چکیده
From electron-positron collision data collected with the CLEO detector operating at Cornell Electron Storage Ring near sqrt[s]=10.6 GeV, improved measurements of the branching fractions for tau decays into three explicitly identified hadrons and a neutrino are presented as B(tau(-)-->pi(-)pi(+)pi(-)nu(tau))=(9.13+/-0.05+/-0.46)%, B(tau(-)-->K-pi(+)pi(-)nu(tau))=(3.84+/-0.14+/-0.38) x 10(-3), B(tau(-)-->K-K+pi(-)nu(tau))=(1.55+/-0.06+/-0.09) x 10(-3), and B(tau(-)-->K-K+K-nu(tau))<3.7 x 10(-5) at 90% C.L., where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.

A tau analysis using IDEA
A preliminary analysis has been conducted to examine the tau neutrino mass using τ → 5π ντ events from Delphi LEP 1 data. This has been performed using the recently developed Integrated DElphi Analysis framework (IDEA), the testing and evaluation of which was a motivation for this project. The physics of obtaining a limit on the tau neutrino mass is briefly described, with a discussion of the c...
متن کاملNew Results from Cleo-ii on Hadronic Decays of the Tau Lepton
Results on semi-hadronic decays of the τ lepton are presented, from studies of e+e− annihilation data obtained at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring with the CLEO-II detector. Branching fractions have been measured for decays to two, three and four hadrons, namely τ→ ντhπ, τ→ ντhhh, and τ→ντhhhπ, where h represents a charged pion or kaon. CLEO-II has also observed decays with charged and/or neut...
متن کاملon Hadronic Decays : A TAU 98 Review ∗
Unique among the leptons, the tau is massive enough to decay semi-hadronically. Many hadronic branching fractions are predicted with precision in the Standard Model, motivating correspondingly accurate measurements as probes of new physics. Tau decays also furnish a remarkably potent production source for mesons, the properties of which are then available for study. Although the internal incons...

متن کاملMass hierarchy of leptons and hadrons within the framework of electrodynamics
Structure of leptons and hadrons within the framework of electrodynamics is considered. Muon and tau-lepton have the structure of 3 electrons. The mass of muon is defined by the section of two-photon annihilation. The mass of tau-lepton is defined by the section of three-photon annihilation. Hadrons are characterized by the structure of 5 electrons. The masses of hadrons are defined via the mas...
