Abstract
We have used the CLEO II detector and of data to measure the -meson semileptonic branching fraction. The momentum spectrum was obtained over nearly the full momentum range by using charge and kinematic correlations in events with a high-momentum lepton tag and an additional electron. We find , with overall systematic uncertainties less than those of untagged single-lepton measurements. We use this result to calculate the magnitude of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element and to set an upper limit on the fraction of decays to final states other than .
