Example of KSKL “crash”
KLOE has now about 6 107 tagged KS. All channels are accessible. Results from 2000 data (5.4 106 tagged KS) on: (1) R=(KS +- ) / (KS 00 ) (2) BR(KS e )
(1) R=(KS +- ) / (KS 00 ) Motivations: First part of double ratio Extractions of Isospin Amplitudes and Phases A0 A2 and 0-2 consistent treatment of soft in KS +- () (PDG data contain ambiguities)
[Cirigliano, Donoghue, Golowich 2000] Selection procedure: 1. KS tagging 2. KS +-() two tracks from I.P + acceptance cuts: fully inclusive measurement

Result: Nev (KS +- ) = 1.098 x 106

(2) BR(KS e )
Motivation: If (CPT ok) .AND. (S=Q at work): (KS e ) = (KL e ) BR(KS e ) = BR(KL e ) x (L/S) = ( 6.704 ± 0.071 ) x 10-4
(using all PDG information). Only one measurement (CMD-2 1999): = ( 7.2 ± 1.4 ) x 10-4
Selection procedure Vertex with two tracks from I.P. kinematics (against huge “background”) time of flight ( electron vs pion) final signal variable = Emiss-|pmiss|
BR evaluation: normalization to KS + ((BR)~0.5%) both charge states are considered (well separated charge asymmetry)
ToF selection illustrated for MC: 1. KS + MC events
2. KS e MC events
Result:
Nev(KS e = 627 ± 30[after the fit, residual background subtraction is included]
BR(KS e ) = (6.79 ± 0.33stat ± 0.16syst) x 10-4

6. Conclusions and perspectives
DAFNE performance has improved considerably during the first two years of KLOE data taking KLOE detector well performing and under control From 2000 data (25 pb-1) results on: KS decays
radiative decays improve previous “PDG” knowledge Analysis of 2001 data (190 pb-1) in progress. Expected new results will be: rare KS decays [ , , limits on 3] KL decays [ , ….] K decays decays (6 x106 produced) [chiral perturbation theory checks] hadronic cross-section (e+e ) 2m < W < m
Data taking 2002 starting now 500 pb-1 realistic by end of the year
Detector calibrated on-line (run by run ~ ½ hour): - Drift Chamber s-t relations “ momentum scale (MK) - Calorimeter energy scale (e+e- ) “ time scale + offset “ - s and p evaluated (Bhabha KS, KL)
Start reconstruction and event classification (~ 1 hour delay)
Efficiencies are evaluated and monitoredusing data control samples: photon detection efficiency ~ 99% on most of the energy range + decrease below 100 MeV tracking efficiency ~ 97.5% + decrease at small pT and trigger efficiency in case of KSKL configuration if KS triggers measure KL
