Abstract

The DAΦNE e+e collider operates at the center of mass energy \( \sqrt s \) = 1020 MeV, the mass of the ø(1020)-meson. Since 2001, KLOE has collected an integrated luminosity of about 2.5 fb−1. Results presented below are based on ∼ 450 pb−1. The KLOE detector consists of a large cylindrical drift chamber surrounded by a lead/scintillating-fiber electromagnetic calorimeter. A superconducting coil around the detector provides a 0.52T magnetic field. The drift chamber [1], is 4m diameter and 3.3m long. The momentum resolution is σ(p T )/p T ∼ 0.4%. Two track vertices are reconstructed with a spatial resolution of ∼ 3mm. The calorimeter [2], composed of a barrel and two endcaps, covers 98% of the solid angle. Energy and time resolutions are σ(E)/E = 5.7%/\( \sqrt {E[GeV]} \) and σ(t) = 57ps/\( \sqrt {E[GeV]} \) ⊕ 100 ps. The KLOE trigger [3], uses calorimeter and drift chamber information. For the present analysis only the calorimeter triggers have been used.
