  1. Study of e+e collisions with a hard initial state photon at BaBar E. Solodov (BINP, Novosibirsk) for the BaBar collaboration

  2. Initial state radiation (ISR) method ISR • High PEP-II luminosity at s = 10.58 GeV precise measurement of the e+e- cross section0at low c.m. energies with BaBar. • Improved hadron spectroscopy • Input to (gm-2) and aemcalculations. • Few previous data in the 1.4-3.0 GeV range. • Comprehensive program at BaBar. • Today: preliminary results for +0, 2+2, K+K+, 2K+2K from 89.3 fb-1

  3. ee 0  Event selection: Excited  states ? • Isolated ISR photon with ECM > 3 GeV • At least 2 good photons with E > 0.1 GeV • Two good, non-K tracks from IP Events/0.01 GeV/c2 Kinematic fit:  • Energy and momentum balance enforced • Mass of two soft photons constrained to 0 • 2 < 40 for fit in  0g hypothesis selects signal events • Reject events with extra photons if 2 < 40 for   0 0 g hypothesis J/

  4. Background for 3pg Most dangerous backgrounds: e+ e-  K+ K- 0 , e+ e-  qq  + - 0 0 Other backgrounds: e+e-  2, 4, 5, …, +-, 0 Two methods of background subtraction: • background mass distribution measured in data, subtracted bin-by-bin from signal mass distribution • taken from simulation, corrected to real experimentaldistribution MC Data Total background level: • (0.5 - 1.5)% in , regions • (15 - 50)% at higher masses • accuracy in background level ~25% up to 2 GeV

  5. Detection efficiency for 3 The detection efficiency (m): • determined from a Monte Carlo simulation that includes additional corrections extracted from special control event-samples • quite uniform in 0.5<m<3 GeV/c2 • systematic error currently ~4% - will be improved with more data

  6. Fit of the 0 mass spectrum • 3(m)- Born cross section of e+e-  + - 0 is a coherent sum of 4 resonances: , , , • R(m)~1 - radiative correction function from calculation • dL/dm - ISR luminosity taken from total integrated luminosity and photon radiator function W(s,x); (checked with mmgevents) • f(m,m) - detector resolutiontaken from simulation (with floating extra Gaussian smearing) • Fix, widths to PDG values • Fix -relative phase to experimental value(1637) • Fix-relative phase to180,  - to 0

  7. Fit results:  -  region  2/d.f.=146/148 consistent with known properties of these resonances (,  widths fixed to PDG values) f The resolution is about 6, 7, 9 MeV/c2 at , , J/ masses. Fitted resolution smearing is ~1 MeV/c2 BaBar PreliminaryPDG B(ee)B(3)=(6.700.06 0.27)10-5 (6.350.11)10-5 B(fee)B(f3) =(4.300.08 0.21)10-5(4.590.14)10-5

  8. Fit results: higher mass region   • Good fit obtained for the range up to 1.8 GeV/c2. • Extending the fit to masses above 1.8 GeV/c2 may require a more complicated fitting function taking into account non-resonant 3 production. • Mass and width parameters are dependent upon our assumed phases - interference effect is strong BaBar PreliminaryPDG B(ee)B(3)=(0.820.050.06)10-6 M()= 13502020 MeV/c21400 - 1450 ()= 4507070 MeV 180 - 250 B(ee)B(3)=(1.30.10.1)10-6 M()= 1660102 MeV/c21670  30 ()= 2303020 MeV 315  35

  9. e+ e-  + 0 cross section SND BaBar Preliminary DM2 • coverage of wide region in this experiment - no point-to-point normalization problems • consistent with SND data EC.M. < 1.4 GeV • inconsistent with DM2 results • overall normalization error ~5% up to 2.5 GeV

  10. J/  3 decay • The J/ meson is narrow - clean signal • After sideband subtraction - NJ/ = 92034 • Detection efficiency - =(9.20.6)% • The result: (J/ ee)B(J/ 3)= 0.1220.0050.08 keV • We previously measured (mmg) (J/ ee)=5.610.20 keV Events/0.004 GeV/c2 sideband sideband Phys.

  11. ee 22, KK ,2K2K Event selection: • Isolated ISR photon with ECM > 3 GeV • At least four good tracks from IP Kinematic fit: • Energy and momentum balance enforced • Energy and angles of hard ISR photon are not used - 1C fit • Fit in 3 hypotheses: 4 for all events 2K2if 1 or 2 identified kaons 4K if 2, 3 or 4 identified kaons Background subtraction: • Other ISR processes (5, …) – using difference in 2 distributions • e+e-  qq – using JETSET simulation

  12. ee 22cross section BaBar Preliminary Systematic errors: • 12% for m4 < 1 GeV, • 5% for 1 < m4 < 3 GeV, • 16% for higher masses) • best measurement above 1.4 GeV Coverage of wide region in one experiment No point-to-point normalization problems Intermediate states: • a1(1260) - dominant, structure which may be f0(1370) final state is seen. • For detailed study, a simultaneous analysis of 2+2-and+-20 final states is required.
