Abstract
The process e+e−→π+π−π0γ is studied at a center-of-mass energy near the ϒ(4S) resonance using a data sample of 469 fb−1 collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II collider. We have performed a precise measurement of the e+e−→π+π−π0 cross section in the center-of-mass energy range from 0.62 to 3.5 GeV. In the energy regions of the ω and ϕ resonances, the cross section is measured with a systematic uncertainty of 1.3%. The leading-order hadronic contribution to the muon magnetic anomaly calculated using the measured e+e−→π+π−π0 cross section from threshold to 2.0 GeV is (45.86±0.14±0.58)×10−10. From the fit to the measured 3π mass spectrum we have determined the resonance parameters Γ(ω→e+e−)B(ω→π+π−π0)=(0.5698±0.0031±0.0082) keV, Γ(ϕ→e+e−)B(ϕ→π+π−π0)=(0.1841±0.0021±0.0080) keV, and B(ρ→3π)=(0.88±0.23±0.30)×10−4. The significance of the ρ→3π signal is greater than 6σ. For the J/ψ resonance we have measured the product Γ(J/ψ→e+e−)B(J/ψ→3π)=(0.1248±0.0019±0.0026) keV.21 MoreReceived 4 October 2021Accepted 12 November 2021DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.104.112003Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.

Highlights
The process eþe− → πþπ−π01 has the second largest hadronic cross section after eþe− → πþπ− in the energy region below 1 GeV and is very important for the Standard Model calculation of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon aμ ≡ ðg − 2Þμ=2
We study the process eþe− → πþπ−π0γ, where the photon emission is caused by initial-state radiation
Signal and background initial-state radiation (ISR) processes are simulated by a Monte Carlo (MC) event generator based on the approach suggested in Ref. [14]
Summary
The process eþe− → πþπ−π01 has the second largest hadronic cross section after eþe− → πþπ− in the energy region below 1 GeV and is very important for the Standard Model calculation of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon aμ ≡ ðg − 2Þμ=2. The most precise measurements of the eþe− → πþπ−π0 cross section in the energy region of the ω and φ resonances were performed by the SND and CMD-2 Collaborations at the VEPP-2M eþe− collider [2,3,4,5]. The φ meson resonance the latest measurements come from the BABAR experiment [6], which used the initial-state radiation (ISR). There is a preliminary result from the BESIII experiment [8], which measured the eþe− → πþπ−π0 cross section in the energy range between 0.7 and. We require that the ISR photon be detected The goal of this analysis is to improve the accuracy of the eþe− → πþπ−π0 cross section measurement and the contribution of this process to aμ
