The radiative decay models of the φ-meson have been studied: e + e − → φ → ηγ →3 γ ; e + e − → φ → π o γ →3 γ . Cross sections σ φ → ηγ →3 γ and σ φ → π o γ →3 γ have been measured at five energies in the φ-meson energy region and clearly show the φ-resonance in the ηγ → 3 γ mode as well as in the π o γ → 3 γ mode. From a Breit-Wigner fit to the experimental data the values of the branching ratios are deduced: B φ → ηγ = (1.5 ± 0.4) × 10 −2 ; B φ → π o γ = (1.4 ± 0.5) × 10 −3 .
