We present the current status of the analysis of about 1.7 billion K_S K_L pair events collected at DA{Phi}NE with the KLOE detector to determine the branching ratio of K_S -> {pi}e{ u} decay and the lepton charge asymmetry. This sample is ~4 times larger in statistics than the one used in the previous most precise result, from KLOE as well, allowing us to improve the accuracy on the measurement and related tests of CPT symmetry and Delta S = Delta Q rule.

We present the current status of the analysis of about 1.7 billion KSKL pair events collected at DAFNE with the KLOE detector to determine the branching ratio of KS -> pi e nu decay and the lepton charge asymmetry. This sample is ~4 times larger in statistics than the one used in a previous KLOE analysis, allowing us to improve the accuracy of the measurement and of the related tests of CPT symmetry and Delta S = Delta Q rule.
We have measured the absolute branching ratio of the K+ -> pi+ pi0 (gamma) decay, using about 20 million tagged K+ mesons collected with the KLOE detector at DAFNE, the Frascati phi-factory. Signal counts are obtained from the fit of the distribution of the momentum of the charged decay particle in the kaon rest frame. The result, inclusive of final-state radiation, is BR(K+ -> pi+ pi0 (gamma))=0.2065+/-0.0005_{stat}+/- 0.0008_{syst}.
Using 1.63 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected by the KLOE experiment about $7times 10^4$ $K_S rightarrow pi^{pm}e^{mp} u$ decays have been reconstructed. The measured value of the charge asymmetry for this decay is $A_S = (-4.9 pm 5.7_{stat} pm 2.6_{syst}) times 10^{-3}$, which is almost twice more precise than the previous KLOE result. The combination of these two measurements gives $A_S = (-3.8 pm 5.0_{stat} pm 2.6_{syst}) times 10^{-3}$ and, together with the asymmetry of the $K_L$ semileptonic decay, provides significant tests of the CPT symmetry. The obtained results are in agreement with CPT invariance.
We have studied the eta->pi+pi-e+e-(gamma) decay using about 1.7 fb^-1 collected by the KLOE experiment at the DAFNE phi-factory. This corresponds to about 72 millions eta mesons produced in phi radiative decays. We have measured the branching ratio, inclusive of radiative effects, with 4% accuracy: BR(eta->pi+pi-e+e-(gamma)) = (26.8 +/- 0.9_Stat. +/- 0.7_Syst.) x 10^-5. We have obtained the first measurement of the CP-odd pipi-ee decay planes angular asymmetry, A_phi = (-0.6 +/- 2.5_Stat. +/- 1.8_Syst.) x 10^-2.
A new measurement of the branching ratio, $R_{e/mu} =Gamma (pi^+ rightarrow mbox{e}^+ u + pi^+ rightarrow mbox{e}^+ u gamma)/ Gamma (pi^+ rightarrow mu^+ u + pi^+ rightarrow mu^+ u gamma)$, resulted in $R_{e/mu}^{exp} = (1.2344 pm 0.0023 (stat) pm 0.0019 (syst)) times 10^{-4}$. This is in agreement with the standard model prediction and improves the test of electron-muon universality to the level of 0.1 %.
