Abstract
We propose to use events with radiated photons in e(+)e(-) collisions to me asure the total cross section of e(+)e(-)-->hadrons as a function of the ce nter of mass energy. The Monte Carlo simulation for the collider DAPHNE sho ws that a competitive accuracy can be achieved with this method. (C) 1999 E lsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
