Study of the Process e+e- → π+π- in the Energy Region 400 < √(s)< 1000 MeV

Description

The cross section of the process e+e- → π+π- was measured in the spherical neutral detector experiment at the VEPP-2M collider in the energy region 400 < √(s)< 1000 MeV. This measurement was based on about 12.4 x 106 selected collinear events, which include 7.4 x 106 e+e- → e+e-, 4.5 x 106 e+e- → π+π-, and 0.5 x 106 e+e- → μ+μ- selected events. The systematic uncertainty of cross section determination is 1.3%. The ρ-meson parameters were determined as mρ = 774.9 ± 0.4 ± 0.5 MeV, Γρ = 146.5 ± 0.8 ± 1.5 MeV, and σ(ρ → π+π-) = 1220 ± 7 ± 16 nb and the parameters of the G-parity suppressed decay ω → π+π- as σ(ω → π+π-) = 29.9 ± 1.4 ± 1.0 nb and φρω = 113.5 ± 1.3 ± 1.7 deg
