| dc.description | The study of the charge asymmetry of produced particles allows to investigate the interference of different production mechanisms and to determine new features of the corresponding amplitudes. In the process $e^- e^+ \to e^- e^+ π^+ π^-$ the two-pion system is produced via two mechanisms: two-photon (C-even state) and bremsstrahlung (C-odd state) production. We study the charge asymmetry of pions in a differential in the pion momenta cross section originating from an interference between these two mechanisms. At low effective mass of dipions this asymmetry is directly related to the s- and p-phases of elastic $ππ$ scattering. At higher energies it can give new information about the $f_0$ meson family, $f_2(1270)$ meson, etc. The asymmetry is expressed via the pion form factor $F_π$ and helicity amplitudes $M_{ab}$ for the subprocess $γ^*γ\to π^+π^-$ as $\sum G_{ab}{\rm Re}(F_π^*M_{ab})$ where we have calculated analytically the coefficients $G_{ab}$ for the region giving the main contribution to the effect. Several distributions of pions are presented performing a numerical analysis in a model with point-like pions. In the region near the dipion threshold the asymmetry is of the order of 1%. We show that with suitable cuts the signal to background ratio can be increased up to about 10%. | |
