Kaon Physics at KLOE
Matteo Palutan
Abstract
The most precise determination of Vus comes from semileptonic kaon decays. We have measured with the KLOE detector at DAFNE, the Frascati phi-factory, all the experimental inputs to Vus for both neutral and charged kaons. Using our results we extract the value of Vus with about 0.9% fractional error, which is entirely dominated by the theoretical error on the knowledge of the normalization of the decay form factors, f0. A new determination of the ratio Vus/Vud is also presented, based on our precise measurement of the absolute branching ratio for the decay K+ -> mu+nu, combined with recent lattice results for the ratio fK/fpi. New results on CPT symmetry have also been achieved, which are based on the first measurement of the charge asymmetry for Ks -> pi e nu decay.
