Abstract: (Elsevier)
Among some 400 million KSKL pairs produced in e+e− annihilations at DAΦNE, ∼6500 each of KS→π+e−ν¯ and KS→π−e+ν decays have been observed with the KLOE detector. From these, the ratio Γ(KS→πeν)/Γ(KS→π+π−)=(10.19±0.13)×10−4 is obtained, improving the accuracy on BR(KS→πeν) by a factor of four and providing the most precise test of the ΔS=ΔQ rule. From the partial width Γ(KS→πeν) , a value for f+K0(0)×Vus is obtained that is in agreement with unitarity of the quark-mixing matrix. The lepton charge asymmetry AS=(1.5±9.6stat±2.9syst)×10−3 is compatible with the requirements of CPT invariance. The form-factor slope agrees with recent results from semileptonic KL and K+ decays. These are the first measurements of the charge asymmetry and form-factor slope for semileptonic KS decays.Note:
