We present EKHARA Monte Carlo event generator of reactions e+e- to e+e- pi0 and e+e- to e+e- pi+pi-. The newly added channel (e+e- to e+e-pi0) is important for gamma*gamma* physics and can be used for the pion transition form factor studies…

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…
The nonresonant mechanism in the reactions $e^+\,e^-\to \pi^-\,p\,\bar{n}$ and $e^+\,e^-\to \pi^+\,n\,\bar{p}$ is investigated in frame of the one-photon exchange approximation. The description of the hadronic phase space and the invariant…
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…
