Anomalous Magnetic and Electric Dipole Moments of the Tau
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reviews the theoretical predictions for and the experimental measurements of the anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments of the tau lepton. In particular, recent analyses of the ee → ττγ process from the L3 and OPAL collaborations are described. The most precise results, from L3, for the anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments respectively are: aτ = 0.004 ± 0.027 ± 0.023 and dτ = (0.0 ± 1.5 ± 1.3) × 10 e·cm.

Inclusion of Tau Anomalous Magnetic and Electric Dipole Moments in the KORALZ Monte
We describe modifications made to KORALZ version 4.03 in order to allow for anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments of the τ. We discuss the verification of the method at LEP1 energies.
متن کاملRadiative Tau Lepton Pair Production as a Probe of Anomalous Electromagnetic Couplings of the Tau
We calculate the squared matrix element for the process ee → ττγ allowing for anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments at the ττγ vertex. No interferences are neglected and no approximations of light fermion masses are made. We show that anomalous moments affect not only the cross section, but also the shape of the photon energy and angular distributions. We also demonstrate that in the c...
متن کاملImproved Bounds on the Electromagnetic Dipole Moments of the Tau Lepton
Using electroweak data and an effective Lagrangian approach we obtain stringent bounds on the tau anomalous magnetic moment, −0.004 ≤ aτ ≤ 0.006, and on its electric dipole moment, |dτ | ≤ 1.1× 10 e cm. This significantly improves our previous bounds. With the same method, we obtain limits on the dipole moments of other fermions. ∗Laboratoire associé au C.N.R.S. — URA D0063.
متن کاملAnomalous magnetic and electric moments of τ and lepton flavor mixing matrix in effective lagrangian approach
In an effective lagrangian approach [1] to new physics, the authors in ref. [2] pushed tau anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments (AMDM and EDM) down to 10−11 and 10−25 e cm by using a Fritzsch-Xing lepton mass matrix ansatz. In this note, we find that, in this approach, there exists the connection between τ AMDM and EDM and the lepton flavor mixing matrix. By using the current neutrino...
متن کاملDiscrete Symmetries on the Light Front and a General Relation Connecting Nucleon Electric Dipole and Anomalous Magnetic Moments
We consider the electric dipole form factor, F3(q ), as well as the Dirac and Pauli form factors, F1(q ) and F2(q ), of the nucleon in the light-front formalism. We derive an exact formula for F3(q ) to complement those known for F1(q ) and F2(q ). We derive the light-front representation of the discrete symmetry transformations and show that time-reversaland parity-odd effects are captured by ...
