The existence of a light dark force mediator has been tested with the KLOE detector at DAPHNE. This particle, called U, is searched for using decay chain phi-->etaU, eta-->pi+pi-pi0, U-->e+e-. No evidence found in 1.5 fb-1 data. resulting exclusion plot covers mass range 5
We have searched for a light vector boson U, the possible carrier of "dark force", with KLOE detector at DAΦNE e+e− collider, motivated by astrophysical evidence presence dark matter in Universe. Using collisions collected an integrated luminosity 239.3 pb−1, we look dimuon mass peak reaction e+e−→μ+μ−γ, corresponding to decay U→μ+μ−. find no U signal. set 90% CL upper limit mixing parameter squared between photon and 1.6×10−5 8.6×10−7 region 520<mU<980 MeV.
Neutral kaon pairs produced in phi decays anti-symmetric entangled state can be exploited to search for violation of CPT symmetry and Lorentz invariance. We present an analysis the CP-violating process phi->K_S K_L->pi+pi-pi+pi- based on 1.7 fb-1 data collected by KLOE experiment at Frascati phi-factory DAFNE.

Abstract A dedicated R&D is ongoing for the charged particle identification system of ALICE 3 experiment proposed LHC Run 5 and beyond. One subsystems high-energy will be a Ring-Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector. The possibility integrating Cherenkov-based timing measurements currently under study. based on proximity-focusing RICH configuration including an aerogel radiator separated from SiPM array layer by expansion gap. thin high-refractive index window transparent material, acting as...

Part of the upgrade KLOE detector at DAΦNE Φ-factory consists insertion a tracking device around interaction region, composed four layers with radii from 130 mm to 205 and an active length 700 mm. Each layer was realized as cylindrical triple-GEM (CGEM) kapton-based detector, solution that allows us keep total material budget below 2% X0, utmost importance limit multiple scattering low-momentum tracks KLOE-2, minimize dead spaces. The peculiar readout pattern XV strips provides spatial...
We have studied the vector to pseudoscalar conversion decay ϕ→ηe+e−, with η→π0π0π0, KLOE detector at DAΦNE. The data set of 1.7 fb−1 e+e− collisions s∼Mϕ contains a clear signal ∼31,000 events from which we measured value BR(ϕ→ηe+e−)=(1.075±0.007±0.038)×10−4. same sample is used determine transition form factor by fit invariant mass spectrum, obtaining bϕη=(1.28±0.10−0.08+0.09) GeV−2, that improves five precision previous measurement and in good agreement VMD expectations.
The absolute branching ratio of the K+→π+π−π+(γ) decay, inclusive final-state radiation, has been measured using ∼17 million tagged K+ mesons collected with KLOE detector at DAΦNE, Frascati ϕ-factory. result is:BR(K+→π+π−π+(γ))=0.05565±0.00031stat±0.00025syst a factor ≃ 5 more precise respect to previous result. This work completes program precision measurements dominant kaon ratios KLOE.
