  6.

  8. e(p+) e(p-) e(g) Trigger efficiency In KLOE, in order to trigger, an event has to release energy over a certain threshold in two different regions of the calorimeter. We have evaluated the event trigger efficiency by data combining the probability that the single particle triggers, when the other two have already triggered the event. Single track efficiency: above 96% for p(p) > 270 MeV above 99% for the photon in almost the whole energy range Sub-per mil probability to have an event with low energy photon and low momenta pions Trigger EVENT inefficiency < 10-3

  10. Efficiency of the selection Selection efficiency e The signal selection efficiency is never below 80% even in the threshold region, where the ratio signal/background is low. p+p-g MC Mpp2 [GeV2] Data p+p-g MC Further checks proves that the reducible background contribution in the data sample after the selection is negligible.

  12. Forward-backward asymmetry At large photon angles, the amount of FSR is large and the interference between the two terms gives a sizeable effect. KLOE has already published a first measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry, and proven the sensitivity of this quantity to the presence of scalar mesons. Phys.Lett.B634 (06), 148 Using the f0 amplitude from Kaon Loop model, good agreement data-MC* both around the f0 mass and at low masses. • data • MC: ISR+FSR • MC: ISR+FSR+f0(KL) * G. Pancheri, O.

  13. Conclusion The measurement of the hadronic cross section with tagged photons is in an • advanced status. • The threshold region requires more studies. • The analysis on the r-peak and at high Mpp2 is close to the conclusion •  important check for the already published KLOE result. • Selection cuts are fixed • Evaluation of efficiencies is almost finished • test of model scalar QED possible • study of scalar mesons Forward-backward asymmetry

  14. P > 250 MeV: P(p+) = P(p-) = 0.96  The probability to not trigger is 0.077 This probability has to be combined with the trigger probabilty of the photon i.e. > 0.99 Combining the two, the probability that the event does not trigger is 810-4 P<250 MeV: lower single track efficiency, but the dinamic makes the overall probabily negligible. Sample: N(LA)=390000 (in our acceptance region) N=37 (0.09% of N(LA)) MC stand alone N=20981 (5.4% of N(LA)) N=368 (0.09% of N(LA)) And it becomes completely negligible if we consider both the pions at low momenta
