A novel method of studying e þ e À annihilation into hadrons using initial state radiation at e þ e À colliders is described. After a brief history of the method, its theoretical foundations are considered. Numerous experiments in which exclusive cross sections of e þ e À annihilation into hadrons below the center-of-mass energy of 5 GeV have been measured are presented. Some applications of the experimental results to fundamental tests of the standard model are listed.

The new experiment planned at Brookhaven to measure the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon a µ ≡ (g µ − 2)/2 will improve the present accuracy of 7 ppm by about a factor of 20. This requires a careful reconsideration of the theoretical uncertainties of the g −2 predictions, which are dominated by the error of the contribution from the light quarks to the photon vacuum polarization. This issue is crucial also for the precise determination of the running fine structure constant at the Z-peak as LEP/SLC experiments continue to increase their precision. In this paper we present an updated analysis of the hadronic vacuum polarization using all presently available e + e − data. This seems to be justified because previous work on the subject was based to some extent on preliminary or incomplete experimental data. Contributions from different energy ranges are presented separately for g −2 of the muon and the τ -lepton and for α(M 2 Z ). We obtain the results a had * µ = (725±16)×10 −10 and a had * τ = (351 ± 10) × 10 −8 , where the asterisk indicates the dressed (renormalization group improved) value. For the effective fine structure constant at M Z = 91.1888 GeV we obtain ∆α (5) had = 0.0280 ± 0.0007 and α(M 2 Z ) −1 = 128.896 ± 0.090. Further improvement in the accuracy of theoretical predictions which depend on the hadronic vacuum polarization requires more precise measurements of e + e − cross-sections at energies below about 12 GeV in future experiments.
