We present the physics case of DAFNE-2, an $e^+e^-$ collider expected to deliver 20-50 fb$^{-1}$ at the $\phi(1020)$ peak, and $\sim$ 5 fb$^{-1}$ in the energy region between 1 and 2.5 GeV.
There are several potential advantages for a collider operation with a lattice with negative momentum compaction factor (alfa). Since the lattice of the Frascati e+e- Phi-factory DAFNE is flexible enough to provide collider operation even…
Within the general frame of the upgrade of the collider DAFNE to the neutron-antineutron energy threshold (2-2.5 GeV c.m.), modifications and different options for the accelerator design are discussed and a possible lattice for the Main…
