 Solution

For the resonant contribution only, subtract nonresonant Bhabha scattering and its interference before interpreting a fitted area. The integrated narrow vector resonance area follows from the Breit-Wigner resonance cross section, with $J=1$, $s_{e^{-}}=s_{e^{+}}=1/2$, and $p\simeq M/2$, becomesAcross a narrow scattering resonance, treat the prefactor and partial decay widths as constant and extend the integral over $E-M$ to the real line. Since ${\int }_{-\infty }^{\infty }du/(u^2+a^2)=\pi /a$,A normalized beam-energy response convolves the line shape without changing this full area. It can completely change the observed peak height and apparent width. If a uniform acceptance $ϵ$ is not already unfolded, use ${\mathcal{I}}_{ee}={\mathcal{I}}_{ee}^{\mathrm{obs}}/ϵ$. The distinction between $B_{ee}^2$ for this exclusive final state and $B_{ee}$ for an inclusive final state is essential.
