Study of e^+e^- → pp via initial-state radiation at BABAR
Abstract
The process e^+e^-→pp γ is studied using 469 fb^(-1) of integrated luminosity collected with the BABAR detector at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, at an e^+e^- center-of-mass energy of 10.6 GeV. From the analysis of the pp invariant mass spectrum, the energy dependence of the cross section for e^+e^-→pp is measured from threshold to 4.5 GeV. The energy dependence of the ratio of electric and magnetic form factors, |G_E/G_M|, and the asymmetry in the proton angular distribution are measured for pp masses below 3 GeV. The branching fractions for the decays J/ψ→pp and ψ(2S)→pp are also determined.
