Study of the process e+e−→3(π+π−) in the c.m. energy range 1.5-2.0 GeV with the CMD-3 detector

The cross section of the process e+e−→3(π+π−) has been measured using a data sample of 22pb−1 collected with the CMD-3 detector at the VEPP-2000 e+e− collider. 7956 signal events are selected in the center-of-mass energy range 1.5-2.0 GeV. The measured cross section exhibits a sharp drop near the pp¯ threshold. A first study of dynamics of six-pion production has been performed.
