Measurement of the Total Hadronic Cross Section in e+e- Annihilations below 10.56 GeV

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2010-04-08 v2

Abstract

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.
