	Funding: Work supported by the EuCARD research programme within the 'Assessment of Novel Accelerator Concepts' work package (ANAC-WP11) The innovative crab-waist collision scheme has been recently implemented at DAΦNE for a new KLOE run. This scheme requires special attention to the Touschek effect, both for the lifetime and the machine induced backgrounds into the detector. These two aspects have been handled starting from the same Monte Carlo simulation. The DAΦNE optical model has been tuned to keep the effects of Touschek scattering under control with a trade-off between critical parameters, following the indications given by simulations. Connections between numerical results and lattice modifications are discussed here. Dedicated lifetime measurements have been carried out to validate these studies. Particle losses at the IR have been minimized by means of the same optical knobs, but in addition proper shieldings have been implemented to further decrease their impact on the detector performance. IR distributions of the Touschek particle losses have been tracked from the beam pipe into KLOE for direct comparison of measured and expected backgrounds. Moreover, these studies are carried out with the same software tools used for the SuperB factory design, allowing a direct validation test of this approach.

The innovative crab-waist collision scheme has been recently implemented at DAΦNE for a new KLOE run.
