The collimation $C$ of a hadronic event in the e^+e^- annihilation is defined as the average of $\cos\theta$, $C=<\cos\theta>$, where $\theta$ is the angle of each hadron measured from the thrust axis, and the average is over all the…
Using the upgraded Beijing Spectrometer (BESII), we have measured the total cross section for $e^+e^-$ annihilation into hadronic final states at center-of-mass energies of 2.6, 3.2, 3.4, 3.55, 4.6 and 5.0 GeV. Values of $R$,…
