From a fit of the cross section in the energy region 1.000 $<$ $\sqrt {s }$ $<$ 1.100 GeV using a vector meson dominance model with contribution from ${{\mathit \phi}{(1020)}}$, ${{\mathit \rho}{(770)}}$, ${{\mathit \omega}{(782)}}$ and higher vector resonances. The the first three points near the threshold are removed in the fit.

²	Average of KOZYREV 2016 and KOZYREV 2018 values taking into account the correlated uncertainties. Supersedes individual KOZYREV 2016 and KOZYREV 2018 results.

³	Using a vector meson dominance model with contribution from ${{\mathit \phi}{(1020)}}$ and higher mass excitations of ${{\mathit \rho}{(770)}}$, ${{\mathit \omega}{(782)}}$, and ${{\mathit \phi}{(1020)}}$.

⁴	Using a phenomenological model based on KUHN 1990 with a sum of Breit-Wigner resonances for ${{\mathit \rho}{(770)}}$, ${{\mathit \omega}{(782)}}$, ${{\mathit \phi}{(1020)}}$ and their higher mass excitations.

⁵	Update of AKHMETSHIN 1999D

⁶

From the combined fit assuming that the total ${{\mathit \phi}{(1020)}}$ production cross section is saturated by those of ${{\mathit K}^{+}}{{\mathit K}^{-}}$, ${{\mathit K}_{{{S}}}}{{\mathit K}_{{{L}}}}$, ${{\mathit \pi}^{+}}{{\mathit \pi}^{-}}{{\mathit \pi}^{0}}$, and ${{\mathit \eta}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$ decays modes and using ACHASOV 2000B for the ${{\mathit \eta}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$ decay mode.

⁷	Using a total width of $4.43$ $\pm0.05$ MeV. Systematic uncertainty included.

⁸	Using a total width of $4.43$ $\pm0.05$ MeV.

⁹	PELLINEN 1982 review includes AKERLOF 1977, DAUM 1981, BALDI 1977, AYRES 1974, DEGROOT 1974.

¹⁰	From the fit to data of CMD3, BABAR and BES3.

¹¹

From a fit of the pion form factor in the energy range 0.32 $<$ $\sqrt {s }$ $<$ 1.2 GeV using the GOUNARIS 1968 parametrization with the complex phase of the ${{\mathit \rho}}−{{\mathit \omega}}$ interference leaving ${{\mathit \rho}{(1450)}}$, ${{\mathit \rho}{(1700)}}$ resonances as free parameters of the fit. Systematic errors not estimated.

¹²	Width fixed at 4.2 MeV.

¹³	The values were extracted from a dispersively improved Breit-Wigner parameterization and do not include vacuum polarization. Inclusion of vacuum polarization gives $1019.457$ $\pm0.020$ MeV.

¹⁴	From the ${{\mathit D}^{\pm}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit K}^{\pm}}{{\mathit K}^{+}}{{\mathit K}^{-}}$ Dalitz plot fit with the Triple-M amplitude in the multimeson model of AOUDE 2018.

¹⁵	The values were extracted from a dispersively improved Breit-Wigner parameterization and do not include vacuum polarization.

¹⁶	Strongly correlated with AKHMETSHIN 2004.

¹⁷	Systematic errors not evaluated.

¹⁸	Weighted and scaled average of 12 measurements of DIJKSTRA 1986.

¹⁹	Mass errors enlarged by us to $\Gamma /\sqrt {\mathit N }$; see the note with the ${{\mathit K}^{*}{(892)}}$ mass.
