The cross section of the process e + e − → π + π − has been measured using about 114000 events collected by the CMD-2 detector at the VEPP-2M e + e − collider in the center-of-mass energy range from 0.61 to 0.96 GeV. Results of the pion form factor determination with a 0.6% systematic uncertainty are presented. The following values of the ρ-and ω-meson parameters were found: M ρ = (776.09± 0.81) MeV, Γ ρ = (144.46 ± 1.55) MeV, Γ(ρ → e + e − ) = (6.86 ± 0.12) keV, Br(ω → π + π − ) = (1.33 ± 0.25)%. Implications for the hadronic contribution to the muon
The process e + e − → π + π − π + π − π 0 has been studied in the center of mass energy range 1280 -1380 MeV using 3.0 pb −1 of data collected with the CMD-2 detector in Novosibirsk. Analysis shows that the cross section of the five pion production is dominated by the contributions of the ηπ + π − and ωπ + π − intermediate states.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
