Abstract: (Elsevier)
We have measured the reaction e + e − → e + e − at the ϒ Using athe excess of electron pairs over the QED expectation we obtain an electronic branching ratio of B ee = (5.1 ± 3.0) %. Combining this with publishe values of the muonic branching ratio B μμ we conclude that the ϒ is a narrow state with a total width < 180 keV at 95% C.L.
