Abstract: (Elsevier)
The decay K S 0 → πeν has been observed by the CMD-2 detector at the e + e − collider VEPP-2M at Novosibirsk. Of 6 million produced K L 0 K S 0 pairs, 75±13 events of the K S 0 → πeν decay were selected. The corresponding branching ratio is B( K S 0 → πeν )=(7.2±1.4)×10 −4 . This result is consistent with the evaluation of B( K S 0 → πeν ) from the K L 0 semileptonic rate and K S 0 lifetime assuming ΔS = ΔQ .
