Abstract

We present new measurements of K_L semileptonic form factors using data collected in 1997 by the KTeV (E832) experiment at Fermilab. The measurements are based on 1.9 × 10⁶ K_L → π^±e^∓ν and 1.5 × 10⁶ K_L → π^±μ^∓ν decays. For f₊(t), we measure both a linear and quadratic term: λ′₊ = (20.64 ± 1.75) × 10^-3 and λ″₊ = (3.20 ± 0.69) × 10^-3. For f₀(t), we find λ₀ = (13.72 ± 1.31) × 10^-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, I_K^e = 0.15350 ± 0.00105 and I _K^μ = 0.10165 ± 0.00080, where errors include uncertainties arising from the form factor parametrizations.
