We investigated the effect of the light fermion masses on cross sections for e^+e^- into 4 fermions in the Fermion Loop scheme defined in hep-ph/9612260, and approximations to it. The effects are found to be very small, except of course in…
We consider the differential cross section of electron-positron pair production by a high-energy photon in a strong Coulomb field close to the end of the electron or positron spectrum. When the momentum transfer largely exceeds the electron…

Recent analytic calculations on the rate for the production of a pair of massive fermions in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation plus real or virtual radiation of a pair of massless fermions are discussed. The contributions for real and virtual…
In the standard model, the top quark decay width \Gamma_t is computed from the exclusive t -> bW decay. We argue in favor of using the three body decays t-> bf_i\bar{f}_j to compute \Gamma_t as a sum over these exclusive modes. As dictated…
We summarize recent work in determining the transition form factor (TFF) of the neutral pion ($\pi^0 \to \gamma^*\gamma^*$), by solving the non-perturbative Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations. We first study the transition form…
The electroproduction of $K^+ \Lambda$ (1405) was studied by analyzing the E1F data set collected in Hall B at Jefferson Lab. The analysis utilized the decay channel $\Sigma^+ \pi^-$ of the $\Lambda$ (1405) and $p \pi^0$ of the $\Sigma^+$.…

In five years of operation (1996-2000) the four LEP2 experiments collected roughly 3 fb-1 of data from e+e- collisions at centre-of-mass energies between 161 and 207 GeV, yielding a total of about 40000 W-pair events. The analysis of the…
