We use the SHERPA Monte Carlo generator to simulate the process $e^+e^-rightarrowmbox{hadrons}$ using matrix elements with up to six partons in the final state. Two samples of SHERPA events are generated. In the LO sample, all final states are generated with leading order matrix elements; in the NLO sample, matrix elements for final states with up to four partons are generated at next-to-leading order, while matrix elements for final states with five or six partons are generated at leading order. The resulting samples are then passed through the ALEPH detector simulation. We compare the Monte Carlo samples to each other, to samples generated using the KK2f generator interfaced with PYTHIA, and to the archived ALEPH data at both LEP1 and LEP2 energies. We focus on four-jet observables with particular attention given to dijet masses. The LO and NLO SHERPA samples show significant improvement over the KK2f generation for observables directly related to clustering events into four jets, while maintaining similar performance to KK2f for event-shape variables. We additionally reweight the dijet masses using LEP1 data and find that this greatly improves the agreement between the three Monte Carlo samples at LEP2 energies for these observables.

We perform two tunes of the SHERPA Monte Carlo generator for the generation of $e^+e^-rightarrowmbox{hadrons}$ using the publicly-available LEP analyses in Rivet. In each of these tunes, we generate events at $sqrt{s}=91.25mbox{ GeV}$ using matrix el ements for final states containing up to six partons. In the first, LO tune, matrix elements for all final states are generated at leading order; in the second, NLO tune, matrix elements for final states with up to four partons are generated at next-to-leading order using BlackHat, while those for states with five and six partons are generated at leading order. The tunes are accomplished using Professor, and comparisons with unfolded LEP1 and LEP2 data are produced with Rivet. We also compare the data with events generated with KK2f interfaced to PYTHIA using the standard ALEPH tune. We find that both SHERPA samples show improvement relative to KK2f for observables related to four-jet final states, while all three samples produce comparable results for event-shape variables. Overall, the agreement with data is best for the LO tune. We provide our tuning parameters and many data-Monte Carlo comparisons.
A measurement of the vector to pseudoscalar conversion decay $phi to pi^0 e^+e^-$ with the KLOE experiment is presented. A sample of $sim 9500$ signal events was selected from a data set of 1.7 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collisions at $sqrt{s} sim m_{phi} $ collected at the DA$Phi$NE $e^+e^-$ collider. These events were used to obtain the first measurement of the transition form factor $| F_{phi pi^0}(q^2) |$ and a new measurement of the branching ratio of the decay: $rm{BR},(phi to pi^0 e^+e^-) = (,1.35 pm 0.05^{,,+0.05}_{,,-0.10},) times 10 ^{-5}$. The result improves significantly on previous measurements and is in agreement with theoretical predictions.
New results of the e+e- -> pi+pi-, K+K-, K_SK_L, pi0/gamma, eta0/gamma processes cross section measurements are presented. The results are based on the 30 pb^-1 data, accumulated by SND detector at VEPP-2M e+e- collider in the energy range sqrt(s)=0. 4-1.4 GeV during 1995-2000 years. The comparison with existing experimental data shows that the measurement accuracy is close to or better than the world average. For the e+e- -> pi+pi- process the accuracy is about 0.01. This is important for calculation of hadronic contribution into the muon anomalous magnetic moment.
Results of the SND experiment at the VEPP-2M e+ e- collider on the QED processes e+ e- --> e+ e- gamma and e+ e- --> e+ e- gamma gamma with production at large angles are presented. Energy and angular distributions of the final particles were studied . No deviations from QED with an accuracy of 3.8% for the first process and 10.3% for the second were found.
We investigate an excess observed in hadronic events in the archived LEP2 ALEPH data. This excess was observed at preselection level during data-MC comparisons of four-jet events when no search was being performed. The events are clustered into four jets and paired such that the mass difference between the two dijet systems is minimized. The excess occurs in the region $M_1+M_2sim 110mbox{ GeV}$; about half of the excess is concentrated in the region $M_1sim 80mbox{ GeV}$, $M_2sim 25mbox{ GeV}$, with a local significance between $4.7sigma$ and $5.5sigma$, depending on assumptions about hadronization uncertainties. The other half of the events are in a broad excess near $M_1sim M_2sim 55mbox{ GeV}$; these display a local significance of $4.1-4.5sigma$. We investigate the effects of changing the SM QCD Monte Carlo sample, the jet-clustering algorithm, and the jet rescaling method. We find that the excess is remarkably robust under these changes, and we find no source of systematic uncertainty that can explain the excess. No analogue of the excess is seen at LEP1.
