We revisit the procedure for comparing the pi pi spectral function measured in tau decays to that obtained in e+e- annihilation. We re-examine the isospin-breaking corrections using new experimental and theoretical input, and find improved agreement between the tau- --> pi- pi0 nu_tau branching fraction measurement and its prediction using the isospin-breaking-corrected e+e- --> pi+pi- spectral function, though not resolving all discrepancies. We recompute the lowest order hadronic contributions to the muon g-2 using e+e- and tau data with the new corrections, and find a reduced difference between the two evaluations. The new tau-based estimate of the muon magnetic anomaly is found to be 1.9 standard deviations lower than the direct measurement.

Via a Bayesian likelihood analysis using 219 recent cosmic ray spectral data points we extract the anomalous part of the cosmic $e^pm$ flux. First we show that a significant tension exists between the $e^pm$ related and the rest of the fluxes. Interp reting this tension as the presence of an anomalous component in the $e^pm$ related data, we then infer the values of selected cosmic ray propagation parameters excluding the anomalous data sample from the analysis. Based on these values we calculate background predictions with theoretical uncertainties for PAMELA and Fermi-LAT. We find a statistically significant deviation between the Fermi-LAT $e^-+e^+$ data and the predicted background even when (systematic) uncertainties are taken into account. Identifying this deviation as an anomalous $e^pm$ contribution, we make an attempt to distinguish between various sources that may be responsible for the anomalous $e^pm$ flux.

The BaBar collaboration has an extensive program of studying hadronic cross sections in low-energy e+e- collisions, accessible via initial-state radiation. Our measurements allow significant improvements in the precision of the predicted value of the muon anomalous magnetic moment. These improvements are necessary for illuminating the current ~3.6 sigma difference between the predicted and the experimental values. We have published results on a number of processes with two to six hadrons in the final state. We report here the results of recent studies with final states that constitute the main contribution to the hadronic cross section in the energy region between 1 and 3 GeV, as e+e- to K+K-, pi+pi-, and e+e- to 4 hadrons.

We have measured the cross section $sigma(e^+e^-topi^+pi^-gamma(gamma))$ at DA$Phi$NE, the Frascati phi-factory, using events with initial state radiation photons emitted at small angle and inclusive of final state radiation. We present the analysis of a new data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 240 pb$^{-1}$. We have achieved a reduced systematic uncertainty with respect to previously published KLOE results. From the cross section we obtain the pion form factor and the contribution to the muon magnetic anomaly from two pion states in the mass range $0.592 < M_{pipi} < 0.975$ GeV. For the latter we find $Delta a^{pipi}_mu = (387.2pm0.5_{rm stat}pm2.4_{rm exp}pm2.3_{rm th})times 10^{-10}$
We present a detailed study, done in the framework of the INFN 2006 Roadmap, of the prospects for e+e- physics at the Frascati National Laboratories. The physics case for an e+e- collider running at high luminosity at the phi resonance energy and als o reaching a maximum center of mass energy of 2.5 GeV is discussed, together with the specific aspects of a very high luminosity tau-charm factory. Subjects connected to Kaon decay physics are not discussed here, being part of another INFN Roadmap working group. The significance of the project and the impact on INFN are also discussed. All the documentation related to the activities of the working group can be found in http://www.roma1.infn.it/people/bini/roadmap.html.
We have measured the ratio $sigma(e^+e^-rightarrowpi^+pi^-gamma)/sigma(e^+e^-rightarrow mu^+mu^-gamma)$, with the KLOE detector at DA$Phi$NE for a total integrated luminosity of $sim$ 240 pb$^{-1}$. From this ratio we obtain the cross section $sigma( e^+e^-rightarrowpi^+pi^-)$. From the cross section we determine the pion form factor $|F_pi|^2$ and the two-pion contribution to the muon anomaly $a_mu$ for $0.592<M_{pipi}<0.975$ GeV, $Delta^{pipi} a_mu$= $({rm 385.1pm1.1_{stat}pm2.7_{sys+theo}})times10^{-10}$. This result confirms the current discrepancy between the Standard Model calculation and the experimental measurement of the muon anomaly.
