Description
The decay of the D meson into multibody final states is a complex process that provides valuable insights into the fundamental interactions within the Standard Model of particle physics. This study focuses on the decay cascade $D^{+}\to K^{*}_{J} \ell^{+}\nu \to K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp} \ell^{+}\nu$ where the $K^*_J$ resonance encompasses the $K^*(892),K^{*}(1410),K^{*}_0(1430)$ states. We employ the helicity amplitude technique to derive the angular distributions for the decay chain, enabling the extraction of one-dimensional and two-dimensional distributions. Utilizing form factors for the $D\to K^*$ transition derived from the quark model, we calculate the differential and integrated partial decay widths, explicitly considering the electron and muon masses.
