description

Measurements of the R ratio are closely related to two pre quantities, the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (g - 2), and the value of the electromagnetic fine structure constant [Formula: see text]. Hadronic contributions to both quantities can be derived via dispersion integrals, using experimental R data as input. For the phenomenological evaluations of these contributions, different energy ranges of hadronic cross section data are required. At BES-III, Initial State Radiation (ISR) from an existing Ψ(3770) dataset will be used for measurements of hadronic cross sections below [Formula: see text], while for higher energies a dedicated energy scan program will be performed up to [Formula: see text].
