Abstract

We report new measurements of the production cross section for the reaction e+e-+- at s=29 GeV, as well as the topological decay branching fractions of the lepton. The data were taken with the High Resolution Spectrometer at the SLAC e+e- colliding-beam facility PEP. The measured cross section yields R=1.0440.0140.030 [where the first (second) error is statistical (systematic)], consistent with QED and corresponding to QED cutoff parameters of +>129 GeV and ->284 GeV at the 95% C.L. The fractions of decays into one and three charged particles are B1=0.8640.0030.003 and B3=0.1350.0030.003.
