R value measurements at BESIII
Abstract
The $R$ value is defined as the ratio of the leading-order cross-section of hadron muon pair production in electron-positron annihilation. It is crucial for the precise determination of several quantities in the Standard Model (SM), including the QED running coupling constant evaluated at the Z-boson pole and the muon magnetic moment ($a_\mu$), where the current uncertainties are dominated by hadronic vacuum polarization, that cannot be calculated using perturbative theory at low energy regions. This paper presents a discussion of the current status of $R$ measurements at BESIII based on $e^+e^-$ annihilations detected at the BESIII detector within an energy range of 2.23 to 3.67 GeV.
