Future perspectives for DANE

Abstract Proposals for a future upgrade of the Frascatifactory DANE and the physics motivations for such anupgrade are presented. If the center-of-mass energy of the accelerator, which is now operating at √s = m φ , will be increased up to √s = 2 GeV, the hadronic cross section between 1–2 GeV can be measured with the KLOE detector. The feasibility of these measurements and the impact on the hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon are discussed.
