Abstract
The DAΦNE e+e- collider in Frascati has steadily improved its performances since year 2000, reaching in 2006 a maximum luminosity of 1.6 1032 cm-2s-1. Recently the crab waist collision scheme has been proposed, which allows to keep in collision two beams at large Piwinski angle with the effect of reducing the spot size at the interaction point while suppressing synchrobetatron resonances. The DAΦNE e+e- collider has been upgraded according to this scheme and the first measurements are confirming the expectations. Meanwhile a proposal for an extension of the KLOE physics program, namely a KLOE-2 program, aiming to collect at least a factor of 10 more statistics with a partially upgraded detector, has been submitted. A first step of this program has been approved to take data during year 2009. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
