Abstract

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