Abstract

A program of measuring the light hadrons production in exclusive e+ee^+e^- to hadrons processes is in place at BaBar with the aim to improve the calculation of the hadronic contribution to the muon g2g-2. We present the most recent results obtained by using the full data set of about 514fb1514 \mathrm{fb}^{-1} collected by the BaBar experiment at the PEP-II e+ee^+e^- collider at a center-of-mass energy of about 10.610.6 GeV. In particular, we report the results on the channels e+eπ+π3π0e^+e^-\rightarrow \pi^+ \pi^- 3\pi^0, e+eπ+π2π0ηe^+e^-\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^- 2\pi^0\eta, and its resonant sub-states. These final states are studied in a wide mass range,from threshold production up to about 4GeV/c24 GeV/c^2. In addition to the cross-sections, twelve J/ψJ/\psi and ψ(2S)\psi(2S) branching fractions were measured with ten of them be a first-time measurement.
