We study the processes $e^+ e^-to K^+ K^- pi^+pi^-gamma$, $K^+K^-pi^0pi^0gamma$ and $K^+ K^- K^+ K^-gamma$, where the photon is radiated from the initial state. About 34600, 4400 and 2300 fully reconstructed events, respectively, are selected from 232 invfb of babar data. The invariant mass of the hadronic final state defines the effective epem center-of-mass energy, so that the $K^+ K^- pi^+pi^-gamma$ data can be compared with direct measurements of the $e^+ e^-to K^+K^- pipi$ reaction; no direct measurements exist for the $e^+ e^-to K^+ K^- pi^0pi^0$ or $epemto K^+ K^- K^+ K^-$ reactions. Studying the structure of these events, we find contributions from a number of intermediate states, and we extract their cross sections where possible. In particular, we isolate the contribution from $e^+ e^-tophi(1020) f_{0}(980)$ and study its structure near threshold. In the charmonium region, we observe the $J/psi$ in all three final states and several intermediate states, as well as the $psi(2S)$ in some modes, and measure the corresponding branching fractions. We see no signal for the Y(4260) and obtain an upper limit of $BR_{Y(4260)tophipi^+pi^-}cdotGamma^{Y}_{ee}<0.4 ev$ at 90% C.L.

We study the processes e+e- --> K+ K- pi+pi-gamma, K+ K- pi0pi0gamma, and K+ K- K+ K-gamma, where the photon is radiated from the initial state. About 84000, 8000, and 4200 fully reconstructed events, respectively, are selected from 454 fb-1 of BaBar data. The invariant mass of the hadronic final state defines the epem center-of-mass energy, so that the K+ K- pi+pi- data can be compared with direct measurements of the e+e- --> K+ K- pi+pi- reaction. No direct measurements exist for the e+e- --> K+ K-pi0pi0 or e+e- --> K+ K-K+ K- reactions, and we present an update of our previous result with doubled statistics. Studying the structure of these events, we find contributions from a number of intermediate states, and extract their cross sections. In particular, we perform a more detailed study of the e+e- --> phi(1020)pipigamma reaction, and confirm the presence of the Y(2175) resonance in the phi(1020) f0(980) and K+K-f0(980) modes. In the charmonium region, we observe the J/psi in all three final states and in several intermediate states, as well as the psi(2S) in some modes, and measure the corresponding product of branching fraction and electron width.
We study the processes $e^+ e^-to 2(pi^+pi^-)pi^0gamma$, $2(pi^+pi^-)etagamma$, $K^+ K^-pi^+pi^-pi^0gamma$ and $K^+ K^-pi^+pi^-etagamma$ with the hard photon radiated from the initial state. About 20000, 4300, 5500 and 375 fully reconstructed events, respectively, are selected from 232 fb$^{-1}$ of BaBar data. The invariant mass of the hadronic final state defines the effective $e^+ e^-$ center-of-mass energy, so that the obtained cross sections from the threshold to about 5 GeV can be compared with corresponding direct epem measurements, currently available only for the $etapi^+pi^-$ and $omegapi^+pi^-$ submodes of the $e^+ e^-to 2(pi^+pi^-)pi^0$ channel. Studying the structure of these events, we find contributions from a number of intermediate states, and we extract their cross sections where possible. In particular, we isolate the contribution from $e^+ e^-toomega(782)pi^+pi^-$ and study the $omega(1420)$ and $omega(1650)$ resonances. In the charmonium region, we observe the $J/psi$ in all these final states and several intermediate states, as well as the $psi(2S)$ in some modes, and we measure the corresponding branching fractions.
We study the processes $e^+ e^-to K^0_S K^0_Lpi^0gamma$, $K^0_S K^0_Letagamma$, and $K^0_S K^0_Lpi^0pi^0gamma$, where the photon is radiated from the initial state, providing cross section measurements for the hadronic final states over a continuum of center-of-mass energies. The results are based on 469~$fb^{-1}$ of data collected at or near the $Upsilon(4S)$~ resonance with the BaBar detector at SLAC. We present the first measurements of the $e^+ e^-to K^0_S K^0_Lpi^0$, $K^0_S K^0_Leta$, and $K^0_S K^0_Lpi^0pi^0$ cross sections up to a center-of-mass energy of 4~GeV, and study their intermediate resonance structures. We observe $J/psi$ decays to all of these final states for the first time, present measurements of their $J/psi$ branching fractions, and search for $psi(2S)$ decays.
The processes $e^+e^-to K^0_{scriptscriptstyle S}K^pmpi^{mp}pi^0$ and $e^+e^-to K^0_{scriptscriptstyle S}K^pmpi^{mp}eta$ are studied over a continuum of energies from threshold to 4 GeV with the initial-state photon radiation method. Using 454 fb$^{-1}$ data collected with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II storage ring, the first measurements of the cross sections for these processes are obtained. The intermediate resonance structures from $K^{*0}(Kpi)^0$, $K^{*}(892)^pm(Kpi)^mp$ and $K^0_{scriptscriptstyle S}K^pmrho^{mp}$ are studied. The $J/psi$ is observed in all of these channels, and corresponding branching fractions are measured.
Using $e^{+}e^{-}$ collision data samples with center-of-mass energies ranging from 2.000 to 2.644 GeV, collected by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, and with a total integrated luminosity of 300 pb^{-1}, a partial-wave analysis is performed for the process $e^{+}e^{-} to K^{+}K^{-}pi^{0}pi^{0}$. The total Born cross sections for the process $e^{+}e^{-} to K^{+}K^{-}pi^{0}pi^{0}$, as well as the Born cross sections f or the subprocesses $e^{+}e^{-} to phi pi^{0}pi^{0}$, $K^{+}(1460)K^{-}$, $K^{+}_{1}(1400)K^{-}$, $K^{+}_{1}(1270)K^{-}$ and $K^{*+}(892)K^{*-}(892)$, are measured versus the center-of-mass energy. The corresponding results for $e^{+}e^{-} to K^{+}K^{-}pi^{0}pi^{0}$ and $phi pi^{0}pi^{0}$ are consistent with those of BaBar and have much improved precision.By analyzing the cross sections for the four subprocesses, $K^{+}(1460)K^{-}$, $K^{+}_{1}(1400)K^{-}$, $K^{+ }_{1}(1270)K^{-}$ and $K^{*+}K^{*-}$, a structure with mass $M$ = (2126.5 $pm$ 16.8 $pm$ 12.4)~MeV/c^{2} and width $Gamma$ = (106.9 $pm$ 32.1 $pm$ 28.1)~MeV is observed with an overall statistical significance of 6.3 $sigma$, although with very limited significance in the subprocesses $e^{+}e^{-} to K^{+}_{1}(1270)K^{-}$ and $K^{*+}(892)K^{*-}(892)$. The resonant parameters of the observed structure suggest it can be identified with the $phi(2170)$, thus the results provide valuable input to the internal nature of the $phi(2170)$.
