چکیده
We have performed the first search for CP violation in tau lepton decay. CP violation in lepton decay does not occur in the minimal standard model but can occur in extensions such as the multi-Higgs doublet model. It appears as a characteristic difference between the τ and τ decay angular distributions for the semi-leptonic decay modes such as τ → Kπν. We define an observable asymmetry to exploit this and find no evidence for any CP violation.

We have observed the decay B+ → D̄0K+, using 3.3 million BB̄ pairs collected with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. We find the ratio of branching fractions R ≡ B(B+ → D̄0K+)/B(B+ → D̄0π+) = 0.055 ± 0.014 ± 0.005.
متن کاملCp Violation in Charm
Recent results on searches for CP and CPT violation in the charm sector are presented. These results include limits on direct CP violation in several channels from the FOCUS and CLEO experiments. The first reported search for CPT violation in charm, a preliminary result by the FOCUS collaboration, is also presented. 1 Charm CP Violation Introduction CP violation is generally divided into three ...

I present two analyses done with the CLEOIII detector at CESR. The first is a search for the LFV decay Υ → µτ with preliminary results, and the second constrains Lepton Universality in Υ → τ τ relative to Υ → µµ. This second analysis, whose results are final, has dramatically improved uncertainties relative to other such measurements, and is also the first observation of the decay Υ(3S) → τ τ. ...

In this note radiative corrections to the total hadronic decay rate of the τ-lepton are studied employing perturbative QCD and the operator product expansion. We calculate quadratic quark mass corrections to the decay rate ration R τ to the order O(α 2 s m 2) and find that they contribute appreciably to the Cabbibo supressed decay modes of the τ-lepton. We also discuss corrections of mass dimen...
متن کاملSearch for Lepton Flavor Violation in τ decays at B-factories
We review recent searches for lepton flavor violation (LFV) in τ decays at the KEKB and PEPII B−factories. No evidence for such decays has been found and upper limits for various decay modes were obtained. A sensitivity to branching fractions of LFV decays is approaching ∼ 10 −8. These results improve by 1-2 orders of magnitude previous upper limits from CLEO and reach the level of some new phy...
