Measurement of  (e + e -   +  -  s 1 GeV Hadronic cross section below the  threshold has been measured by CMD-2 at Novosibirsk Collider by the energy scan At KLOE we are investigating the radiative return method (a photon radiated in the initial state ) to measure  had  

 had and   the interest in the measurement of  had has increased recently with the new results of the BNL g-2 experiment   is correlated to the hadronic cross section via the dispersion integral: In the case of a radiative photon the cross section is related to  had via the radiator function H:

KLOE contribution to the measurement The KLOE  NE can study: the  resonance, which contributes to ~65% of the dispersion integral this measurement has been recently performed by the CMD-2 detector at Novosibirsk with a precision of ~1% the hadronic cross section above threshold this has become recently interesting after the fit of Jegerlehner et al. of the NA7 e  e  data the fit can be analitically extrapolated in the timelike region and used to test  data

The fiducial volume Two fiducial volumes are currently studied: small angle:   169 o highest cross section; small bckd from  ; no photon tagging available   resonance large angle: 60 o <   <120 o large bckd from , especially at low Q 2 ; possibility of using the calorimeter to discriminate  m  at threshold the pions must be central (55 o o ) to cut down the background

The Event Generator : EVA EVA generates the process ee , with a hard photon (E  >10MeV) emitted by ISR or by FSR (and a soft photon) At present accurate simulation is limited to polar angles of the  system: 5 o <   <21 o  159 o <   <175 o This causes a reduction by a factor of ~6 in statistics Kuehn et al. have published (hep-ph/ , 13 Jun 2001) the NLO corrections to the process; the new version of EVA will be soon available

The method the Backgrounds come from: - the acceptance  acc is evaluated from MC - the global selection efficiency  sel is evaluated from DATA+MC - the trigger efficiency  trig is evaluated from DATA the Luminosity is measured using the Bhabha scattering at large angles e + e - e + e -  (radiative Bhabha) e + e -      e + e -        0 (BR = 15.5 %) e + e -      (Final State Radiation)

Background suppression Bhabha events are rejected with a likelihood function based on the TOF and on the shape of the energy deposit in the EMC the likelihood function is built from data using  and ee  events  and  (FSR) events are suppressed by the acceptance cuts and, anyhow, they populate the high M  region Efficiency of likelihood function = efficiency on pions = (1-eff) for electrons

Cutting on M trk After the likelihood cut the signal peak is clearly visible in the M trk variable The final background suppression is obtained by cutting 10MeV around the pion mass For an inclusive analysis this cut must be released on the high M trk side Before Likelihood ( Rad. Bhabhas ) After Likelihood   M trk is defined by the following relation
