Description
The KLOE experiment is going to start a new data taking campaign (as KLOE-2) at
DAFNE, the e+e- collider of the Frascati Laboratories of INFN.
The machine colliding scheme has indeed been modified by using a crabbed waist scheme
in the interaction region. An increase of a about a factor 3 in luminosity is
expected which should grant O(20 fb-1) in few years of running.
The KLOE-2 detector has also been upgraded with the insertion of small angle taggers
for gamma-gamma physics. The construction of larger upgrades such as an Inner Tracker,
close to the interaction point, and two small angle calorimeters is underway with the
aim of completing their insertion at the end of next year. The KLOE-2 scientific program
aims to improve the experimental studies on hadronic physics at low energy and on kaons,
e.g. low energy QCD, gamma-gamma physics, the contribution of hadron vacuum polarization
to the muon anomalous magnet, CKM unitarity and Lepton Universality, CPT symmetry and
quantum mechanics' studies.
