Abstract

The main physics items to be studied in the f-facory DAFNE under commissioning in Frascati are discussed. Experimental searches for CP violation, study of chiral structure of pseudoscalar and vector mesons, pion-pion phase shifts, hadronic e+ e- cross-sections will be studied with the detector KLOE, nuclear physics with kaons will be investigated with the detector FINUDA and formation of Kaonic atoms with the detector DEAR.
