نویسنده
چکیده
Hadronic decays of the τ lepton provide a clean source to study hadron dynamics in an energy regime dominated by resonances, with the interesting information captured in the spectral functions. Recent results on exclusive channels are reviewed. Inclusive spectral functions are the basis for QCD analyses, delivering an accurate determination of the strong coupling constant and quantitative information on nonperturbative contributions. Strange decays yield a determination of the strange quark mass.

Predictions based on the chirally normalized vector meson dominance model for decay rates and distributions of τ decays into Kππντ final states are discussed. Disagreements with experimental results can be traced back to the K1 widths. Hadronic τ decays into final states with kaons can provide detailed information about low energy hadron physics in the strange sector. Predictions for final stat...

The lifetimes of B + and B 0 mesons have been measured using the entire sample of 550,000 hadronic Z 0 decays collected by the SLD experiment at the SLC between 1993 and 1998. In this paper, we describe the inclusive analysis of the 350,000 hadronic Z 0 decays collected in 1997-98 with the upgraded SLD vertex detector. In this data period, a high statistics sample of 30903 (20731) charged (neut...

Λb matrix element of four-quark operator relevant to its lifetime is reanalyzed by QCD sum rule. The new ingredients introduced are that (1) more vacuum condensates are considered; (2) different quark-hadron duality is adopted; and (3) the possible deviation from the vacuum saturation assumption for the four quark condensates is considered. With κ1 = 4 the related hadronic parameter r is calcul...

This talk summarizes the recent developments in the evaluation of the leading order hadronic contributions to the running of the QED fine structure constant α(s), at s = M Z, and to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (g−2)μ. The accuracy of the theoretical prediction of these observables is limited by the uncertainties on the hadronic contributions. Significant improvement has been achie...
