Abstract: (arXiv)
The cross sections of the processes e+eK+Ke^+e^- \to K^+K^-, e+eKSKLe^+e^- \to K_SK_L and e+eπ+ππ0e^+e^- \to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0 were measured in the SND experiment at the VEPP-2M collider in the energy region near the ϕ(1020)\phi(1020) meson. These measurements were based on about 10610^6 K+KK^+K^-, 0.5×1060.5 \times 10^6 KSKLK_SK_L and 0.4×1060.4 \times 10^6 π+ππ0\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0 selected events. Themeasured cross sections have been analyzed in the framework of the vector meson dominance model and the main parameters of the ϕ\phi-resonance were obtained, such as its mass, width, the production cross section and branching ratios of the main decay modes. The measured value of the ϕ\phi meson total width, Γϕ=4.21±0.04\Gamma_{\phi} = 4.21 \pm 0.04 is lower than the present world average of 4.458±0.0324.458 \pm 0.032 MeV. Contributions in addition to the conventional vector meson dominance model were found in the e+eπ+ππ0e^+e^- \to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0 reaction cross section.
