We discuss two processes, the $\pi N \to e^+e^- N$ and the $\gamma N \to e^+e^- N$ reactions, below and close to the vector meson production threshold ($1.40<\sqrt s <1.75$ GeV). The aim is to gain understanding of the coupling of vector…

The invariant mass spectra of e+e- pairs produced in 12-GeV proton-induced nuclear reactions are measured at the KEK Proton-Synchrotron. On the low-mass side of the omega meson peak, a significant enhancement over the known hadronic sources…

We present a description of the production of a di-lepton pair (through Z boson and virtual photon) in association with at least two jets. This calculation adds to the fixed-order accuracy the dominant logarithms in the limit of large…

The $\rho^0-\omega$ interference has been studied in the dilepton invariant mass distribution spectra in the photonuclear reaction, but that is not done for the gamma-nucleon reaction. Recent past, the $e^+e^-$ invariant mass distribution…

Preliminary estimates suggest that excess dimuon production with invariant mass in the range 1.5 -- 2.5 GeV in nucleus-nucleus collisions can be explained on the basis of $\eta_c$ production. This appears to be consistent with all the…

We study the process $e^- + e^+ \to e^+ + e^+ + e^- + e^-$ for ILC and CLIC energy regimes, in the minimal 3-3-1 model framework. The main contributions, for the production of two bileptons each one decaying into two same-sign leptons, come…

The process e+e- -> gamma gamma (gamma) is studied using data collected by the OPAL detector at LEP between the years 1997 and 2000. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 672.3pb-1 at centre-of-mass energies lying between…
