The total cross section for hadron production by e+e− annihilation has been measured at center-of-mass energies between 2.4 and 5.0 GeV. Aside from the very narrow resonances ψ(3105) and ψ(3695), the cross section varies between 32 and 17 nb over this region with structure in the vicinity of 4.1 GeV.

The reactions e+e−→e+e− and e+e−→μ+μ− have been measured at center-of-mass energies 3.0, 3.8, and 4.8 GeV and production angles of 50°<θ<130° over all azimuthal angles. Agreement with quantum electrodynamics is excellent. New limits for cutoff parameters in quantum-electrodynamic-breakdown models are given.

We have observed a very sharp peak in the cross section for e+e−→hadrons, e+e−, and possibly μ+μ− at a center-of-mass energy of 3.105±0.003 GeV. The upper limit to the full width at half-maximum is 1.3 MeV.

Hadron Production by electron positron annihilation at 4-GeV center-of-mass energy

We have measured the total cross section for electron-positron annihilation into three or more hadrons, with at least two charged particles in the final state. The measurement was made at a center-of-mass energy of 4 GeV with a 2π−sr nonmagnetic detector. With 88 events detected, we obtain a model-independent lower limit on the hadron production cross section of 9.6 ± 1.4 nb; a calculation of detection efficiency based on invariant phase-space production of pions leads to a total cross section of 26 ± 6 nb. This cross section is 4.7 ± 1.1 times the theoretical total cross section for e+e−→μ+μ−. The average charged multiplicity is n¯=4.2±0.6.
