Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Exclusive and kinematically complete measurements of the double pionic fusion to He-3 have been performed in the energy region of the so-called ABC effect, which denotes a pronounced low-mass enhancement in the pi pi-invariant mass spectrum. The experiments were carried out with the WASA detector setup at COSY (the cooler synchrotron at Forschungszentrum Julich). Similar to the observations in the basic pn -> d pi(0)pi(0) reaction and in the dd -> He-4 pi(0)pi(0) reaction, the data reveal a correlation between the ABC effect and a resonance-like energy dependence in the total cross section. Differential cross sections are well described by the hypothesis of d* resonance formation during the reaction process in addition to the conventional t-channel Delta Delta mechanism. The deduced d* resonance width can be understood from collision broadening due to Fermi motion of the nucleons in initial and final nuclei.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The existence of a new force beyond the Standard Model is compelling because it could explain several striking astrophysical observations which fail standard interpretations. We searched for the light vector mediator of this dark force, the U boson, with the KLOE detector at the DA Phi NE e(+)e(-) collider. Using an integrated luminosity of 1.54 fb(-1), we studied the process e(+)e(-) -> U gamma, with U -> e(+)e(-), using radiative return to search for a resonant peak in the dielectron invariant-mass distribution. We did not find evidence for a signal, and set a 90% CL upper limit on the mixing strength between the Standard Model photon and the dark photon, epsilon(2), at 10(-6)-10(-4) in the 5-520 MeV/c(2) mass range.

- We searched for evidence of a Higgsstrahlung process in a secluded sector, leading to a final state with a dark photon U and a dark Higgs boson h', with the KLOE detector at DA Phi NE. We investigated the case of h' lighter than U, with U decaying into a muon pair and h' producing a missing energy signature. We found no evidence of the process and set upper limits to its parameters in the range 2m(mu) < m(U) < 1000 MeV, m(h') < m(U). (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Neutral kaon pairs produced in phi decays in anti-symmetric entangled state can be exploited to search for violation of CPT symmetry and Lorentz invariance. We present an analysis of the CP-violating process phi -> KSKL -> pi(+)pi(-)pi(+)pi(-) based on 1.7 fb(-1) of data collected by the KLOE experiment at the Frascati phi-factory DA Phi NE. The data are used to perform a Measurement of the CPT-violating parameters Delta a(mu) for neutral kaons in the context of the Standard Model Extension framework. The parameters measured in the reference frame of the fixed stars are: Delta a(0) = (-6.0 +/- 7.7(stat)+/- 3.1(syst)) X 10(-18) GeV, Delta a(x) = (0.9 +/- 1.5(stat)+/- 0.6(syst)) X 10(-18) GeV, Delta a(y) = (-2.0 +/- 1.5(stat)+/- 0.5(syst)) X 10(-18) GeV, Delta a(z) = (3.1 +/- 1.7(stat)+/- 0.5(syst)) X 10(-18) GeV. These are presently the most precise measurements in the quark sector of the Standard Model Extension. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The WASA-at-COSY collaboration has collected a high statistics data set of. mesons produced through the p + d -> He-3 + omega reaction. This article presents the status of the ongoing studies of two. decay channels. The decay dynamics of the omega -> pi(+)pi(-)pi(0) channel is investigated by means of a Dalitz plot distribution and the omega -> pi(+)pi(-) channel is examined to search for a possible manifestation of rho - omega interference in hadronic production.

Studies of the omega Meson with the KLOE Detector

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The paper presents status of three studies involving the omega meson using data collected by the KLOE detector. The first two projects are feasibility studies performed on simulated data concerning an upper limit measurement of BR (phi -> omega gamma)and the form factor measurement in the omega -> pi(0)l(+)l(-) Dalitz decay. The third study shows the effect pi(0)-pi(0) interference has in the omega -> pi(+)pi(-)pi(0) Dalitz plot when omega is produced through the e(+)e(-) -> omega pi(0) channel.
