摘要

Using 2.93 fb(-1) of e(+)e(-) collision data taken with the BESIII detector at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV, the observation of the D-0 -> K-1 (1270)(-)e(+)nu(e) semileptonic decay is presented. The statistical significance of the decay D-0 -> K-1 (1270)e(+)nu(e) is greater than 10 sigma. The branching fraction of D-0 -> K-1 (1270)(-)e(+)nu(e) is measured to be (1.09 +/- 0.13(-0.16)(+0.09) +/- 0.12) x 10(-3). Here, the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third originates from the assumed branching fraction of K-1 (1270)(-) -> K-pi(+)pi(-). The fraction of longitudinal polarization in D-0 -> K-1 (1270)(-)e(+)nu(e) is determined for the first time to be 0.50 +/- 0.19(stat )+/- 0.08(syst).
