We present a new search for the $K_S \to 3\pi^0$ decay performed with the KLOE detector operating at the DA$\Phi$NE $\phi$--factory. The $K_S$ mesons were tagged via registration of $K_L$ mesons which crossed the drift chamber without…
We describe the method of measuring the integrated luminosity of the $e^+e^-$ collider DA$\Phi$NE, the Frascati $\phi-$factory. The measurement is done with the KLOE detector selecting large angle Bhabha scattering events and normalizing…
The major goal of the KLOE experiment is to measure Re(epsilon' /epsilon) in the kkbar system, with a precision of 10^{-4},both via the traditional double ratio method and quantum interferometry. The experiment has started taking data at…
A dark sector -- a new non-Abelian gauge group Higgsed or confined near the GeV scale -- can be spectacularly probed in low-energy e+e- collisions. A low-mass dark sector can explain the annual modulation signal reported by DAMA/LIBRA and…

We reexamine the feasibility of two-photon reactions at DA$\Phi$NE with the KLOE detector excluding the small angle tagging system. Event-rate predictions of interesting channels : $\gamma \gamma \to \pi^0, \eta $ and $\gamma \gamma \to…
Physics at DAFNE, the new Frascati e+e- machine, is reviewed, as well as the esperiments: DEAR - search for KN exotic atoms, FINUDA - spectroscopy and decays of hypernuclei, and KLOE - a multipurpose detector designed for measuring direct…
The original plan of a vigorous program of frontier physics at LNF, based on the phi-factory DAFNE with the KLOE detector, has not yet reached its major aim in the study of discrete symmetries in the neutral kaon system. It has however led…
We re-analyze published proton beam dump data taken at the U70 accelerator at IHEP Serpukhov with the $\nu$-calorimeter I experiment in 1989 to set mass-coupling limits for dark gauge forces. The corresponding data have been used for axion…
The KLOE-2 experiment at the INFN Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (LNF) completed its data-taking at the $e^+ e^-$ DA$\Phi$NE collider, which implements an innovative collision scheme based on a crab-waist configuration, and achieved the…
We present a search for the e+e- decay of a hypothetical dark photon, also names U vector boson, in inclusive dielectron spectra measured by HADES in the p (3.5 GeV) + p, Nb reactions, as well as the Ar (1.756 GeV/u) + KCl reaction. An…
Photon-like particles are predicted in many extensions of the Standard Model. They have interactions similar to the photon, are vector bosons, and can be produced together with photons. The present paper proposes a search for such particles…
New light vectors with dimension-4 couplings to Standard Model states have (energy / vector mass)^2 enhanced production rates unless the current they couple to is conserved. These processes allow us to derive new constraints on the…
The processes $e^+e^-\to e^+e^-X$, with $X$ being either the $\eta$ meson or $\pi^0\pi^0$, are studied at DA$\Phi$NE, with $e^+e^-$ beams colliding at $\sqrt{s}\simeq1$ GeV, below the $\phi$ resonance peak. The data sample is from an…
Recent results obtained by the KLOE experiment operating at DA$\Phi$NE, the Frascati $\phi$-factory, are presented. They mainly concern neutral kaon decays including the $K_L$ dominant branching ratios, the $K_L$ lifetime and the extraction…
SuperB experiment could represent an ideal environment to test a new U (1) symmetry related to light dark forces candidates. A promising discovery channel is represented by the resonant production of a boson U, followed by its decay into…

We have studied the vector to pseudoscalar conversion decay phi -> eta e+e-, with eta -> pi0pi0pi0, with the KLOE detector at DAPHNE. The data set of 1.7 fb-1 of e+e- collisions at sqrt(s)~Mphi contains a clear conversion decay signal of…
