The Handbag Contribution to Two-Photon Annihilation Into Meson Pairs

Abstract

We report on the handbag contribution to two-photon annihilation into pion and kaon pairs at large energy and momentum transfer. The underlying physics of the mechanism is outlined and characteristic features and predictions are presented.
