Initial State Radiation Physics at the B Factories

Description

A mini-review of the recent BaBar and Belle results on the process e+e- → hadrons using the initial state radiation (ISR) technique, is presented. ISR studies at the Υ(4s) resonance (B-Factories) can yield to the same observables as the low energy e+e- experiments: Precise cross-section measurements, the R ratio (ratio of cross-sections of hadron production to di-muon production) measurement, form factors measurements (from hadron pair production such as e+e- → p(bar p), Λ(bar Λ), Λ(bar Σ), Σ(bar Σ)), as well as JPC = 1-- hadron spectroscopy that can lead to the discovery of new states
