The measured cross section (K+K-) has a very large error.
We prefer to evaluate it using the formula

The MC generator used accounts for non negligible high pT values for e+e- and so for the , that is different from EPA predictions

Mmiss2 fits ~ 2%
With or without pT<100 MeV cut, related to the generated pT distribution for MC signal ~ 3%1 (no pT cut) = 0.209 ± 0.003

Conclusions
events have been observed in the same mass range of interest for other studies (see )
The cross section e+e-e+e-e+e- has been measured and found consistent with the EPA prediction even at small √s value compared with existing literatures
