Abstract

The literature of the past three years on the two-photon process for particle production

e^{\pm} + e^{-} \to e^{\pm} + γ^{*} + e^{-} + γ^{*} \to e^{\pm} + e^{-} + X

(where

X

is any

C = + state

) or

p + p \to X_{1} + γ^{*} + X_{2} + γ^{*} \to X_{1} + X_{2} + μ^{+} + μ^{-}

(where

X_{1}

X_{2}

are hadron states) is reviewed in some detail. Both the theoretical aspects and the experimental feasibility of various processes are discussed especially for experimentalists' convenience.
