A direct search for the CP-violating decay Ks->3p^0 with the KLOE detector at DAFNE
We have searched for the decay Ks->3p^0 with the KLOE experiment at DAFNE
using data from e^+ e^- collisions at a center of mass energy W= m(phi) for an
integrated luminosity L=450 pb^-1. The search has been performed with a pure Ks
beam obtained by tagging with Kl interactions in the calorimeter and detecting
six photons. We find an upper limit for the branching ratio of 1.2x10^-7 at 90%

Measurement of the KL meson lifetime with the KLOE detector
We present a measurement of the KL lifetime using the KLOE detector. From a
sample of 4 x 10^8 KS KL pairs following the reaction e+ e- -> phi -> KS KL we
select 15 x 10^6 KL -> p0 p0 p0 decays tagged by KS -> pi+ pi- events. From a
fit of the proper time distribution we find tau_L = (50.92 +- 0.17{stat} +-
0.25{syst})$ ns. This is the most precise measurement of the KL lifetime
performed to date.Comment: 14 pages, 14 figure
Measurements of the Absolute Branching Ratios for the Dominant KL Decays, the KL Lifetime, and Vus with the KLOE Detector
From a sample of about 10^9 Phi mesons produced at DAFNE, we have selected KL
mesons tagged by observing KS->pi+pi- decays. We present results on the major
KL branching ratios, including those of the semileptonic decays needed for the
determination of Vus. These branching ratio measurements are fully inclusive
with respect to final-state radiation. The KL lifetime has also been measured.Comment: Submitted to Phys. Lett.
Determination of CP and CPT violation parameters in the neutral kaon system using the Bell-Steinberger relation and data from the KLOE experiment
We present an improved determination of the CP and CPT violation parameters
Re(epsilon) and Im(delta) based on the unitarity condition (Bell-Steinberger
relation) and on recent results from the KLOE experiment. We find Re(epsilon) =
(159.6 \pm 1.3)10^-5 and Im(delta) = (0.4 \pm 2.1)10^-5, consistent with no CPT
violation.Comment: Submitted to JHE
Measurement of the pseudoscalar mixing angle and gluonium content with KLOE detector
We have measured the ratio by looking for the radiative decays and in the final states
7 's and 7 's respectively, in a sample of mesons produced at the Frascati -factory. We
obtain from which we
derive . In the hypothesis of
no gluonium content we extract the pseudoscalar mixing angle in the
quark-flavor basis .
Combining the value of with other constraints, we estimate the
gluonium fractional content of meson as and
the mixing angle .Comment: 13 pages, 8 figure
Study of the decay phi--> f0(980)g --> pi+pi-g with the KLOE detector
We measured, with the KLOE detector, the spectrum of pi+pi- invariant mass in
a sample of 6.7 x 10^5 e+e- --> pi+pi-g events with the photon at large polar
angle (theta_g>45^o) at a centre of mass energy sqrt(s) around the phi mass. We
observe a clear contribution from the intermediate process phi --> f0(980)g. A
sizeable effect is also observed in the distribution of the forward-backeard
asymmetry. We use different theoretical models to fit the spectrum and we
determine the f_0 mass and coupling constants to the phi, to pi+pi- and to KK.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figures, submitted to Phys.Lett.
