The radiative return at phi- and B-factories: FSR for muon pair production at next-to-leading order
Muon pair production through the radiative return is of importance for a
measurement of the hadronic production cross section in two ways: it provides
an independent calibration and it may give rise to an important background for
a measurement of the pion form factor. With this motivation the Monte Carlo
event generator PHOKHARA is extended to include next-to-leading order radiative
corrections to the reaction . Furthermore, virtual
ISR corrections to FSR from pions are introduced, which extends the
applicability of the generator into a new kinematical regime. Finally, the
effect of photon vacuum polarization is introduced into this new version of the
generator.Comment: 11 pages, 15 figure
Nucleon form factors, B-meson factories and the radiative return
The feasibility of a measurement of the electric and magnetic nucleon form
factors at -meson factories through the radiative return is studied. Angular
distributions allow a separation of the contributions from the two form
factors. The distributions are presented for the laboratory and the hadronic
rest frame, and the advantages of different coordinate systems are
investigated. It is demonstrated that values up to 8 or even 9 GeV
are within reach. The Monte Carlo event generator PHOKHARA is extended to
nucleon final states, and results are presented which include Next-to-Leading
Order radiative corrections from initial-state radiation. The impact of angular
cuts on rates and distributions is investigated and the relative importance of
radiative corrections is analysed.Comment: 9 pages, 11 figures. Final version to appear in Eur. Phys. J.
Simulation of electron-positron annihilation into hadrons with the event generator PHOKHARA
The precise determination of the cross section for electron-positron annihilation into hadrons is one of the central tasks of ongoing experiments at low energy colliders. These measurements have to be complemented by Monte Carlo generators which simulate a large number of final states and include higher order radiative corrections. With this motivation in mind the generator PHOKHARA is extended to version 8.0, thus allowing for the simulation of final states with zero, one or two real photons. At the same time corrections from the emission of one or two virtual photons are included, such that a full next-to-next-to leading order generator is available. The stability and consistency of the program is tested. The results (for muon-pair final states) are compared to the programs KKMC and MCGPJ and implications for the analysis of various hadronic final states are investigated
Two-photon form factors of the pi0, eta and eta-prime mesons in the chiral theory with resonances
We have developed a phenomenological approach which describes very well the
pi0, eta and eta-prime meson production in the two-photon interactions. The
simultaneous description of the pi0, eta and eta-prime meson two-photon form
factors is consistent with data in the space-like region. The obtained form
factors are implemented in the event generator EKHARA and the simulated cross
sections are presented. Uncertainties in the measured form factors coming from
the model dependence in Monte Carlo simulations are studied. The model
predictions for the form factor slopes at the origin are given and the high-Q2
limit is also discussed.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figures, 3 tables; two-column revtex4 styl

Mini-Proceedings of the 15th meeting of the Working Group on Rad. Corrections and MC Generators for Low Energies
The mini-proceedings of the 15th Meeting of the "Working Group on Rad.
Corrections and MC Generators for Low Energies" held in Mainz on April 11,
2014, are presented. These meetings, started in 2006, have as aim to bring
together experimentalists and theorists working in the fields of meson
transition form factors, hadronic contributions to and the
effective fine structure constant, and development of Monte Carlo generators
and Radiative Corrections for precision e+e- and tau physics.Comment: 21 pages, 7 contributions. Editors: S. E. Mueller and G. Venanzon
The radiative return at phi- and B-factories: FSR at next-to-leading order
The measurement of the pion form factor and, more generally, of the cross
section for electron--positron annihilation into hadrons through the radiative
return has become an important task for high luminosity colliders such as the
- or -meson factories. For detailed understanding and analysis of this
reaction, the construction of a Monte Carlo program, PHOKHARA, has been
undertaken. Version 2.0 was based on a next-to-leading order (NLO) treatment of
the corrections from initial-state radiation (ISR). In the present paper a
further extension of PHOKHARA (version 3.0) is described, which incorporates
NLO corrections to final-state radiation (FSR). The impact of combined ISR and
FSR on various distributions is investigated and methods are presented, which
will allow the extraction of the form factor, and even give access to inclusive
photon emission due to FSR. The dependence of the results on the model for FSR
is discussed and the impact of this contribution on the anomalous magnetic
moment of the muon is evaluated.Comment: 15 pages, 17 figures. Final version to appear in Eur. Phys. J.

How to Measure Chromo-magnetic Vacuum Background Field in , Hadron-Hadron and Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions
We propose a new type of the measurement which is sensitive to the QCD vacuum
color-magnetic fluctuations: A measure of the axial assymetry of the hadronic
final states produced in the high energy collisions is related to
the chromomagnetic vacuum field strength.Comment: 11 pages,latex,no figures,replaced,final version which takes into
account criticisms of referees of Phys.Rev. Title of the paper was changed.

improved the style and gramma
Extension and approximation of -subharmonic functions
Let be a bounded domain, and let be a
real-valued function defined on the whole topological boundary . The aim of this paper is to find a characterization of the functions
which can be extended to the inside to a -subharmonic function under
suitable assumptions on . We shall do so by using a function algebraic
approach with focus on -subharmonic functions defined on compact sets. We
end this note with some remarks on approximation of -subharmonic functions
