Abstract

A cross section of the process e+e−→KS0K±π∓π+π− has been measured for the first time using a data sample of 185.4 pb−1 collected with the CMD-3 detector at the VEPP-2000 e+e− collider. With the KS0→π+π− decay detection, 373±20 and 514±28 signal events have been selected with six and five reconstructed tracks, respectively, in the center-of-mass energy range 1.6–2.0 GeV. The total systematic uncertainty of the cross section is about 15%. A study of the production dynamics allows us to extract a contribution from the e+e−→f1(1285)π+π− intermediate state and to measure the corresponding cross section. The intermediate states with the f1(1420) and f1(1510) resonances have been observed.
