In the fixed energy environment of the $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider DA$\Phi$NE, KLOE can measure the cross section of the process $e^{+}e^{-} \to$ hadrons as a function of the hadronic system energy using the radiative return. At energies below 1…
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 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…

This paper reviews the current status of experimental measurements of radiative kaon decays. Several experiments at BNL, CERN and FNAL have recently or will soon complete data collection; as a result, several new results are available.
Using 328 pb^{-1}of data collected at DAFNE corresponding to $\sim$ 1.8 million $K_L\to \pi\mu\nu$ decays, we have measured the $K_{\mu 3}$ form factor parameters. The structure of the $K-\pi$ vector-current provides information about the…
