We improve the description of pion-photon interactions in the radiative return process $e^+e^-\to \pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ at the next-to-leading order by including the pion form factor in the Feynman rules. We present a general calculation of the…
Experiments at high luminosity electron-positron colliders allow to study the kaon and the pion form factors in the time-like region up to high energies. Also the kaon and the pion pair production at and around the narrow resonances J/psi…
Electron-positron annihilation into hadrons plus an energetic photon from initial state radiation allows the hadronic cross-section to be measured over a wide range of energies. The full next-to-leading order QED corrections for the…
A review of the status of the Monte Carlo event generator PHOKHARA, developed for experiments using the radiative return method. The four-pion production in electron-positron annihilation and in tau-lepton decays and the narrow resonances…
At the Frascati phi-factory DAPHNE the pion formfactor is measured by means of the 'radiative return', i.e. by using events in which one of the collider electrons (positrons) has radiated an initial state radiation photon, lowering in such…
Predictions for the radiative return with the muon pair and pion pair final state from KKMC and PHOKHARA Monte Carlo programs are compared and discussed. The case of muon pairs is well understood, especially of the initial state radiation…
Recently it has been demonstrated that particle factories, such as DAPHNE and PEP-II, operating at fixed center-of-mass energies, are able to measure hadronic cross sections as a function of the hadronic system energy using the raditive…
Exclusive baryon pair production through the radiative return is a unique tool to determine the electric and the magnetic form factors in the timelike region over a wide range of energies. The decay of lambda-baryons into p + pi- can be…
The investigation of events with Initial State Radiation (ISR) and subsequent Radiative Return has become an impressively successful and guiding tool in low and intermediate energy hadron physics with electron positron colliders: it allows…
Contributions from the reaction e+e- --> pi+pi- e+e- to the pion form factor measurement via radiative return method are discussed basing on the results of a Monte Carlo generator (EKHARA). The generator contains contributions from the…
A precise measurement of the ratio of hadron to muon production in e^+e^- collisions, denoted by R(s), is a necessary input for the interpretation of current precision electroweak measurements. We describe a method for measuring R(s) with…
Final state radiation (FSR) in pion--pair production cannot be calculated reliably because of the composite structure of the pions. However, FSR corrections have to be taken into account for a precise evaluation of the hadronic contribution…
The present-day experimental situation concerning nucleon form factors in the space-like region shows a substantial discrepancy between measurements via the Rosenbluth method and the recoil polarisation technique. More information about…
Higgs boson properties could be studied with a high accuracy at a muon collider via the s-channel resonant production. We consider the situation where the center-of-mass energy of the muon collider is off the resonance above the Higgs mass.…
New, accurate measurements of the pion and kaon electromagnetic form factors are expected in the near future from experiments at electron-positron colliders,using the radiative return method. We construct a model for the timelike pion…
We apply the light-cone technique to electroproduction reaction $ep\to e\pi^+n$ long considered as a means of measuring the electromagnetic form factor of the pion. We show that the interpretation of the long-standing puzzle of large…
The pion form factor plays a crucial role in the determination of the contribution of the hadronic vacuum polarisation to the muon anomalous magnetic moment. In order to measure this quantity, energy-scan experiments rely on Monte Carlo…
The study of radiative phi decays into scalar mesons, with subsequent decay into pi pi gamma, constitutes an important topic at the electron-positron collider DAPHNE. The interference of the respective amplitude with the one for pi+ pi-…
An extension of the QED 'return to resonance' mechanism to light meson emission ($\pi$, $\rho$) in (anti)proton collisions with a hadronic target (nucleon or nucleus) is proposed. The cross section and the multiplicity distributions are…
In this letter we will argue that the event-by-event fluctuations of the ratio of positively over negatively charged pions provides a measurements of the number of rho and omega mesons right after hadronization. This finding can be utilized…
