20. Motivation There are some controversies on the relative rates of charm vector (K * ) semileptonic decay to charm pseudoscalar (K) semileptonic decay.  Some theorist expected and MARKIII measured the rate to be.  But other theoretical predictions and experimental measurements tend to support a smaller rate.
