Measurements of semileptonicKLdecay form factors

Abstract
We present new measurements of KL semileptonic form factors using data collected in 1997 by the KTeV (E832) experiment at Fermilab. The measurements are based on 1.9×106 KLπ±eν and 1.5×106 KLπ±μν decays. For f+(t), we measure both a linear and quadratic term: λ+=(20.64±1.75)×103 and λ+=(3.20±0.69)×103. For f0(t), we find λ0=(13.72±1.31)×103. These form factors are consistent with K± form factors, suggesting that isospin symmetry breaking effects are small. We use our measured values of the form factors to evaluate the decay phase space integrals, IKe=0.15350±0.00105 and IKμ=0.10165±0.00080, where errors include uncertainties arising from the form factor parametrizations.
