Abstract

The decay K−→π0e−ν is studied using in-flight decays detected with the “ISTRA+” spectrometer. About 920K events are collected for the analysis. The λ+ slope parameter of the decay form-factor f+(t) in the linear approximation (average slope) is measured: λ+lin=0.02774±0.00047(stat)±0.00032(syst). The quadratic contribution to the form-factor was estimated to be λ′+=0.00084±0.00027(stat)±0.00031(syst). The linear slope, which has a meaning of df+(t)/dt|t=0 for this fit, is λ+=0.02324±0.00152(stat)±0.00032(syst). The limits on possible tensor and scalar couplings are derived: fT/f+(0)=−0.012±0.021(stat)±0.011(syst), fS/f+(0)=−0.0037+0.0066−0.0056(stat)±0.0041(syst).
