We investigate the effects of resonance-continuum interference on the diphoton spectrum in the presence of a new spin-0 or spin-2 state produced via gluons or quarks and decaying to pairs of photons. Interference effects can significantly…
The subject of the charged-to-neutral yield ratio for B{\bar B} and D{\bar D}pairs near their respective thresholds in e^+e^- annihilation is revisited. As previously argued for the B mesons, this ratio should exhibit a substantial…
The e+e- annihilation data recorded with the BABAR detector has been used to study B^0 decays to Ds^(*)+ and D^*-$ mesons. The production fraction of inclusive Ds^(*)+ and the corresponding momentum spectra have been determined. Exclusive…
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…
New measurements of Ds+ and Ds*+ meson production rates from B decays and from qqbar continuum events near the Y(4S) resonance are presented. Using 20.8 fb-1 of data on the Y(4S) resonance and 2.6 fb-1 off resonance, we find the inclusive…
Using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.93~fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the BESIII detector at a center-of-mass energy of $3.773$ GeV, we present an analysis of the decays $\bar{D}^0\to\pi^+\pi^0 e^-\bar{\nu}_e$ and…

The production of heavy meson-antimeson pairs of the type $S\,V$ and $P \, A$ in $e^+e^-$ annihilation is considered, with $P$ and $V$ being the ground-state $J^P=0^-$ and $J^P=1^-$ (anti)mesons from the $(1/2)^-$ doublet, and $S$ and $A$…
We present evidence for small oscillations we observe in electron-positron and proton-antiproton annihilation data, with a periodicity of 76+-2 MeV, independent of the beam energy. We discuss some possible scenarios to explain the…

Vacuum polarization is a part of the initial-state radiative correction for the cross-section of $e^+e^-$ annihilation processes. In the energy region in the vicinity of narrow resonances $J/\psi$ and $\psi(3686)$, the vacuum polarization…

About 33, 6.5 and 1.0 pb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data were, respectively, taken around the center-of-mass energies of $\sqrt s=$ 3.773 GeV, at $\sqrt s=$ 3.650 GeV and at $\sqrt s=$ 3.6648 GeV with the BES-II detector at the BEPC…
