Abstract
We present a measurement of the ratio R=I(K.sup.0 .sub.e3I3 E.sup.* .sub.I3 > 30 MeV, I,.sup.* .sub.I3>20.sup.deg)/I(K.sup.0 .sub.e3) and a first measurement of the direct emission contribution in semileptonic K.sub.L decays. The measurement was performed at the DA NE I factory by selecting I[right arrow][K.sub.L]K.sub.S decays with the KLOE detector. We use 328 pb.sup.-1 of data, corresponding to about 3.5 million K.sup.0 .sub.e3 events and about 9000 K.sup.0 .sub.e3I3 radiative events. Our result is R=(924+-23.sub.stat+-16.sub.syst)x10.sup.-5 for the branching ratio and a(c)Xaa=-2.3+-1.3.sub.stat+-1.4.sub.syst for the effective strength parameter describing direct emission.
