Speaker: Camilla Di Donato (INFN Naples)

Abstract: We give an overview of the latest KLOE results on hadronic physics. We present the investigation of scalar mesons (S) structure studying the branching ratio and mass spectra of the radiative decays phi to S gamma and phi to PP’ gamma. Preliminary results for sigma meson produced in gamma-gamma processes using off-peack data will be discussed. Results on pseudoscalar mesons (P) are about etaprime gluonium content and eta rare decays as the eta to pai+ pai- e+ e- channel, where the angular asymmetry between e+ e- and pai+ pai- planes represent a test of non-CKM CP violation. A preliminary investigation for box anomaly has been started on eta/etaprime to pai+pai-gamma final state.
