Hadronic mass spectrum analysis of D+ ---> K- pi+ mu+ nu decay and measurement of the K*(892)0 mass and width
We present a K{pi} mass spectrum analysis of the four-body semileptonic charm decay D{sup +} {yields} K{sup -}{pi}{sup +}{mu}{sup +}{nu} in the range of 0.65 GeV/c{sup 2} < m{sub K{pi}} < 1.5 GeV/c{sup 2}. We observe a non-resonant contribution of 5.30 {+-} 0.74{sub -0.51}{sup +0.99}% with respect to the total D{sup +} {yields} K{sup -} {pi}{sup +}{mu}{sup +}{nu} decay. For the K*(892){sup 0} resonance, we obtain a mass of 895.41 {+-} 0.32{sub -0.36}{sup +0.35} NeV/c{sup 2}, a width of 47.79 {+-} 0.86{sub -1.1}{sup +1.3} MeV/c{sup 2}, and a Blatt-Weisskopf damping factor parameter of 3.96 {+-} 0.54{sub -0.90}{sup +0.72} GeV{sup -1}. We also report 90% CL upper limits of 1.60% and 1.90% for the branching ratios {Lambda}(D{sup +} {yields} {bar K}*(1680){sup 0} {mu}{sup +}{nu})/{Lambda}(D{sup +} {yields} K{sup -} {pi}{sup +}{mu}{sup +}{nu}) and {Lambda}(D{sup +} {yields} {bar K}*{sub 0}(1430){sup 0}) {mu}{sup +}{nu}/{Lambda}(D{sup +} {yields} K{sup -}{pi}{sup +}) {mu}{sup +}{nu}, respectively.
