Tests of discrete symmetries with the neutral kaon system at the KLOE and KLOE-2 experiments

Abstract

The KLOE-2 experiment continues and extends the program of its predecessor KLOE in the field of discrete symmetry tests with the K meson system, among other studies which comprise light meson spectroscopy, dark matter searches and γγ physics. Together, KLOE and KLOE-2 have recorded the largest sample (almost 8 fb− 1) of e+e− collisions at the energy equal to ϕ meson mass, amounting to 2.4 × 1010 of produced ϕ mesons. We report on the latest results and ongoing analyses of KLOE and KLOE-2 concerning discrete symmetry tests and measurements of symmetry-violating observables. A measurement of the CPT violation sensitive asymmetry in semileptonic decays of K˙S with 1.7 fb− 1 of KLOE data will be presented, which improves the sensitivity w.r.t. previous measurements about twice. Moreover, status of direct tests of T and CPT in transitions of neutral kaons performed with the ϕ →K˙SK˙L → πeν, 3π0(2π) processes will be reported, followed by the search of the CP-violating decay K˙S → 3π0 using the data recently acquired by KLOE-2.
