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
A new experiment is described to detect a permanent electric dipole moment of the proton with sensitivity $10^{-29}e\cdot$cm by using polarized "magic" momentum $0.7$~GeV/c protons in an all-electric storage ring. Systematic errors relevant are discussed and techniques address them presented. The measurement sensitive physics beyond Standard Model at scale 3000~TeV.
The existence of a new force beyond the Standard Model is compelling because it could explain several striking astrophysical observations which fail standard interpretations. We searched for light vector mediator this dark force, $\mathrm{U}$ boson, with KLOE detector at DA$\Phi$NE $\mathrm{e}^{+}\mathrm{e}^{-}$ collider. Using an integrated luminosity 1.54 fb$^{-1}$, we studied process $\mathrm{e}^{+}\mathrm{e}^{-} \to \mathrm{U}\gamma$, $\mathrm{U} \mathrm{e}^{+}\mathrm{e}^{-}$, using...
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.

The recent interest in a light gauge boson the framework of an extra U(1) symmetry motivates searches mass range below 1 GeV. We present search for such particle, dark photon, e+e−→Uγ, U→π+π− based on 28 million e+e−→π+π−γ events collected at DAΦNE by KLOE experiment. π+ π− production initial-state radiation compensates loss sensitivity previous U→e+e−, μ+μ− due to small branching ratios ρ–ω resonance region. found no evidence signal and set limit 90% CL mixing strength between photon ε2, U...
Neutral kaon pairs produced in phi decays anti-symmetric entangled state can be exploited to search for violation of CPT symmetry and Lorentz invariance.

A bstract The three precision measurements of the cross section σ ( e + − → π γ(γ)) using initial state radiation by KLOE collaboration provide an important input for prediction hadronic contribution to anomalous magnetic moment muon. These are correlated both statistical and systematic uncertainties and, therefore, simultaneous use these requires covariance matrices that fully describe correlations. We present construction them determine a combined measurement γ(γ)). find, from this...
We present new $\ensuremath{\Sigma}$ beam asymmetry data for $\ensuremath{\eta}$ meson photoproduction on the proton, using a novel tagged, laser backscattered, linearly polarized photon up to 1.1 GeV.
