Lambda-hypernuclei are produced and studied, with the FINUDA spectrometer, for the first time at an e+e- collider: DAPHNE, the Frascati phi-factory. The slow negative kaons from phi(1020) decay are stopped in thin (0.2 g/cm^2) nuclear…
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…
We describe the status of the analyses in progress on light meson spectroscopy in the KLOE experiment. We present the analyses of phi decays into f0(980)gamma and a0(980)gamma, the Dalitz plot analysis of the eta to pie+ pie- pie0 decay,…
The branching fraction for the decay $K_S \to \pi e \nu$ has been measured with a sample of 300 million $K_S$ mesons produced in $\phi \to K_L K_S$ decays recorded by the KLOE experiment at the DA$\Phi$NE $e^+e^-$ collider. Signal decays…
We have measured the cross section $\sigma(e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma(\gamma))$ at DA$\Phi$NE, the Frascati \phi-factory, using events with initial state radiation photons emitted at small angle and inclusive of final state radiation. We…

A short review of two measurements recently published by KLOE/KLOE-2 collaborations is presented. Namely the most stringent limits of the CPT-violating parameters Delta a_mu for neutral kaons, and the absolute branching ratio of K+ -->…
Based on an integrated luminosity of 1.61 fb$^{-1}$ $e^+e^-$ collision data collected with the KLOE detector at DA$\Phi$NE, the Frascati $\phi$-factory, a search for the $P$- and $CP$-violating decay $\eta\to\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ has been…
We have measured the cross section of the radiative process e+e- -> pi+pi-gamma with the KLOE detector at the Frascati phi-factory DAPHNE, from events taken at a CM energy W=1 GeV. Initial state radiation allows us to obtain the cross…
A new measurement of the branching fraction for the decay $K_S \rightarrow \pi e \nu$ is presented, based on a sample of 300 million $K_S$ mesons recorded by the KLOE experiment at the DA$\Phi$NE $e^+e^-$ collider. A two-step signal…
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…
This paper is a simple, quick guide to KLOE, the flagship experiment of INFN's \Phi factory DAFNE at Frascati. KLOE's design principles, properties, its physics accomplishments and its impact on "flavor physics", are described in terms…
This paper is devoted to the measurement of the fully inclusive absolute branching ratios of the charged kaon semileptonic decays, $K^{\pm}\to\pi^0e^\pm\nu(\gamma)$ and $K^\pm \to \pi^0\mu^\pm\nu(\gamma)$. The measurements have been done…
The $K_S \to 3 \pi^0$ decay is a pure CP violating process which, assuming CPT invariance, allows one to investigate direct CP violation. This decay has not been observed so far, and the best upper limit on the branching ratio $BR(K_S to…
Precise measurements of semileptonic kaon decay rates at KLOE provide the measurement of the CKM mixing matrix element \vus\ and information about lepton universality. Leptonic kaon decays provide an independent measurement of…

We present a study of the reaction e+e- --> pi+pi-pi0 at the phi peak W=M(phi)=1019.4 MeV observed with the KLOE detector at Dafne. The reaction is dominated by phi production and decay, e+e- --> phi --> pi+pi-pi0. From a fit to the Dalitz…

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…
