We present a measurement of the K-$\pi$ form-factor parameters for the decay \klpmn. We use 328 pb^{-1} of data collected in 2001 and 2002, corresponding to $\sim $ 1.8 million \semil events. Measurements of semileptonic form factors…
We have measured the branching ratio BR(phi --> pi0 pi0 gamma) with the KLOE detector using a sample of ~5x10^7 phi decays. phi mesons are produced at DAFNE, the Frascati phi-factory. We find BR(phi --> pi0 pi0 gamma) = (1.09 +- 0.03 (stat)…

We present a determination of the CKM parameter |Vus| based on new measurements of the six largest KL branching fractions and semileptonic form factors by the KTeV (E832) experiment at Fermilab. We find |Vus| = 0.2252 +- 0.0008(KTeV) +-…
Unitarity for the first row of the quark mixing matrix appears to be fully satisfied by the value of Vus obtained from recent new measurements of kaon semileptonic decay rates.
We discuss the result of a recent quenched lattice calculation of the K -> pi vector form factor at zero-momentum transfer, relevant for the determination of |V_us| from K-> pi l nu decays. Using suitable double ratios of three-point…
Kaon physics can test new-physics effects in leptonic or semileptonic decays. A unitarity test of the first row of the CKM mixing matrix is obtained from the precision measurements of Kl3 widths for K{\pm}, KL, and (unique to KLOE) KS. The…
