Title: Measurement of R Between 2-5 GeV
Abstract: We have obtained measurements of the total cross section for e+e-annihilation into hadronic final states for 6 energy points (2.6, 3.2,2.4, 3.55, 4.6, and 5.0 GeV) with the upgraded Beijing Spectrometer(BESII). We report preliminary values from this data and outline futureplans for a finer scan in the 2-5 GeV energy range.
