Abstract

We investigate the form factors and decay rates for the semileptonic decays of the kaon(Kl3)K_{l3}) using the light-front quark model. The form factors f±(q2)f_{\pm}(q^{2}) are calculated in q+=0q^{+}=0 frame and analytically continued to the time-like region, q2>0q^{2}>0. Our numerical results for the physical observables, f/f+q2=ml2=0.38f_{-}/f_{+}|_{q^{2}=m^{2}_{l}}=-0.38, λ+=0.025\lambda_{+}=0.025(the slope of f+f_{+} at q2=ml2q^{2}=m^{2}_{l}), Γ(Ke30)=(7.30±0.12)×106s1\Gamma(K^{0}_{e3})=(7.30\pm 0.12)\times10^{6}s^{-1}, and Γ(Kμ30)=(4.57±0.07)×106s1\Gamma(K^{0}_{\mu3})=(4.57\pm0.07)\times10^{6}s^{-1} are quite comparable with the experimental data and other theoretical model calculations. The non-valence contributions from q+0q^{+}\neq 0 frame are also estimated.
