Abstract

The KLOE experiment at the Frascati φ factory, Daφne, has collected ~500 pb -1, i.e. 1.5 × 10^9 φ decays. At the φ factory it is possible to select pure KL and KS beams. Although the integrated luminosity is insufficient for precision tests of the CP, T symmetries in kaon decays, a wide number of topics in kaon and hadronic physics are accessible from the largest sample of φ decays at rest collected so far. The cross section σ(e+e- --> π+π-γ) below 1 GeV, relevant for the precise evaluation of the muon magnetic moment, has been measured with a statistical accuracy better than 1%. For the KS, we obtained the ratio of the branching fractions Γ(KS --> π+π-(γ))/Γ(KS --> π0π0) = (2.239 +/- 0.003stat +/- 0.015syst), fully inclusive of the ππγ final state. The analysis of the ~20,000 KS semileptonic decays KS --> πeν is being finalized providing precise measurements of both, the KS semileptonic branching ratio, and Re x+, i.e. the ΔS = ΔQ rule violation parameter. For the KL, we obtained the ratio Γ(KL --> γγ)/Γ(KL --> π0π0π0) = (2.80 +/- 0.02stat +/- 0.02syst) × 10-3, of interest to Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT), as well as preliminary results on the branching ratios to other decay modes. In particular, our measurements of the semileptonic decays of both, neutral, and charged kaons will improve the precision of the CKM matrix element |Vus|, clarifying the present disagreement between different experiments. The φ radiative decays, both in scalar and pseudo-scalar mesons, have been analyzed giving new measurements of the ɛ - ɛ' mixing angle, and of the φ --> a0(980)γ, φ --> f0(980)γ branching ratios.
