High precision measurements of the form factors of proton, pion, and kaon for timelike momentum transfers of |Q^2|=s=14.2 and 17.4 GeV^2 have been made. Data taken with the CLEO-c detector at sqrt(s)=3.772 GeV and 4.170 GeV, with integrated luminosities of 805 pb^-1 and 586 pb^-1, respectively, have been used to study $e^+e^-$ annihilations into pi+pi-, K+K^-, and ppbar. The perturbative QCD prediction that at large Q^2 the quantity Q^2F(Q^2) for vector mesons is nearly constant, and varies only weakly as the strong coupling constant alpha_S(Q^2) is confirmed for both pions and kaons. In contrast, a significant difference is observed between the values of the corresponding pQCD suggested near-constant quantity, |Q^4|G_M(|Q^2|)/mu_p for protons at |Q^2|=14.2 GeV^2 and 17.4 GeV^2. The results suggest the constancy of |Q^2|G_M(|Q^2|)/mu_p, instead.

Search for baryon pairs production ine+e− annihilation at\(\sqrt s= 2386 MeV\) is reported. The data relate to a luminosity of 161 nb−1 collected by the DM2 experiment at DCI, the Orsay colliding ring. First measurements of directe+e− annihilation into\(\Lambda \bar \Lambda \) and ofe+e−→\(p\bar p\) at this energy are presented. First observation of a goode+e−→\(n\bar n\) candidate is reported and upper limits are given fore+e−→\(n\bar n, \Lambda \bar \sum ^0+ c.c.\) and\(\Sigma ^0 \bar \Sigma ^0 \).
