Polarization effects in the reaction e++e−→ρ++ρ−e^++e^-\to \rho^+ +\rho^- and determination of the ρ−\rho - meson form factors in the time--like region

The electron positron annihilation reaction into four pion production has been studied, through the channel $e^++e^-\to \bar \rho+\rho$. The differential (and total) cross sections and various polarization observables for this reaction have been calculated in terms of the electromagnetic form factors of the corresponding $\gamma^*\rho\rho$ current. The elements of the spin--density matrix of the $\rho -$meson were also calculated. Numerical estimations have been done, with the help of phenomenological form factors obtained in the space--like region of the momentum transfer squared and analytically extended to the time-like region.Comment: 19 pages, 2 figures, to appear in Phys Rev

Polarization effects in e++e−→dˉ+de^+ +e^-\to \bar d+d and determination of time like deuteron form factors

Polarization effects in the reaction $e^++e^-\to \bar d+d$ have been investigated for the case of longitudinally polarized electron beam and arbitrary polarization of the produced deuteron, with the aim of a determination of the time-like complex deuteron electromagnetic form factors. General expressions of polarization observables are derived and numerical estimations have been carried out by means of various models of deuteron electromagnetic form factors, for kinematical conditions near threshold.Comment: 19 pages, 3 figure
