Book Description
The authors present the result of a precision measurement of the mass of the? lepton, M{sub?}, based on 423 fb−1 of data recorded at the?(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector. Using a pseudomass endpoint method, they determine the mass to be 1776.68 ± 0.12(stat) ± 0.41(syst) MeV. They also measure the mass difference between the? and {tau}−, and obtain (M{sub {tau}+} - M{sub {tau}−})/M{sub AVG}{sup {tau}} = ( -3.4 ± 1.3(stat) ± 0.3(syst)) x 10−4, where M{sub AVG}{sup {tau}} is the average value of M{sub {tau}+} and M{sub {tau}−}.

Book Description
Using data collected with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II electron-positron storage ring operating at a centre-of-mass energy near 10.58 GeV, the branching fractions B([tau]- 2![pi]-[pi]-[pi]+[nu][tau]) =(8.83±0.01±0.13)%, B([tau]- 2!K-[pi]-[pi]+[nu][tau]) =(0.273± 0.002 ± 0.009)%, B([tau]- 2!K-[pi]-K+[nu][tau]) =(0.1346 ± 0.0010 ± 0.0036)%, and B([tau]- 2!K-K-K+[nu][tau]) =(1.58 ± 0.13 ± 0.12) × 10-5 are measured where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The invariant mass distribution for the [tau]- 2![pi]-[pi]-[pi]+[nu][tau], [tau]- 2!K-[pi]-[pi]+[nu][tau], [tau]- 2!K-[pi]-K+[nu][tau] and [tau]- 2!K-K-K+[nu][tau] decays are unfolded to correct for detector effects. A measurement of B([tau]- 2![phi][pi]-[nu][tau]) =(3.42±0.55±0.25)×10-5, a measurement of B([tau]- 2![phi]K-[nu][tau]) =(3.39±0.20±0.28)× 10-5 and an upper limit on B([tau]- 2!K-K-K+[nu][tau] [ex.[phi]]) d"2.5 × 10-6@90%CL are determined from a binned maximum likelihood fit of the [tau]- 2!K-[pi]-K+[nu][tau] and [tau]- 2!K-K-K+[nu][tau] K+K- invariant mass distributions. The branching ratio B([tau]-2!-[nu][tau])/ B([tau]-2!pi]-[nu][tau]) is measured to be (6.531±0.056±0.093)×10-2 from which.

Measurement of the Tau Lepton Mass by the Beijing Spectrometer (BES) Collaboration

Book Description
The mass of the [tau] lepton has been measured at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider using the Beijing Spectrometer. A search near threshold for e[sup +]e[sup [minus]] [yields] [tau][sup +][tau][sup [minus]] was performed. Candidate events were identified by requiring that one [tau] decay via [tau] [yields] e[nu][bar [nu]], and the other via [tau] [yields] [mu][nu][bar [nu]]. The mass value, obtained from a fit to the energy dependence of the [tau][sup +][tau][sup [minus]] cross section, is m[sub [tau]] = 1776.9[sub -0.5][sup +0.4] [plus minus] 0.2 MeV.

Measurement of the Tau Lepton Lifetime with BaBar

Pages : 8
Book Description
The mean lifetime of the tau lepton is measured from the decay length distribution of 3-prong tau decays from e{sup +}e{sup -} collisions at the {Upsilon}(4S) resonance. A data sample of 80.0 fb{sup -1} collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B Factory is used for this measurement. The measured tau lifetime is: {tau}{sub {tau}} = 289.40 {+-} 0.91 (stat.) {+-} 0.90 (syst.) fs. All the results are preliminary.
