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

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
