Abstract: (Elsevier)
We have measured the cross section σ(e+e−→π+π−γ(γ)) at DAΦNE, the Frascati ϕ -factory, using events with initial state radiation photons emitted at small angle and inclusive of final state radiation. We present the analysis of a new data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 240 pb −1 . We have achieved a reduced systematic uncertainty with respect to previously published KLOE results. From the cross section we obtain the pion form factor and the contribution to the muon magnetic anomaly from two-pion states in the mass range 0.592
