Abstract

The decay K − → μ − νπ 0 has been studied using in-flight decays detected with the ISTRA+ setup operating in the 25-GeV negative secondary beam of the U-70 PS. About 112K events were used for the analysis. The λ + and λ 0 slope parameters of the decay form factors f +(t) and f 0(t) have been measured: λ +=0.0321±0.004(stat.)±0.002(syst.), λ 0=0.0209±0.004(stat.)±0.002(syst.); the correlation dλ 0/dλ +=−0.46. The limits on the possible tensor and scalar couplings have been derived: f T/f +(0)=−0.021±0.028(stat.)±0.014(theor.), f S/f +(0)=0.004±0.005(stat.)±0.005(theor.).
