We discuss the production of $D \bar{D}$ pairs in $e^+ e^-$ collisions, where $D$ refers to either $D^0$ or $D^+$. The continuum mechanism with the $t/u$-channel vector-meson $D^*$ exchanges are considered. The results of the calculation…
The energy dependence of the cross sections of $p\bar p$, $n\bar n$, and meson production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation in the vicinity of the $p\bar p$ and $n\bar n$ thresholds is studied. The proton-neutron mass difference and the $p\bar p$…
J/\psi production associated with a hard photon in e^+e^- annihilation, being of QED nature, is invastigated thoroughly in the paper. To show its influence on the observation of the color-octet singnature in the e^+e^- annihilation via…
We report the first observation of $e^+e^-$ annihilations into hadronic states of positive $C$-parity, $\rho^0 \rho^0$ and $\phi\rho^0$. The angular distributions support two-virtual-photon annihilation production. We also report the…
A simple model is proposed to explain the recently found wave-like enhancement of the $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ pair production near the threshold at the $e^-e^+$ annihilation, which allows extracting model-independent scattering parameters…
For the study of the structure of baryons it is necessary to investigate the production of a baryon pair in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. The baryon-antibaryon pair production at the electron-positron linear collider makes it possible to…
A coherent study of $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation into two ($\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$,$K^{+}K^{-}$) and three ($\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{0},\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\eta$) pseudoscalar meson production is carried out within the framework of resonance chiral theory in…
We argue that the recent CLEO-c data on $e^+e^-$ annihilation into pairs of charmed mesons at c.m. energy around 4.0 GeV are not well described by a single resonance $\psi(4040)$, but can be better understood if there is an additional…
The exclusive photoproduction of $e^+e^-$ pairs from nucleons close to the vector meson production threshold ($1.4<\sqrt s <1.8$ GeV) results from two main processes: the emission of Bethe-Heitler pairs and the photoproduction of $\rho^0$-…
We evaluate the cross section of the process $e^+e^- \to \gamma X(3872)$ in terms of the content of the $D^{*0} {\bar D}^0$ `molecular' component in the wave function of the resonance X(3872). If this component is dominating, the cross…
Contrary to the reaction pbar + p --> e+ e- with a high momentum incident antiproton on a free target proton at rest, in which the invariant mass M of the (e+ e-) pair is necessarily much larger than the (pbar p) mass, in the reaction pbar…
We analyze the origin of the structures observed in the reactions $e^+e^-\to 3(\pi^+\pi^-)$, $2(\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0)$, $\omega\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$, and $e^+e^-\to 2(\pi^+\pi^-)\pi^0$ around the antiproton-proton ($\bar pp$) threshold. We calculate…
We discuss possibilities of identifying open charm effects in direct production processes, and propose that direct evidence for the open charm effects can be found in $e^+ e^-\to J/\psi\pi^0$. A unique feature with this process is that the…

We argue that the recent BESIII data on the cross section for the process $e^+e^- \to \chi_{c0} \, \omega$ in the center of mass energy range 4.21 - 4.42 GeV can be described by the contribution of the known charmonium-like resonance…
The production of a $D\bar D$ meson-pair in antiproton-proton ($\bar p p$) annihilation close to the production threshold is investigated, with special emphasis on the role played by the $\psi$(3770) resonance. The study is performed in a…
We investigate the decay mechanisms in the Ds+ --> omega pi+ and Ds+ --> rho0 pi+ transitions. The naive factorization ansatz predicts vanishing amplitude for the Ds+ --> omega pi+ decay, while the Ds+ --> rho0 pi+ decay amplitude does have…
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…
We calculate the D-wave charmonium production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation at BELLE and BABAR at $\sqrt{s}=10.6$ GeV using the nonrelativistic QCD factorization formalism, including color singlet and color octet contributions. We analyze the…
