2.1 Precision measurement of the mass

Motivated by the discrepancy between the two best measurements:NA48 (2002)M() = 547.843 ± 0.030 ± 0.041 MeVGEM (2005) M() = 547.311 ± 0.028 ± 0.032 MeV

( >10 , PDG average gives a scale factor of 5.8 !)Recently a new measurement has been published by CLEO:

CLEO (2007) M() = 547.785 ± 0.017 ± 0.057 MeV

KLOE method: analysis of fully neutral 3 events with with

3 clusters in the calorimeter only.Kinematic fit with 4 constraints ==> energies by cluster positions Discrimination between and very easy from Dalitz plot.Absolute energy scale from the e+e- center of mass energy s(kinematic fit input) - calibrated comparing M() obtained by the energy scan to the PDG value (dominated by CMD-2)

KLOE final result: M() = 547.873 ± 0.007 ± 0.031 MeVSystematic error due to: - detector uniformity; - Dalitz plot cuts. mass check: M() = 134.906 0.012 0.048(compatible at 1.5 with PDG)

2.3 Dynamics of the 3 decay'3 decay isospin violation in strong interactions mu md ms

A test of low energy effective theories of QCD

KLOE has studied with high statistics the dynamics of both channels:(a)Dalitz plot analysis: 1.34 106 events(b)”slope” analysis: 0.65 106 events

(a) Dalitz plot (submitted to Phys.Lett.B):- large statistics- negligible background- use X and Y variables

Fit results of the Dalitz plot

Comments: 0. the odd terms (c and e) in X are compatible with 0 (no asymmetries); 1. the quadratic term in X (d) is unambiguosly different from 0; 2. the cubic term in Y (f) is needed to get an acceptable fit; 3. the b=a2/2 (current algebra rule) is largely violated.

KLOE results: x 5 statistics respect to best previous experiment

(b) Fit results of the ”slope”

The slope is evaluated by comparing the z distribution of the data with a Montecarlo simulation with =0 (pure phase space) High sensitivity to the M() value (Dalitz plot contour)

Comments:1.The Kaon-Loop well describes the mass spectra;2.The f0(980) is strongly coupled to the s quark: gf0KK > gf0+-

3.The scalar amplitude has a large low mass tail (m<600 MeV) that can beinterpreted as due to the (600);In progress: combined fit with improved background amplitudes

Attempt to describe both spectra with a unique scalar amplitude.[Achasov and Kiselev, Phys.Rev.D73 (2006) 054029]:Scalar amplitude = f0(980) + (600) + interference.

3.3 Search for the decay KSKS

In K0K0 the K0K0 pair is:in a J=0 state = [|KSKS>-|KLKL>]/2;in a I=0,1 isospin state a0 and f0 contribute;

Very small allowed phase space: 2MK < MKK < Msmall B.R.Predictions on B.R.: from 10-13 (no scalar contribution) up to 10-7 We have used the decay chain: KSKS ()() 4 tracks+1 photon (E
