EKHARA 3.0: an update of the EKHARA Monte Carlo event generator

The Monte Carlo event generator EKHARA was upgraded during last years. The upgrades presented here contain: a) the inclusion of new final states $e^+e^-\to e^+e^-η$, $e^+e^-\to e^+e^-η'$, $e^+e^-\to e^+e^- χ_{c_i} $ and $e^+e^-\to e^+e^- χ_{c_i} (\to J/ψ(\to μ^+μ^-)γ)$; b) new $γ^*-γ^*-P$ transition form factors and c) the radiative corrections to the reactions $e^+e^-\to e^+e^-P $. For the upgrades a) and b), we present here only the pieces missing in other publications, mostly algorithms used in the phase space generation. The radiative corrections are presented here for the first time. A new algorithm of the phase space generation for the reaction $e^+e^-\to e^+e^-P γ$ being its main part. A comparison with GGRESRC generator is presented. Big differences between the radiative corrections calculated by the EKHARA and the GGRESRC generators are observed.

$χ_{c1}$ and $χ_{c2}$ production at $e^+e^-$ colliders

Direct, resonant production of the charmonium states $χ_{c1}$ and $χ_{c2}$ in electron-positron annihilation is investigated. Depending on details of the model, a sizeable variation of the prediction for the production cross section is anticipated. It is demonstrated that resonant production could be observed under favorable circumstances.

Nucleon form factors and final state radiative corrections to $e^+e^-\to \bar p p γ$

New parametrisation for the electric and the magnetic form factors of proton and neutron are presented. The proton form factors describe well the recent measurements by BaBar collaboration and earlier ones of the ratio of the form factors in space-like region. The neutron form factors are consistent with earlier measurements of neutron pair production and ratio of the form factors in the space-like region. These form factors are implemented into the generator PHOKHARA, which simulates the reactions $e^+e^-\to \bar p p γ$ and $e^+e^-\to \bar n nγ$. The influence of final state radiation is investigated.

EKHARA - new gamma gamma generator

The Monte Carlo generator EKHARA allows to simulate the process (e+e- to e+e-pi0) at energies of meson factories. We review the motivation, describe the current status of the generator, and discuss features, which will appear in the forthcoming releases: the two-photon production of eta and eta-prime mesons.

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.

PHOKHARA 7.0 Monte Carlo generator: the narrow resonances implementation and new pion and kaon form factors

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 and psi(2S) can be investigated, with the interference between electromagnetic and hadronic amplitudes as one of the most interesting phenomenas. Parameterisations of charged and neutral kaon as well as pion form factors, which lead to an improved description of the data in the region of large invariant masses of the meson pair, are presented. They are implemented into the Monte Carlo generator PHOKHARA, together with the hadronic couplings of charged and neutral kaons to J/psi and psi(2S). The physics case as well as details of the implementation are discussed.

Narrow resonances studies with the radiative return method

Using the radiative return method, experiments at high luminosity electron-positron colliders allow to explore the kaon and the pion form factors in the time-like region up to fairly high energies. This opens the possibility to study kaon and pion pair production at and around the narrow resonances J/psi and psi(2S) and explore the interference between electromagnetic and hadronic amplitudes. Parameterizations of charged and neutral kaon as well as pion form factors are derived, which lead to an improved description of the data in the region of large invariant masses of the meson pair. These form factors are combined with the hadronic couplings of charged and neutral kaons to J/psi and psi(2S) and implemented into the Monte Carlo generator PHOKHARA, which is now, for the first time, able to simulate the production of narrow resonances and their decay into kaon, pion and muon pairs.

Strong and Electromagnetic J/psi and psi(2S) Decays into Pion and Kaon Pairs

A combined analysis of the electromagnetic pion and kaon form factors in the neighborhood of J/psi and psi(2S) and of the strong decay amplitude of these resonances into kaons is presented. In the presence of a large relative phase between strong and electromagnetic resonance amplitudes the branching ratio, as measured in electron-positron annihilation, receives an additional contribution from the interference between resonance and continuum amplitude neglected in earlier papers. Our study is model independent and does not rely on the SU(3) symmetry assumptions used in earlier papers. We note that the large relative phase between strong and electromagnetic amplitudes observed in earlier analyses is model dependent and relies critically on the specific assumptions on SU(3) symmetry and breaking.

Four-pion production in tau decays and e+e- annihilation: an update

An improved description of four-pion production in electron-positron annihilation and in tau lepton decays is presented. The model amplitude is fitted to recent data from BaBar which cover a wide energy range and which were obtained exploiting the radiative return. Predicting tau decay distributions from e+e- data and comparing these predictions with ALEPH and CLEO results, the validity of isospin symmetry is confirmed within the present experimental errors. A good description of two- and three-pion sub-distributions is obtained. Special emphasis is put on the predictions for omega pi (-> pi+pi-pi0) in e+e- annihilation and in tau decay. The model amplitude is implemented in the Monte Carlo generator PHOKHARA.

New developments in PHOKHARA Monte Carlo generator

The present status of the physics program, which led to the development of the Monte Carlo event generator PHOKHARA is described. The possibility of using the radiative return method in various aspects of hadronic physics, from the measurement of the hadronic cross section, to detailed investigations of the hadronic dynamics is emphasized. New results are presented showing how to measure baryon form factors using the knowledge of their spin in baryon-antibaryon production with subsequent decay.

A short review of both theoretical and experimental aspects of the radiative return method is presented with the emphasize on the results obtained within the EURIDICE network. It is shown that the method gives not only possibility of an independent from the scan method measurement of the hadronic cross section, but also can provide information concerning details of the hadronic interactions.

Spin asymmetries and correlations in lambda-pair production through the radiative return method

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 used to measure their spin and to analyze spin-spin correlations in the antilambda-lambda system. We evaluate the spin dependent hadronic tensor, which describes this reaction, calculate the corresponding cross section for e+e- -> antilambda lambda and e+e- -> antilambda lambda gamma with subsequent decays of lambda and antilambda and present a compact formula for the correlated distribution. We demonstrate that the relative phase between the electric and the magnetic form factor can be determined in this analysis by considering single spin asymmetries and correlated decay distributions. The reaction is implemented in the event generator PHOKHARA. It is demonstrated that the relative phase can be measured with the event sample presently accumulated at B-factories.

The radiative return method - a short theory review

A short review of the status of the theoretical developments concerning the radiative return method is presented. The emphasis is on the construction of the PHOKHARA Monte Carlo event generator and its tests. It is advocated that the radiative return method provides not only with the hadronic cross section extraction competitive with and complementary to the scan method, but also that it is a powerful tool in detailed studies of the hadron interactions.

Electron-positron annihilation into three pions and the radiative return

The Monte Carlo event generator PHOKHARA, which simulates hadron and muon production at electron-positron colliders through radiative return, has been extended to final states with three pions. A model for the form factor based on generalized vector dominance has been employed, which is consistent with presently available experimental observations.
