Decay Modes ofK*

Using strong selection rules alone, the principal decay channels for the $K\pi$ resonance ($K^{*}$) are enumerated. It is pointed out that the reactions $K^{*}\to K+\gamma (e^{+}+e^{-})$ and $K^{*}\to K+2\mathrm{}\pi$ determine the spin on qualitative grounds alone. A plausible estimate is made of the radiative width (${\Gamma }_{K+\gamma }\sim {10}^{-2\mathrm{}}{\Gamma }_{K+\pi }$). Experiments are suggested which may shed some light on the electromagnetic coupling of the $K^{*}K$ system.
