Abstract: (APS)
Using 2.93fb-1 of e+e- collision data collected with the BESIII detector at the center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV, we investigate the semileptonic decays D+π+π-+ν (=e and μ). The D+f0(500)μ+νμ decay is observed for the first time. By analyzing simultaneously the differential decay rates of D+f0(500)μ+νμ and D+f0(500)e+νe in different +ν four-momentum transfer intervals, the product of the relevant hadronic form factor f+f0(0) and the magnitude of the cd Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |Vcd| is determined to be f+f0(0)|Vcd|=0.143±0.014stat±0.011syst for the first time. With the input of |Vcd| from the global fit in the standard model, we determine f+f0(0)=0.63±0.06stat±0.05syst. The absolute branching fractions of D+f0(500)(π+π-)μ+νμ and D+ρ(π+π-)0μ+νμ are determined as (0.72±0.13stat±0.08syst)×10-3 and (1.64±0.13stat±0.10syst)×10-3. Combining these results with those of previous BESIII measurements on their semielectronic counterparts from the same data sample, we test lepton flavor universality by measuring the branching fraction ratios BD+ρ0μ+νμ/BD+ρ0e+νe=0.88±0.10 and BD+f0(500)μ+νμ/BD+f0(500)e+νe=1.14±0.26, which are compatible with the standard model expectation.
