Exclusive electroproduction of pion pairs
read the original abstract
We investigate electroproduction of pion pairs on the nucleon in the framework of QCD factorization for hard exclusive processes. We extend previous analyses by taking the hard-scattering coefficients at next-to-leading order in $\alpha_s$. The dynamics of the produced pion pair is described by two-pion distribution amplitudes, for which we perform a detailed theoretical and phenomenological analysis. In particular, we obtain constraints on these quantities by comparing our results with measurements of angular observables that are sensitive to the interference between two-pion production in the isoscalar and isovector channels.

Revealing chiral-odd two-meson generalized distribution amplitudes in $e^- e^+ \to (\pi \pi) (\pi \pi)$ reactions
The paper proposes using two-photon exchange interference in e+e- to (pi pi)(pi pi) to access chiral-odd dimeson GDAs that encode spin-orbit correlations in spin-zero mesons.
