Abstract

Using a 282 fb(-1) data sample collected by the Belle experiment at the KEKB e(+)e(-) collider, we study D-0 decays to K-center dot(+)nu and pi(-)center dot(+)nu final states. The D-0 flavor and momentum are tagged through a full reconstruction of the recoiling charm meson and additional mesons from fragmentation. The reconstruction method provides very good resolution in neutrino momentum and in q(2)=(p(center dot)+p(nu))(2). Normalizing to the total number of D-0 tags, we measure the absolute branching fractions to be B(D-0 -> K center dot nu)=(3.45 +/- 0.07(stat)+/- 0.20(syst))% and B(D-0 ->pi center dot nu)=(0.255 +/- 0.019(stat)+/- 0.016(syst))% and the semileptonic form factors (within the modified pole model) f(+)(K)(0)=0.695 +/- 0.007(stat)+/- 0.022(syst) and f(+)(pi)(0)=0.624 +/- 0.020(stat)+/- 0.030(syst).
