The photon energy distribution in the inclusive b -> s+\gamma transitions is a combination of two components: the first component, soft physics, is determined by the so called primordial distribution function, while the second component,…
Exclusive proton-antiproton annihilation into two photons can be viewed as the Compton process in the crossed channel. At large s (~10 GeV^2) and |t|,|u| s this process can be described by a generalized partonic picture, analogous to the…
