In the upcoming month the KLOE-2 data taking campaign will start at the upgraded DAFNE phi-factory of INFN Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati. The main goal is to collect an integrated luminosity of about 20 fb^(-1) in 3-4 years in order to…
The KLOE Collaboration completed the full data taking on March 2006, acquiring 2.5 fb ^ -1 at the peak of the \phi and other 240 pb ^ -1 off-peak. A new Collaboration is working on a new project, called KLOE-2, to refine and extend the KLOE…
The most recent results from the KLOE experiment are presented, covering: the measurement of the running fine-structure constant alpha_em,the Dalitz plot measurement of eta to pi+pi-pi0, the search of a U boson, tests of discrete symmetries…
Using a sample of over 400 million phi->KsKl decays produced during the years 2001 and 2002 at the DAFNE e+e- collider, the ratio R=Gamma(Ks->pi+pi-(g))/Gamma(Ks->pi0pi0) has been measured with the KLOE detector. The result is…
By studying the invariant-mass distribution of the $e^+e^-$ in conversion decays, it is possible to learn more about mesons structure and underlying quark dynamics. At KLOE, the study of the $\phi \to \pi^0 e^+e^-$ process is currently…
The KLOE Experiment at the $\phi$ factory DA$\Phi$NE, has measured the cross section $\sigma(e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma)$ using two different selection schemes: requiring the photon emission at small polar angle and detecting the photon at…
We present results of a direct search for the decay KS --> e+e- with the KLOE detector, obtained with a sample of e+e- --> phi --> KSKL events produced at DAFNE, the Frascati phi-factory, for an integrated luminosity of 1.3fb-1. The…
The KLOE collaboration has searched for the phi to K0 K0bar gamma decay using a sample of 1.4 fb-1 of e+e- collisions at W ~ M(phi) collected with the KLOE experiment at the Frascati e+e- collider DAFNE. No previous search exists for this…
The KLOE-2 experiment at the INFN Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (LNF) is currently taking data at the upgraded $e^{+}e^{-}$ DAFNE collider. Present Run II follows a~development phase to assess the feasibility of a long term acquisition…
The measurement of hadronic cross sections at low centre-of-mass energies is currently attracting much interest because of the r\^o{}le these measurements play in the theoretical evaluation of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. The…
DAFNE, the Frascati phi factory, has been in operation since 1999. At the center of the physics program is the KLOE experiment, a multipurpose detector with optimizations for tagged and interferometry-based measurements of the neutral kaon…
We measured, with the KLOE detector, the spectrum of pi+pi- invariant mass in a sample of 6.7 x 10^5 e+e- --> pi+pi-g events with the photon at large polar angle (theta_g>45^o) at a centre of mass energy sqrt(s) around the phi mass. We…
We report the first observation of the rare eta->e+e-e+e- decay based on 1.7 fb^{-1} collected by the KLOE experiment at the DAFNE phi-factory. The selection of the e+e-e+e- final state is fully inclusive of radiation. We have identified…
As a future upgrade of the Frascati phi factory DAPHNE an increase of the center-of-mass energy of the accelerator up to W=2GeV has been proposed (DAFNE2). In this case the hadronic cross section in the energy range between 1-2 GeV can be…
The KLOE experiment at the DA$\Phi$NE $\phi$-factory has performed a new precise measurement of the pion form factor using Initial State Radiation events, with photons emitted at small polar angle. Results based on an integrated luminosity…

This work concerned two experimental searches for the violation of fundamental discrete symmetries in physical systems originating from electron-positron interactions. The first study was a direct test of the symmetry under reversal in time…
The Dafne Frascati phi factory has continously improved its performances reaching in 2002 an instantaneous luminosity of 8x10^31 cm-2 s-1. The DEAR experiment, concluded in 2002, has measured the de-excitation of kaonic atoms. The KLOE…
KLOE has collected about 30 pb^-1 in year 2000 at the DAFNE collider, which yields the largest population of phi meson radiative decays studied so far. We present the result obtained for phi-->eta photon and phi -->eta' photon: the ratio of…
The phi-factory DAPHNE offers a possibility to select pure kaon beams, charged and neutral ones. In particular, neutral kaons from phi->KS KL are produced in pairs and the detection of a KS (KL) tags the presence of a KL (KS). This allows…
