Description

The KLOE-2 experiment completed its data-taking at the e+e- DAPHNE collider in Frascati, achieving the integrated luminosity goal of more than 5 fb-1 at the phi peak. KLOE-2 represents the continuation of KLOE with an upgraded detector and an extended physics program. The new four stations installed to tag electrons and positrons from the reaction e+e- -> e+e-gammagamma -> e+e-X, give the opportunity to investigate gamma-gamma physics at the phi resonance. Single pseudoscalar production will improve the determination of the two-photon decay widths of these mesons. An accuracy of O(1%) for the pi0 is reachable with 5 fb-1, matching the current theory precision. With the same amount of data, the measurement of the pi0 -> gamma gamma* TFF in the space-like region with 5-6% accuracy could be reached in a region not yet exploited of the low momentum transfer. Preliminary results and perspectives on gamma-gamma physics will be presented.
