Abstract

Recent theory results on direct production of resonances with positive charge conjugationin electron-positron annihilation are reviewed. The strong modeldependence is emphasized, with predictions varying between 0.03 eV and 0.43 eV for the charmonium state with J^PC = 1⁺⁺ and between0.16 eV and4.25 eV for the state with J^PC =2⁺⁺. For the state with J^PC = 0⁺⁺ the cross section is of O $\left({{\displaystyle m}}_e^2/{{\displaystyle M}}_x^2\right)$ and thus negligeable for all practical purpose. The importance of the relative phase of the production amplitude is emphasized.
