We discuss in detail the photon structure function beyond the leading logarithm approximation. Of special concern is the factorization scheme and the hadronic input; we show how to naturally absorb large terms due to the MSbar factorization…
If the $X(3872)$ is a weakly bound charm-meson molecule, it can be produced in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation by the creation of $D^{*0} \bar D^{*0}$ from a virtual photon followed by the rescattering of the charm-meson pair into $X$ and a photon.…

We discuss the production of hadrons in $e^+e^-$ collisions at $\sqrt s=91$ GeV. We address the question wether the particle yields measured in the final states are consistent with the statistical model predictions. In the model formulation…

We compute the cross section for exclusive production of a photon associated with a heavy quarkonium H of charge-conjugation parity C=+1 from e+ e- annihilation into a virtual photon at the center-of-momentum energy root-s=10.58 GeV. The…
We report the first observation of $e^+e^-$ annihilations into states of positive $C$-parity, namely $\rho^0 \rho^0$ and $\phi\rho^0$. The two states are observed in the $\pip\pim\pip\pim$ and $K^+K^-\pip\pim$ final states, respectively, in…
Dihadron fragmentation functions and their evolution are studied in the process of $e^+e^-$ annihilation. Under the collinear factorization approximation and facilitated by the cut-vertex technique, the two hadron inclusive cross section at…
A new framework is sketched for the treatment of the hadronisation of a highly-virtual quark and anti-quark jet pair created in electron-positron annihilations. As in such a case, factorization theorem does not work, a new scale-evolution…
