We study the process $e^+e^-topsi(2S)pi^{+}pi^{-}$ with initial-state-radiation events produced at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy collider. The data were recorded with the BaBar detector at center-of-mass energies at and near the $Upsilon(mathrm{nS})$ (n = 2, 3, 4) resonances and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 520$fb^{-}$. We investigate the $psi(2S)pi^{+}pi^{-}$ mass distribution from 3.95 to 5.95 $GeV/c^{2}$, and measure the center-of-mass energy dependence of the associated $e^+e^-to psi(2S)pi^{+}pi^{-}$ cross section. The mass distribution exhibits evidence of two resonant structures. A fit to the $psi(2S)pi^{+}pi^{-}$ mass distribution corresponding to the decay mode $psi(2S)to J/psi pi^{+}pi^{-}$ yields a mass value of $4340 pm16$ (stat) $pm 9$ (syst) ${mathrm {MeV/c^{2}}}and a width of $94 pm 32$ (stat) $pm 13$ (syst) MeV for the first resonance, and for the second a mass value of $4669 pm 21$ (stat) $pm 3$ (syst) ${mathrm {MeV/c^{2}}}$ and a width of $104 pm 48$ (stat) $pm 10$ (syst) MeV. In addition, we show the $pi^{+}pi^{-}$ mass distributions for these resonant regions.

We study the process $e^+e^-to J/psipi^{+}pi^{-}$ with initial-state-radiation events produced at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy collider. The data were recorded with the BaBar detector at center-of-mass energies 10.58 and 10.54 GeV, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 454 $mathrm{fb^{-1}}$. We investigate the $J/psi pi^{+}pi^{-}$ mass distribution in the region from 3.5 to 5.5 $mathrm{GeV/c^{2}}$. Below 3.7 $mathrm{GeV/c^{2}}$ the $psi(2S)$ signal dominates, and above 4 $mathrm{GeV/c^{2}}$ there is a significant peak due to the Y(4260). A fit to the data in the range 3.74 -- 5.50 $mathrm{GeV/c^{2}}$ yields a mass value $4244 pm 5$ (stat) $ pm 4$ (syst)$mathrm{MeV/c^{2}}$ and a width value $114 ^{+16}_{-15}$ (stat)$ pm 7$(syst)$mathrm{MeV}$ for this state. We do not confirm the report from the Belle collaboration of a broad structure at 4.01 $mathrm{GeV/c^{2}}$. In addition, we investigate the $pi^{+}pi^{-}$ system which results from Y(4260) decay.
We report measurement of the cross section of $e^+e^-to pi^+pi^-psi(2S)$ between 4.0 and $5.5 {rm GeV}$, based on an analysis of initial state radiation events in a $980 rm fb^{-1}$ data sample recorded with the Belle detector. The properties of the $Y(4360)$ and $Y(4660)$ states are determined. Fitting the mass spectrum of $pi^+pi^-psi(2S)$ with two coherent Breit-Wigner functions, we find two solutions with identical mass and width but different couplings to electron-positron pairs: $M_{Y(4360)} = (4347pm 6pm 3) {rm MeV}/c^2$, $Gamma_{Y(4360)} = (103pm 9pm 5) {rm MeV}$, $M_{Y(4660)} = (4652pm10pm 8) {rm MeV}/c^2$, $Gamma_{Y(4660)} = (68pm 11pm 1) rm MeV$; and ${cal{B}}[Y(4360)to pi^+pi^-psi(2S)]cdot Gamma_{Y(4360)}^{e^+e^-} = (10.9pm 0.6pm 0.7) rm eV$ and ${cal{B}}[Y(4660)to pi^+pi^-psi(2S)]cdot Gamma_{Y(4660)}^{e^+e^-} = (8.1pm 1.1pm 0.5) rm eV$ for one solution; or ${cal{B}}[Y(4360)to pi^+pi^-psi(2S)]cdot Gamma_{Y(4360)}^{e^+e^-} = (9.2pm 0.6pm 0.6) rm eV$ and ${cal{B}}[Y(4660)to pi^+pi^-psi(2S)]cdot Gamma_{Y(4660)}^{e^+e^-} = (2.0pm 0.3pm 0.2) rm eV$ for the other. Here, the first errors are statistical and the second systematic. Evidence for a charged charmoniumlike structure at $4.05 {rm GeV}/c^2$ is observed in the $pi^{pm}psi(2S)$ intermediate state in the $Y(4360)$ decays.
The cross section for e^+e^- to pi^+pi^-J/psi between 3.8 and 5.5 GeV/c^2 is measured using a 548 fb^{-1} data sample collected on or near the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. A peak near 4.25 GeV/c^2, corresponding to the so called Y(4260), is observed. In addition, there is another cluster of events at around 4.05 GeV/c^2. A fit using two interfering Breit-Wigner shapes describes the data better than one that uses only the Y(4260), especially for the lower mass side of the 4.25 GeV enhancement.
A precise measurement of the cross section of the process $e^+e^-topi^+pi^-(gamma)$ from threshold to an energy of 3GeV is obtained with the initial-state radiation (ISR) method using 232fb$^{-1}$ of data collected with the BaBar detector at $e^+e^-$ center-of-mass energies near 10.6GeV. The ISR luminosity is determined from a study of the leptonic process $e^+e^-tomu^+mu^-(gamma)gamma_{rm ISR}$, which is found to agree with the next-to-leading-order QED prediction to within 1.1%. The cross section for the process $e^+e^-topi^+pi^-(gamma)$ is obtained with a systematic uncertainty of 0.5% in the dominant $rho$ resonance region. The leading-order hadronic contribution to the muon magnetic anomaly calculated using the measured $pipi$ cross section from threshold to 1.8GeV is $(514.1 pm 2.2({rm stat}) pm 3.1({rm syst}))times 10^{-10}$.
A combined fit is performed to the BaBar and Belle measurements of the e+e- to pi+pi-psi(2S) cross sections for center-of-mass energy between threshold and 5.5 GeV. The resonant parameters of the Y(4360) and Y(4660) are determined. The mass is 4355^{+9}_{-10}pm 9 MeV/c^2 and the width is 103^{+17}_{-15}pm 11 MeV/c^2 for the Y(4360), and the mass is 4661^{+9}_{-8}pm 6 MeV/c^2 and the width is 42^{+17}_{-12}pm 6 MeV/c^2 for the Y(4660). The production of the Y(4260) in pi+pi-psi(2S) mode is found to be at 2sigma level, and B(Y(4260) to pi+pi-psi(2S))Gamma_{e+e-} is found to be less than 4.3 eV/c^2 at the 90% confidence level, or equal to 7.4^{+2.1}_{-1.7} eV/c^2 depending on it interferes with the Y(4360) constructively or destructively. These information will shed light on the understanding of the nature of the Y states observed in initial state radiation processes.
