Measurement of the pion form factor for M_(ππ)～2 between 0.1 and 0.85 GeV~2 with the KLOE detector

The KLOE experiment at the φ-factory DAΦNE has measured the pion form factor in the range between 0.1M_(ππ)～2 0.85 GeV2 using events taken at s～(1/2)=1 GeV with a photon emitted at large polar angles in the initial state.This measurement extends the M_(ππ)～2 region covered by KLOE ISR measurements of the pion form factor down to the two pion production threshold.The value obtained in this measurement of the dipion contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment of aμππ =(478.5±2.0stat±4.8syst±2.9theo)·10-10 further confirms the discrepancy between the Standard Model evaluation for aμ and the experimental value measured by the(g-2) collaboration at BNL.     

Measurements of the γγ＊ → π^0 and γγ＊ → ηc transition form factors at BABAR

We present measurements of the γγ＊ → π^0 transition form factor for the momentum transfer range Q^2=4-40 GeV^2 and the γγ＊ → ηc transition form factor for the range Q^2=2-50 GeV^2. The current status of measurements of the meson-photon transition form factors for the η and η＇ mesons is discussed. The results of the measurement of the ηc mass, total and two-photon widths are also presented.     

Study of the process e^＋e^- →π^＋π^-π^0π^0 at energies √s 〈 1 GeV

In an experiment with the Spherical Neutral Detector at VEPP-2M collider the cross section of the process e^＋e^- →π^＋π^-π^0π^0 was measured. At energies √s 〈 920 MeV this cross section was measured for the first time. The energy dependence of the cross section is well discribed by the vector dominance model with contributions from p, p＇, p＂ mesons. The decay probability ρ→π^＋π^-π^0π^0 was found to be Bρ = （1.60±0.74±0.18） × 10^-5. The upper limit for the decay ω→π^＋π^-π^0π^0 was improved by two orders of magnitude compared to the previous measurements and is Bω 〈 2 × 10^-4 at 90% confidence level.     

Measurement of the astrophysical S factor for the low energy ^2H（d,γ）^4He reaction

The γ-rays and protons from an Ed = 20 keV deuteron beam incident on a D-Ti target were measured. A branching ratio of the 2H（d,γ）^4He reaction versus the ^2H（d,p）^3H reaction of Гγ/Гp = （1.061 0.34） x 10.7 has been obtained, and the astrophysical S factor of the ^2H（d,γ）He reaction at the center of mass energy Ecm ≈ 7 keV of （6.0±2.4） ×10^6 keV.b was deduced.
