Using the CLEO III detector, we measure absolute cross sections for e+e- --> hadrons at seven center-of-mass energies between 6.964 and 10.538 GeV. The values of R, the ratio of hadronic and muon pair production cross sections, are determined within 2% total r.m.s. uncertainty.

The total cross section of the processe+e− →hadrons has been measured in the center-of-mass energy range between 7.25 and 10.34 GeV using the MD-1 detector at the VEPP-4 collider. The ratioR=σ(e+e− →hadrons)/σ(e+e− →μ+μ−) was found to be constant in this energy range with the average value of 3.58±0.02±0.14.

The results of a search for narrow resonances ine+e− annihilation at centre-of-mass energies between 7.23 and 10.34 GeV are presented. The experiment was performed using the MD-1 detector at the VEPP-4 storage ring. The total luminosity integral of 16 pb−1 was taken. There is no evidence that new states exist. The upper limits on the leptonic widthΓee of possible resonances are less, by a factor of 10–80, than theΓee for the ϒ(1S) meson.
