The Tau Missing Decay Modes Problem and Limits on a Second Tau Neutrino*
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper quantitatively considers the hypothesis that the tau missing mode problem might be explained by the existence of a second and massive tau neutrino, with mass less than the tau mass. I find that the tau missing mode problem cannot be explained when the hypothesis is formulated according to conventional weak interaction concepts.

Primordial nucleosynthesis with a decaying tau neutrino.
A comprehensive study of the effect of an unstable tau neutrino on primordial nucleosynthesis is presented. The standard code for nucleosynthesis is modified to allow for a massive decaying tau neutrino whose daughter products include neutrinos, photons, e pairs, and/or noninteracting (sterile) daughter products. Tau-neutrino decays influence primordial nucleosynthesis in three distinct ways: (...
متن کاملThe Tau Lepton and the Search for New Elementary Particle
This Fifth International WEIN Symposium is devoted to physics beyond the standard model. This talk is about tau lepton physics, but I begin with the question: do we know how to nd new physics in the world of elementary par-ticles? This question is interwoven with the various tau physics topics. These topics are: searching for unexpected tau decay modes; searching for additional tau decay mechan...
متن کاملLepton-Flavor Violating Decay of Tau Lepton in the Supersymmetric Seesaw Model
Now the bounds on the lepton-flavor violating (LFV) decay modes of tau lepton are being improved by the Belle experiment in the KEK B factory. In this paper the LFV decay of tau lepton is discussed in the supersymmetric seesaw model, using the current neutrino oscillation data.
متن کاملTau Electroweak Couplings
We review world-average measurements of the tau lepton electroweak couplings, in both decay (including Michel parameters) and in production (Z → ττ and W → τ−ντ ). We review the searches for anomalous weak and EM dipole couplings. Finally, we present the status of several other tau lepton studies: searches for lepton flavor violating decays, neutrino oscillations, and tau neutrino mass limits.
متن کاملTHE PC-TAU METHOD ON THE SOLUTION OF A MODEL OF AN ISOLATED COSMIC STRING
In this paper, we adapt the operational Tau Method for personal computers and apply it to a system of two nonlinear second order ordinary differential equations which are related to general relativity. The interesting behaviour this problem exhibits in its numerical treatment is discussed. In this problem, we try to use the Tau perturbation term to locate the correct solution of this nonlin...
