Here we present KLOE results on the phi meson decays in pi0 pi0 gamma, pi+ pi- gamma and eta pi0 gamma, the measurement of the ratio Br(phi to eta' gamma)/Br(phi to eta gamma) with the estimate of the eta' gluonium content and the measurement of the eta mass.
The KLOE experiment at the Frascati phi-factory DAPHNE, designed to measure $\Re(ε^\prime/ε)$, began preliminary data taking in the Fall of 1999. A large database structure, which logs information coming from the DAPHNE control system and the KLOE slow control and data acquisition systems, has been developed. Data from detector monitoring, online event processing and machine operating conditions are easily accessible for online and offline analysis by means of Web tools and histogramming tools. The system allows powerful real-time data correlations which are necessary for the ongoing program of luminosity and background improvements. Data flow and handling processes are presented.
A high-density calorimeter, consisting of magnetized iron planes interleaved by RPCs, as tracking and timing devices, is a good candidate for a next generation experiment on atmospheric neutrinos. With 34 kt of mass and in four years of data taking, this experiment will be sensitive to $ν_μ\to ν_x$ oscillation with $Δm^2 > 6 \times 10^{-5}$ and mixing near to maximal and fully cover the region of oscillation parameters suggested by Super-Kamiokande results. Moreover, the experimental method will enable to measure the oscillation parameters from the modulation of the L/E spectrum ($ν_μ$ disappearance). For $Δm^2 > 3 \times 10^{-3}$ eV$^2$, this experiment can also establish whether the oscillation occurs into a tau or a sterile neutrino, by looking for an excess of muon-less events at high energies produced by upward-going tau neutrinos ($ν_τ$ appearance).
