Book excerpt: We study the processes e+e− → K+K−?+?−?, K+K−?°?°? and K+K−K+K−?, where the photon is radiated from the initial state. About 34600, 4400 and 2300 fully reconstructed events respectively, are selected from 232 fb−1 of BABAR data. The invariant mass of the hadronic final state defines the effective e+e− center-of-mass energy, so that the K+K−?+?−? data can be compared with direct measurements of the e+e− → K+K−?+?−? reaction; no direct measurements exist for the e+e− → K+K−?°?°? or e+e− → K+K−K+K− reactions. Studying the structure of these events, we find contributions from a number of intermediate states, and we extract their cross sections where possible. In particular, we isolate the contribution from e+e− → ?(1020)f0(980) and study its structure near threshold. In the charmonium region, we observe the J/? in all three final states and several intermediate states, as well as the ?/(2S) in some modes, and measure the corresponding branching fractions. We see no signal for the Y(4260) and obtain an upper limit of ?{sub Y(4260)→??+?−} · ?{sub ee}{sup Y}
