Title: Prospects for R Measurement at BaBar Using Radiative Return

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/808700· OSTI ID:808700

A precise measurement of the ratio of hadron to muon production in e{sup +}e{sup -} collisions, denoted by R(s), is a necessary input for the interpretation of current precision electroweak measurements. We describe a method for measuring R(s) with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II B-factory using initial-state radiation events.
