Abstract
Initial State Radiation (ISR) plays an important role in e+e− collision experiments such as the BESIII. To correct the ISR effects in measurements of hadronic cross-sections of e+e− annihilation, an iterative method that weights simulated ISR events is proposed here to assess the efficiency of event selection and the ISR correction factor for the observed cross-section. The simulated ISR events were generated only once, and the obtained cross-sectional line shape was used iteratively to weigh the same simulated ISR events to evaluate the efficiency and corrections until the results converge. Compared with the method of generating ISR events iteratively, the proposed weighting method provides consistent results, and reduces the computational time and disk space required by a factor of five or more, thus speeding-up e+e− hadronic cross-section measurements.
