Two-photon exchange effects in $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to {\pi }^{+}{\pi }^{-}$ at small $\sqrt{s}$

Abstract

In this work, the two-photon-exchange (TPE) effects in $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to {\pi }^{+}{\pi }^{-}$ at small $\sqrt{s}$ are discussed within a hadronic model. In the limit $m_e\to 0$, the TPE contribution to the amplitude can be described by one scalar function ${\overline{c}}_1^{(2\gamma )}$. The ratio between this function and the corresponding contribution in one-photon exchange $c_1^{(1\gamma )}$ reflects all the information of the TPE corrections. The numerical results on this ratio are presented and an artificial function is used to fit the numerical results. The latter can be used conveniently in the further experimental data analysis. The numerical results show the asymmetry of the differential cross sections in $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to {\pi }^{+}{\pi }^{-}$ is about $-4\%$ at $\sqrt{s}\sim 0.7$ GeV.
