New developments in PHOKHARA Monte Carlo generator

The present status of the physics program, which led to the development of the Monte Carlo event generator PHOKHARA is described. The possibility of using the radiative return method in various aspects of hadronic physics, from the measurement of the hadronic cross section, to detailed investigations of the hadronic dynamics is emphasized. New results are presented showing how to measure baryon form factors using the knowledge of their spin in baryon-antibaryon production with subsequent decay.
