Scalar and Tensor Couplings in Kaon Decays

Abstract

In the past few years charged kaon experiments have indicated possible scalar and tensor couplings in semileptonic kaon decays(K --> pi e nu). These couplings, if correct, are not predicted by the Standard Model and may indicate the onset of new physics. We present a summary of the existing data and a new, precision measurement of these couplings in the neutral kaon system based on a 3% subset of the data taken by the KTeV (E799) experiment at Fermilab
