Abstract

The processes e+eKS0K±ππ0e^+e^-\to K^0_{\scriptscriptstyle S}K^\pm\pi^{\mp}\pi^0 and e+eKS0K±πηe^+e^-\to K^0_{\scriptscriptstyle S}K^\pm\pi^{\mp}\eta are studied over a continuum of energies from threshold to 4 GeV with the initial-state photon radiation method. Using 454 fb1^{-1} data collected with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II storage ring, the first measurements of the cross sections for these processes are obtained. The intermediate resonance structures from K0(Kπ)0K^{*0}(K\pi)^0, K(892)±(Kπ)K^{*}(892)^\pm(K\pi)^\mp and KS0K±ρK^0_{\scriptscriptstyle S}K^\pm\rho^{\mp} are studied. The J/ψJ/\psi is observed in all of these channels, and corresponding branching fractions are measured.
