Description

Electron-positron scattering provides a model-independent test for the existence of neutral particles coupling to the e+e- field. This article reviews the effects of possible particle resonances X0 in the energy range between threshold and a few MeV on electron-positron scattering. The presentation focuses on theoretical aspects, but results of recent precision measurements of Bhabha scattering and e+e- annihilation in flight are also briefly surveyed. (author)
