We present the first measurement of the form factor ratios g1/f1 (direct axial vector to vector), g2/f1 (second class current), and f2/f1 (weak magnetism) for the decay Ξ0→Σ+e-ν̅ e using the KTeV (E799) beam line and detector at Fermilab. From the Σ+ polarization measured with the decay Σ+→pπ0 and the e--ν̅ correlation, we measure g1/f1 to be 1.32±0.170.21(stat)±0.05(syst), assuming the SU(3)f (flavor) values for g2/f1 and f2/f1. Our results are all consistent with exact SU(3)f symmetry.
