Description
We present new measurements of KL semileptonic form factors using data collected in 1997 by the KTeV (E832) experiment at Fermilab. The measurements are based on 1.9x106 KL→π±e±ν and 1.5x106 KL→π±μ±ν decays. For f+(t), we measure both a linear and quadratic term: λ+'=(20.64±1.75)x10-3 and λ+''=(3.20±0.69)x10-3. For f0(t), we find λ0=(13.72±1.31)x10-3. These form factors are consistent with K± form factors, suggesting that isospin symmetry breaking effects are small. We use our measured values of the form factors to evaluate the decay phase space integrals, IKe=0.15350±0.00105 and IKμ=0.10165±0.00080, where errors include uncertainties arising from the form factor parametrizations
