Abstract
Recent BABAR results on two-photon processes are presented. A high statistics study of the two-photon production of the charmonium states eta_c and eta_c(2S) is performed. The mass and width of eta_c and eta_c(2S) are measured; the ratio of the decay probabilities to KS K+pi- and K+K-pi+pi-pi0 are determined. The latter mode is studied for the first time. The reactions e+e- --> e+e- gamma* gamma* --> e+e- + pseudoscalar meson are studied in the single-tag mode for pi0, eta, eta', and eta_c. From the measured differential cross sections the Q^2 dependencies of the photon-meson transition form factors are extracted. From these measurements we conclude that the pion distribution amplitude strongly differs from the distribution amplitudes of eta and eta' mesons.
