Search for New Physics in the Semileptonic D_{l4} Decays, D->K \pi l \nu

Abstract

New physics effects through the direct CP violation and the decay rate change are investigated in the semileptonic $D_{l4}$ decays, $D^{\pm }\to K\pi l^{\pm }\nu$, by including a scalar-exchange interaction with a complex coupling. In the decay process, we included various excited states as intermediate states decaying to the final hadrons, $K+\pi$, and found that among the intermediate states only the lowest state ($K^{\ast }$) is dominant and the other higher excited states are negligible, contrary to the $B_{l4}$ decays. We also obtained constraints on the new complex coupling within the multi-Higgs doublet model and the scalar leptoquark models.
