Description

We have measured the three form factors governing the decay D+→ bar K *0e+νe, observed in Fermilab photoproduction experiment E691, using the complete decay distribution of the data. The results are A1(0)=0.46±0.05±0.05, A2(0)=0.0±0.2±0.1, and V(0)=0.9±0.3±0.1 for the two axial-vector and the vector form factors, respectively. The bar K *0 mesons have a ratio of longitudinal to transverse polarization of 1.8-0.4+0.6±0.3. These results are significantly different from values predicted by a number of different models
