Abstract. The DAΦNE collider, located in the Frascati National Laboratories of INFN, has two main rings, where electrons and positrons are stored to collide at a center of mass energy of 1.02 GeV, the φ resonance mass. KLOE-2 experiment is located at the collider interaction region. The detector is capable to observe and collect data coming from φ decay: charged and neutral kaon pairs, lighter unflavored mesons (η, η , f 0 , ao, ω/ρ).In the first half of 2013 the KLOE detector has been upgraded inserting new detector layers in the inner part of the apparatus, around the interaction region in order to improve detector hermeticity and acceptance. The long shutdown has been used to undertake a general consolidation program aimed at improving the DAΦNE performances.This contribution presents the φ-factory setup and the achieved performances in terms of beam currents, luminosity and related aspects together with the KLOE-2 physics program, upgrade status report and recent physics results.
DAΦNE preparation for KLOE-2 physics runDAΦNE [1] is a double ring lepton collider working at the Φ-resonance c.m. energy (1.02 GeV). The two rings layout crosses two times, but the vacuum chamber is shaped in a such way that only one Interaction Region (IR) is possible where the KLOE-2 detector is currently installed. The complex includes a S-band linac, 180 m long transfer lines and an accumulator/damping ring, providing fast and high efficiency top-up electron/positron injection. DAΦNE reached its maximum luminosity during the test of the new Crab-Waist (CW) collision scheme [2] achieving a peak luminosity, L = 4.5 × 10 32 cm −2 s −1 , two orders of magnitude higher than the one measured by other colliders working at the same c.m. energy.The new IR [3] for the KLOE-2 experiment with CW has been designed, installed and tested already ‡ on behalf of KLOE-2 Collaboration and DAΦNE team:
