Abstract
Cross sections for e+e- → hadrons, π+π-J/ψ, and μ+μ- have been measured in the vicinity of the ψ(2S) resonance using the BESII detector operated at the BEPC. The ψ(2S) total width; partial widths to hadrons, π+π-J/ψ, leptons; and corresponding branching fractions have been determined to be Γt = 264 ± 27 keV; Γh = 258 ± 26 keV, Γπ+π-J/ψ = 85.4 ± 8.7 keV, and Γl = 2.44 ± 0.21 keV; and Bh = (97.79 ± 0.15)%, Bπ+π-J/ψ = (32.3 ± 1.4)%, and Bl = (0.93 ± 0.08)%, respectively.
