Study of the process $e^+e^- to pi^+pi^-$ in the energy region 400<sqrt[]{s}<1000 MeV


Abstract in English

The cross section of the process e^+e^-to pi^+pi^- was measured in the SND experiment at the VEPP-2M collider in the energy region 400<sqrt[]{s}<1000 MeV. This measurement was based on about 12.4 times 10^6 selected collinear events, which include 7.4times 10^6 e^+e^-to e^+e^-, 4.5times 10^6 e^+e^-topi^+pi^- and 0.5times 10^6 e^+e^-tomu^+mu^- selected events. The systematic uncertainty of the cross section determination is 1.3 %. The rho-meson parameters were determined: m_rho=774.9pm 0.4pm 0.5 MeV, Gamma_rho=146.5pm 0.8pm 1.5 MeV, sigma(rhotopi^+pi^-)=1220pm 7pm 16 nb as well as the parameters of the G-parity suppressed decay omegatopi^+pi^-: sigma(omegatopi^+pi^-)=29.9pm 1.4pm 1.0 nb and phi_{rhoomega} = 113.5pm 1.3pm 1.7 degree.
