Analysis of the semileptonic decay $D^0 to bar{K}^0 pi^-mu^+ u$


Abstract in English

Using data collected by the fixed target Fermilab experiment FOCUS, we present several first measurements for the semileptonic decay $D^0 to bar{K}^0pi^-mu^+ u$. Using a model that includes a $bar{K}^0 pi^-$ S-wave component, we measure the form factor ratios to be r_v= 1.706+-0.677+-0.342 and r_2= 0.912+-0.370+-0.104 and the S-wave amplitude to be A=0.347+-0.222+-0.053 GeV^-1. Finally, we measure the vector semileptonic branching ratio $frac{Gamma(D^0 to K^{*}(892){-}mu^+ u)}{Gamma(D^0 to bar{K}^0pi^-pi^+)}= 0.337+-0.034+-0.013.
