Outline
1. Current status of the accuracy of the hadronic cross sections measurements. Inspection of the last generation experiments - CMD-2, SND & KLOE
2. Main sources of systematic errors: • Accelerator • Detector • Theory 3. What can we expect in the nearest future
4. Usage of space-like data to calculate VP operator (-q2)
5. Conclusion
Some features of CMD-2, SND and KLOE
experiments • Large data sample due to high integrated luminosity and
large detectors acceptance (calorimeter covers about 0.94). Every detector collected several millions +- events
• Multiple scan (up and down) of the same energy range to avoid possible systematic in energy determination: step (2E) = 10 MeV in the continuum and about 1 MeV near and peaks (CMD-2 and SND)
• Absolute calibration of beam energy using the resonance depolarization method (better than 10-4) negligible systematic error comes due to energy uncertainty (CMD-2 and SND)
• Good space resolution resulting in perfect momentum resolution (p/p ~ 0.4%, KLOE) powerful instrument for charged PID
• Excellent energy resolution at a few percent level (E/E ~ 4%, SND & KLOE) leads to small background & helps to separate events
Some features of CMD-2, SND and KLOE experiments
• Detection efficiencies and calorimeter response were studied
using “pure” experimental data rather than MC events (~2106
and meson decays have been used, CMD-2 & SND)
• Charged and neutral triggers for the same data sample – possibility to measure and monitor triggers efficiencies (CMD-2 & SND)
• Changing events selection criteria to check cross section
stability. All detectors carefully studied this item
• Cross check possibility – unstable particles detected via different decay modes (º→2, e+e-; →2, +-0, 30)
• MC generators based on differential cross sections with precise RC
for the processes of e+e- annihilation were developed (CMD-2 & KLOE)
• Efficiency is calculated via Monte Carlo + corrections for detector imperfections
• Integrated luminosity L
is measured using LAB events
• RC accounts for ISR effects only
• VP effects are included in cross section properties
• Ratio N(2)/N(ee) is measured directly detection inefficien-cies are cancelled out in part
• RC account for ISR and FSR effects
• Events separation procedure & analysis don’t rely on simulation
• Form factor is measured to better precision than L

Luminosity measurement
• Precision of luminosity measurement will be improved significantly due to better extraction of Bhabha events, increasing detection efficiency and more accurate calculation of the radiative corrections.
• Alternative method to measure luminosity based on the process e+e- γ γ. In that case Feynman graph does not contain VP effects. Powerful instrument to understand systematic. Source of error CMD-2 SND KLOE CMD-3

CMD-2 260 MeV
CMD-3320 MeV
• DC resolution will be 2.5 times better (already achieved)
• Magnetic field will be increased 1.5 times (already achieved)
• As a result π/μ/e separation based on momentum will be possible up to 2*320 MeV - practically to the peak
π/μ/e separation based on energy deposition

CMD-2
• Energy resolution of barrel part will be improved (8X0 15X0)
•π/e separation will be considerably better
•Part pions “looks” like muons will be suppress to the level 10% (was 25% at CMD-2) . We can try π/μ separation based on energy deposition
•Information of energy deposition in depth of calorimeter provides additional factor for π/µ separation
Fiducial volume
1. Z-chamber: In first approach we will have the same z-coordinate resolution the accuracy of the fiducial volume measurement will not change. At polar angles ~ 60° z ≈ 0.7 mm & system. shift is smaller 0.1 mm. For LAB events it leads to acceptance uncertainty about 0.2%
2. LXe calorimeter: For normal incident particles ~ 90° z ≈ 0.9 mm. The acceptance will be determined with the same accuracy. The capability for cross check will be in hand. Very possible we improve the measurement accuracy of the detector acceptance by factor of 1.5
We assume that fiducial volume will be determined at least with the same accuracy (or better) as we had at CMD-2
3. Huge statistics: Help to study systematic of z-coordinate determination in DC & to improve the accuracy of DC calibration procedure. Study in detail angular distributions of multi hadrons events to choose model for simulation
What we have currently and what we can expect in
the nearest future - theoretical aspects.• For all three detectors MC generators with precise RC were developed.
• Channel e+e- e+e-: BHWIDE (LEP, 0.5%), MCGPJ (CMD-2, 0.2%) photon jet radiation in collinear region, BabaYaga (KLOE, 0.5 0.1%) used parton shower approach. We plan to include NLO corrections and increase the accuracy of our MCGPJ to 0.1% level (for all other channels too). This work is in progress with Dubna, E.Kuraev et.al.
• Channel e+e- +-, +-: KKMC used in LEP experiments adopted for low energies, 0.1%, BUT for VP effects smooth approximation was applied. Resulting systematic accuracy is not better than 1% (out of & energy region). MCGPJ (CMD-2, 0.2%). Quite possible that in our case systematic uncertainty is better than 0.1%. B.Smith, M.Voloshin: PL B 324 – all enhanced second order corrections contribute not more than 0.02% and quickly decrease with energy increase
Radiative corrections
Radiative corrections
• Channel e+e- MCGPJ (CMD-2, 0.2%). This process has a big cross section. Very important channel for luminosity measurement – cross check possible. ISR only. Feynman graph does not contain VP effects.
• Channel e+e- +-, K+K-: MCGPJ (CMD-2, 0.2%). ISR & FSR are taken into account. Unfortunately there are no other MC generator with similar accuracy for comparison. Experimental and theoretical evidences are required to prove validity of sQED application for pions & kaons
• Channels with neutral particles in FS: e+e- KLKS, 0, ,
0. ISR are taken into account. MCGPJ (CMD-2, 0.2% or better). Very possible that accuracy is better than 0.1%
• VP effects currently are calculated with accuracy better than 0.05% (on with 0.5% & on - 0.15%) and do not contribute to final systematic error
Trigger & reconstruction efficiencies
Trigger efficiency close to 100%. Charged & neutral triggers for the same data sample – powerful instrument to monitor trigger stability and it’s real efficiency (CMD-2, KLOE & CMD-3)
Efficiency of track reconstruction in DC will be better than 98% with uncertainty <0.1% (CMD-3 & new SND)
Bremsstrahlung of electrons (positrons) on the wall of the machine vacuum chamber. At CMD-2 and SND we had correction about (0.5 0.05)% (s<1GeV). We (& SND) hope to have the same accuracy in experiments at VEPP-2000.
Optimization of selection criteria for collinear events: Polar angle – compromise for every detector, Threshold on transverse momentum of charged particles in DC, Choice of optimal acollinearity angle between tracks in DC Choice threshold on energy deposition in calorimeters and so on…
reconstruction – main source of systematic error for
processes with in FS. LXe calorimeter will significantly push down this error
Another way for aµ calculation
Special experiment is necessary to measure cross sections of ONLY THREE PURE QED PROCESSES : e+e- , for luminosity measurement (no VP effects, accuracy < 0.1%). BUT special calorim. is required to detect photon conversion point (LXe in CMD-3)
e+e- +- direct cross section measurement to extract |1 + (s)|² (accuracy < 0.1%). VP effects must be removed from RC. Effects of FSR and CI must be included into RC
SCAN EXPERIMENT: Luminosity ~ 1032 cm-2 s-1 ,~ 100 energy points with number of muon events 108 /per year (statistical accuracy about 0.1% in every point). Cross section has practically isotropic distribution vs polar angle

ConclusionsConclusions Despite decades of experiments, precise studies of e+e annihilation into hadrons at low energies are still interesting and can provide a lot of important information
● In a few years new precision data from CMD-3 and SND working at VEPP-2000 as well as with ISR at DAFNE and B–factories and BELLE are expected
● Progress is particularly expected for the channel e+e-→+-, where systematic uncertainty 0.3% or even better will be achieved
● MC generators were done : ee ee, BHWIDE (0.5%), MCGPJ (0.2%?!) and BabaYaga (0.1%) ee ,-, KKMC (0.1% adopted for low ener.), MCGPJ (0.2%) ee and K+K-, MCGPJ (0.2%?!) Only ISR is taken into account for processes with neutral particles in final state: ee , KlKs, 0,,’, 0, MCGPJ(0.2%) We can expect progress in theoretical improvement of the accuracy of RC calculation with pro mille accuracy
● Measurement of beam energy with relative accuracy better than 10-4 are extremely needed (resonance depolarization techniques only)
● To have enough statistic ~106 at every energy point (~100) machine with luminosity greater than 1032 cm-2s-1 in meson energy region is required
● To illuminate possible systematic error in hadronic cross sections more accurate and independent measurements (CMD-3 & SND) are necessitated
● Efforts of theorists are required to build models to describe in detail energy dependence of cross sections with 4 & more pions in FS
● CMD-3 and SND will measure hadronic cross sections with accuracy close to pro mille. DAFNE HEPr can provide independent measurement of the hadronic cross sections - valuable information for cross check accuracy with CMD-3 & SND
● Luminosity and trigger efficiency must be measured in different channels at the same data sample to arrange cross check for better study of systematic
● Usage of space-like data can help in understanding of systematic in hadronic contribution to aµ (in far future, JLAB)
