Abstract

This thesis is a groundwork for a search for the C-violating φ → ωγ decay and the rare ω → l<sup>+</sup>l<sup>−</sup>π<sup>0</sup> decay with the KLOE detector. A feasibility study of the detection acceptance for the ω → π<sup>+</sup>π<sup>−</sup>π<sup>0</sup> and ω → l<sup>+</sup>l<sup>−</sup>π<sup>0</sup> decays produced in the e<sup>+</sup>e<sup>−</sup> → ωγ<sub>ISR</sub> and e<sup>+</sup>e<sup>−</sup> → ωπ<sup>0</sup> production channels. A study of the main background to the forbidden φ decay, the e<sup>+</sup>e<sup>−</sup> → ωγ<sub>ISR</sub> process, is performed using a data sample with an integrated luminosity of L = 1.6 fb<sup>−1</sup> collected by the KLOE detector at center of mass energy √s = 1019 MeV.
