Abstract: (arXiv)
We have studied, with the KLOE detector at the DAΦ\PhiNE Φ\Phi-Factory, the dynamics of the decay ηπ+ππ0\eta\to\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0 using η\eta mesons from the decay ϕηγ\phi\to\eta\gamma for an integrated luminosity L{\mathcal L} = 450 pb1^{-1}. From a fit to the Dalitz plot density distribution we obtain a precise measurement of the slope parameters. An alternative parametrization relates the π+ππ0\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0 slopes to that for η3π0\eta\to 3\pi^0 showing the consistency of KLOE results for both channels. We also obtain the best confirmation of the CC-invariance in the ηπ+ππ0\eta\to\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0 decay.
