Before we will continue with a discussion of the higher order hadronic contributions, we first present<br />

additional details about what precisely goes into the DR Eq. (109) and briefly discuss some issues concerning<br />

the determination of the required hadronic cross–sections.<br />

4.1.1. Dispersion Relations and Hadronic e + e− –Annihilation Cross Sections<br />

To leading order in α, the hadronic “blob” in Fig. 19 has to be identified with the photon self–energy<br />

function Π ′ had<br />

γ (s). The latter we may relate to the cross–section e + e− → hadrons by means of the DR<br />

Eq. (101) which derives from the correspondence Fig. 25 based on unitarity (optical theorem) and causality<br />

(analyticity), as elaborated earlier. Note that Π ′ had<br />

γ (q2 ) is a one particle irreducible (1PI) object, represented<br />

by diagrams which cannot be cut into two disconnected parts by cutting a single photon line. At low<br />

energies the imaginary part is related to intermediate hadronic states like π0γ, ρ, ω, φ, · · ·, ππ, 3π, 4π, · · ·,<br />
