Abstract
Using the CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have performed a direct measurement of the ratio of {ital D}{sup 0} semileptonic branching fractions into vector and pseudoscalar final states. We find {ital B}({ital D}{sup 0}{r arrow}{ital K}{sup *{minus}}{ital e+}{nu}{sub {ital e}})/{ital B}({ital D}{sup 0}{r arrow}{ital K}{sup {minus}}{ital e+}{nu}{sub {ital e}})=0.51{plus minus} 0.18{plus minus}0.06, in agreement with the ratio derived by the E691 experiment which compares {ital D}{sup +} and {ital D}{sup 0} final states. We also set an upper limit on the ratio {ital B}({ital D}{sup 0}{r arrow}{ital {bar K}}{sup *0}{pi}{sup {minus}}{ital e+}{nu}{sub {ital e}})/{ital B}({ital D}{sup 0}{r arrow}{ital K}{sup *{minus}}{ital e}{nu}{sub {ital e}}){lt}0.64 at 90% confidence level.
