Abstract
The DAΦNE collider, located in the Frascati National Laboratories of INFN, has two main rings, where electrons and positrons are stored to collide at a center of mass energy of 1.02 GeV, the ϕ resonance mass. The KLOE-2 experiment is located at the collider interaction region (IR). The detector is capable of observing and collecting data coming from ϕ decay: charged and neutral kaon pairs, lighter unflavored mesons (η, , f0, ao, ). In the first half of 2013 the KLOE detector has been upgraded inserting new detector layers in the inner part of the apparatus, around the IR in order to improve detector hermeticity and acceptance. The long shutdown has been used to undertake a general consolidation program aimed at improving the DAΦNE performances. This contribution presents the ϕ-factory setup and the achieved performances in terms of beam currents, luminosity and related aspects together with the KLOE-2 physics program, upgrade status report and recent physics results.
