Description

The excitation function for Bhabha scattering was reinvestigated in the energy range between 775 and 840 keV (c.m.) in 1.4 keV steps using a monoenergetic e+-beam and a high-resolution kinematic coincidence detector device. Corroborating our previous results, no resonance was observed around 1.8 MeV/c2 up to an improved upper limit of 0.5 b.eV/sr (c.m.) for the energy-integrated differential cross section (97% C.L.). The data rule out the existence of a resonance with a cross section of 5.0 b.eV/sr, recently reported elsewhere. (orig.)
