Using the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M $e^+e^-$ collider, we have determined the values of $R$ at thirteen points of the center-of-mass energy between 1.84 and 3.05 GeV. The achieved accuracy is about or better than $3.9%$ at most of the energy points with a systematic uncertainty less than $2.4%$.
The present work continues a series of the KEDR measurements of the $R$ value that started in 2010 at the VEPP-4M $e^+e^-$ collider. By combining new data with our previous results in this energy range we measured the values of $R_{text{uds}}$ and $R
$ at nine center-of-mass energies between 3.08 and 3.72 GeV. The total accuracy is about or better than $2.6%$ at most of energy points with a systematic uncertainty of about $1.9%$. Together with the previous precise $R$ measurement at KEDR in the energy range 1.84-3.05 GeV, it constitutes the most detailed high-precision $R$ measurement near the charmonium production threshold.
Using the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M $e^+e^-$ collider, we have measured the values of $R_{text{uds}}$ and $R$ at seven points of the center-of-mass energy between 3.12 and 3.72 GeV. The total achieved accuracy is about or better than $3.3%$ at mos
t of energy points with a systematic uncertainty of about $2.1%$. At the moment it is the most accurate measurement of $R(s)$ in this energy range.
We report results of a search for narrow resonances in e+ e- annihilation at center-of-mass energies between 1.85 and 3.1 GeV performed with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M e+ e- collider. The upper limit on the leptonic width of a narrow resonance
Gamma(R -> ee) Br(R -> hadr) < 120 eV has been obtained (at 90 % C.L.).
We report a new precise determination of the leptonic widths of the J/psi meson performed with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider. The measured values of the J/psi parameters are: Gamma_{ee}timesGamma_{ee}/Gamma = 0.3323 pm 0.0064
(stat.) pm 0.0048 (syst.) keV Gamma_{ee}timesGamma_{mumu}/Gamma=0.3318 pm 0.0052 (stat.) pm 0.0063 (syst.) keV. Assuming $emu$ universality and using the table value of the branching ratios the leptonic Gamma_{ll}= 5.59 pm 0.12 keV width and the total Gamma=94.1 pm 2.7 keV widths were obtained. We also discuss in detail a method to calculate radiative corrections at a narrow resonance.
The product of the electronic width of the $J/psi$ meson and the branching fractions of its decay to hadrons and electrons has been measured using the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M $e^+e^-$ collider. The obtained values are: $Gamma_{ee}(J/psi) = 5.550
pm 0.056 pm 0.089 , text{keV}, $ $Gamma_{ee}(J/psi) cdot mathcal{B}_text{hadrons}(J/psi) = 4.884 pm 0.048 pm 0.078 , text{keV}, $ $Gamma_{ee}(J/psi) cdot mathcal{B}_{ee}(J/psi) = 0.3331 pm 0.0066 pm 0.0040 , text{keV}.$ The uncertainties shown are statistical and systematic, respectively. Using the result presented and the world-average value of the electronic branching fraction, one obtains the total width of the $J/psi$ meson: $Gamma = 92.94 pm 1.83 , text{keV}.$ These results are consistent with the previous experiments.
