observation of charge asymmetry of pions at moderate M_{pi+pi-} will be an…
The scalar contributions to the radiative decays of light vector mesons into a pair of neutral pseudoscalars, $V\to P^0P^0\gamma$, are studied within the framework of the Linear Sigma Model. This model has the advantage of incorporating not…
We study in various chiral models the pion charge radius, $\pi_{e3}$ form factor ratio, $\pi^\circ \to \gamma \gamma$ amplitude, charge pion polarizabilities, $\gamma\gamma \to \pi^\circ \pi^\circ$ amplitude at low energies and the $\pi\pi$…
We study the radiative $\phi$ decay into $\pi^0 \pi^0 \gamma$ and $\pi^0 \eta \gamma $ taking into account mechanisms in which there are two sequential vector-vector-pseudoscalar or axial-vector--vector--pseudoscalar steps followed by the…
The complementarity between Chiral Perturbation Theory and the Linear Sigma Model is exploited to study $\pi^0\pi^0$ production in $\phi$ radiative decays, where the effects of the $f_0(980)$ scalar resonance, and those of its more…
The interference of Pomeron and Odderon amplitudes gives rise to a charge asymmetry in the diffractive electroproduction of a pi+pi- -pair. We calculate this charge asymmetry in perturbative QCD in the Born approximation and on the leading…
The radiative return offers the unique possibility for a measurement of the cross section of electron--positron annihilation into hadrons over a wide range of energies. The large luminosity of present phi- and B-factories easily compensates…
We improve the description of pion-photon interactions in the radiative return process $e^+e^-\to \pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ at the next-to-leading order by including the pion form factor in the Feynman rules. We present a general calculation of the…
Rare radiative decay $\phi\to\eta\pi^0\gamma$ was studied with SND detector at {VEPP-2M} electron-positron collider and its branching ratio was measured: $B(\phi\to\eta\pi^0\gamma)=(0.88\pm0.14\pm0.09)\cdot 10^{-4}$. Significant…
We study the rho^0 and phi decays into pi^+ pi^- gamma, pi^0 pi^0 gamma and phi into pi^0 eta gamma using a chiral unitary approach to deal with the final state interaction of the M M system. The final state interaction modifies only…
