The role of sigma(e+e- -> hadrons) in precision tests of the Standard Model

Abstract

I present a summary of recent developments as they have been discussed in the many interesting contributions to the workshop SIGHAD03 at Pisa.

10 pages, 5 figures, 1 table, presented at SIGHAD03: Worskhop on Hadronic Cross Section at Low Energy, Pisa, Italy, October 8-10, 2003
