The cross section of the process e+e- -> pi+pi- has been measured at the CMD-2 detector in the 370-520 MeV center-of-mass (c.m.) energy range. A systematic uncertainty of the measurement is 0.7 %. Using all CMD-2 data on the pion form factor, the pion electromagnetic radius was calculated. The cross section of muon pair production was also determined.

The measured Born muon pair production cross section. Errors are statistical only.

The measured pion form factor. The errors are statistical only.

The measured bare PI+ PI- production cross section. This is corrected for radiative effects but excludes a correction for vacuum polarization effects. The errors are statistical only.
