Measurement of ee×Bμμ for (2S) meson
Abstract
The product of the electronic width of the (2S) meson and the branching fraction of its decay to the muon pair was measured in the e+e- (2S) μ+μ- process using nine data sets corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 6.5 pb-1 collected with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M electron-positron collider: \[ ee×Bμμ = 19.3 0.3 0.5 ~eV. \] Adding the previous KEDR results on hadronic and leptonic channels, the values of the (2S) electronic width were obtained under two assumptions: either with the assumption of lepton universality \[ ee = 2.279 0.015 0.042 ~keV \] or without it, summing up hadronic and three independent leptonic channels: \[ ee = 2.282 0.015 0.042 ~keV. \]
