$e^{+}{e}^{-}$ annihilation at low energies in analytic approach to QCD

Abstract

We begin with short review of the analytic approach (AA) to QCD recently developed and applied to the process of $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ annihilation into hadrons at low energies. Besides summary of the theoretical description of smeared experimental data for the $R$ cross-section ratio we give fresh analogous result for the corresponding Adler function, $D(Q^2)$, and demonstrate excellent agreement between the AA theoretical results and data in the low $Q^2$ region.
