BES Recent Results and Future Plans

Abstract

We report the preliminary R values for all the 85 energy points scanned in the energy region of 2-5 GeV with the upgraded Beijing Spectrometer (BESII) at Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC). Preliminary results from the J/psi data collected with both BESI and BESII are presented. Measurements of the branching fraction of the psi(2S) decays and the psi(2S) resonance parameters are reported. The future plans, i.e. significantly upgrade the machine and detector are also discussed.Comment: Talk given at APPAC2000, 6 pages, 8 figure
