====== TTP03-29 The radiative return at phi- and B-factories: a Status Report ====== The measurement of the pion form factor and, more generally, of the cross section for electron--positron annihilation into hadrons through the radiative return has become an important task for high luminosity colliders such as the $\Phi$- or $B$-meson factories. For detailed understanding and analysis of this reaction, the construction of a Monte Carlo program, PHOKHARA, has been undertaken. Version 2.0 was based on a next-to-leading order (NLO) treatment of the corrections from initial-state radiation (ISR) and leading order final-state radiation (FSR). The most recent extension of PHOKHARA (version 3.0), which incorporates NLO corrections to FSR and the impact of combined ISR and FSR on selected distributions, is presented. |**Johann H.
