Precision measurement of the e+e- → K+K-(γ) cross section with the initial-state radiation method at BABAR

A precise measurement of the cross section for the process e+e−→K+K−(γ) from threshold to an energy of 5 GeV is obtained with the initial-state radiation (ISR) method using 232 fb−1 of data collected with the BABAR detector at e+e− center-of-mass energies near 10.6 GeV. The measurement uses the effe...
