چکیده
Using a sample of tagged D(s)(+) decays collected near the D(s)(*+/-)D(s)(-/+) peak production energy in e(+)e(-) collisions with the CLEO-c detector, we study the leptonic decay D(s)(+)-->tau(+)nu(tau) via the decay channel tau(+)-->e(+)nu(e)nu(tau). We measure B(D(s)(+)-->tau(+)nu(tau))=(6.17+/-0.71+/-0.34)%, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. Combining this result with our measurements of D(s)(+)-->mu(+)nu(mu) and D(s)(+)-->tau(+)nu(tau) (via tau(+)-->pi(+)nu(tau)), we determine f(D(s))=(274+/-10+/-5) MeV.

Absolute determination of Ds branching ratios and fDs extraction at a neutrino factory
A method for a direct measurement of the exclusive Ds branching ratios and of the decay constant fDs with a systematical error better than 5% is presented. The approach is based on the peculiar vertex topology of the anti-neutrino induced diffractive charm events. The statistical accuracy achievable with a neutrino factory is estimated.
متن کاملFirst Measurement of the Branching Fraction of e + e − → B 0 B 0
We report the first measurement of the absolute branching fraction ee → BB at the Υ (4S) resonance using data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy ee storage ring. The analysis is performed with partial reconstruction of the decay B → Dlν̄l, where the presence of a signal decay is determined using only the lepton and the soft pion from the D∗ decay. By reconstructing...
متن کاملObservation of radiative leptonic decay of the tau lepton
Using 4.68 fb(-1) of e(+)e(-) annihilation data collected with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have studied tau radiative decays tau(-)-->nu(tau)&mgr;(-)nu;(&mgr;)gamma and tau(-)-->nu(tau)e(-)nu;(e)gamma. For a 10 MeV minimum photon energy in the tau rest frame, the branching fraction for radiative tau decay to a muon or electron is measured to be (3.61+/-0.16+/-0...
متن کاملNew CLEO Results on Tau Physics
New, preliminary tau physics results are reported from tau-pair data acquired with the CLEO 11 detector operating at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. The tau m~s is measured as m, = 1777.6 + 0.9 + 1.5 MeV/cz by exploiting the kinematics of events in which both taus decay hadronicdly. The electronic branching fraction is determined to be B,=O. 1742+0.0015+0.0023 by counting di-electron tau-pai...
متن کاملA Statistical Study of Tau Decay Data*
. . L. In the measured decay properties of the tau there is a discrepancy between the total branching fraction for the one charged particle decay modes and the sum of the branching fractions for the known individual modes. This discrepancy _ ‘is derived from about 60 different measurements of branching fractions and some use of weak interaction theory. Our statistical study of these 60 measurem...
