Abstract

A precise measurement of the cross section of the process e+e-→π+π-(γ) from threshold to an energy of 3 GeV is obtained with the initial-state radiation (ISR) method using 232  fb-1 of data collected with the BABAR detector at e+e- center-of-mass energies near 10.6 GeV. The ISR luminosity is determined from a study of the leptonic process e+e-→μ+μ-(γ)γISR, which is found to agree with the next-to-leading-order QED prediction to within 1.1%. The cross section for the process e+e-→π+π-(γ) is obtained with a systematic uncertainty of 0.5% in the dominant ρ resonance region. The leading-order hadronic contribution to the muon magnetic anomaly calculated using the measured ππ cross section from threshold to 1.8 GeV is (514.1±2.2(stat)±3.1(syst))×10-10.
