Abstract

The hadronic current for the τ⁻ → π⁻π⁺π⁻ν_τ decay calculated in the framework of the Resonance Chiral Theory with an additional modification to include the σ meson is described. In addition, implementation into the Monte Carlo generator Tauola and fitting strategy to get the model parameters using the one-dimensional distributions are discussed. The results of the fit to one-dimensional mass invariant spectrum of the BaBar data are presented.

MC generator TAUOLA: Implementation of resonance chiral theory for two and three meson modes. Comparison with experiment

Journal Article Shekhovtsova, O ; Nugent, I M ; Przedzinski, T ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

We present a partial upgrade of the Monte Carlo event generator TAUOLA with the two and three hadron decay modes using the theoretical models based on Resonance Chiral Theory. These modes account for 88% of total hadronic width of the tau meson. First results of the model parameters have been obtained using BaBar data for 3{pi} mode.

Precision Measurements of Tau Lepton Decays

Thesis/Dissertation Nugent, Ian M.

Using data collected with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II electron-positron storage ring operating at a centre-of-mass energy near 10.58 GeV, the branching fractions B(τ^- → π^-π^-π⁺ντ) =(8.83±0.01±0.13)%, B(τ^- → K^-π^-π⁺ντ) =(0.273± 0.002 ± 0.009)%, B(τ^- → K^-π^-K+ντ) =(0.1346 ± 0.0010 ± 0.0036)%, and B(τ^- → K^-K^-K+ντ) =(1.58 ± 0.13 ± 0.12) × 10^-5 are measured where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The invariant mass distribution for the τ^- → π^-π^-π+ντ , τ^- → K^-π^-π+ντ , τ^- → K^-π^-K+ντ and τ^- → K^-K^-K+ντ decays are unfolded to correct for detector effects. A measurement of B(τ^- → φπ^-ντ ) =(3.42±0.55±0.25)×10^-5, a measurement of B(τ^- → φK^-ντ) =(3.39±0.20±0.28)× 10^-5 and an upper limit on B(τ^- → K^-K^-K+ντ [ex.φ]) ≤ 2.5 × 10^-6@90%CL are determined from a binned maximum likelihood fit of the τ^- → K^-π^-K+ντ and τ^- → K^-K^-K+ντ K+K^- invariant mass distributions. The branching ratio B(τ^-→K^-ν_τ )/ B(τ^-→π^-ν_τ ) is measured to be (6.531±0.056±0.093)×10^-2 from which |Vus| is determined to be 0.2255 ± 0.0023. The branching ratio B(τ^-→μ^-ν_τmore »« less

Measurement and Interpretation of Moments of the Combined Hadronic Mass and Energy Spectrum in Inclusive Semileptonic B-Meson Decays

Thesis/Dissertation Klose, Verena

This thesis presents first measurements of moments of the hadronic n_X² distribution measured in inclusive semileptonic decays of B mesons to final states containing a charm quark, B → X_cℓν. The variable n_X² is a combination of the invariant mass of the charmed meson m_X, its energy in the B-meson rest-frame E_X;BRF, and a constant ~Λ = 0.65 GeV, n_X² = m_X²c⁴-2~ΛE_X,BRF + ~Λ². The moments <n_X^k> with k = 2,4,6 are measured as proposed by theory to constrain assumptions made in the theoretical description of inclusive observables in semileptonic B-meson decays. This description uses Heavy Quark Expansion (HQE), an effective QCD combined with an Operator Product Expansion. The measurement is based on a sample of 231.6 million e⁺e^- → Υ(4S) {yields} Bmore »« less

Measurement of Cabibbo-Suppressed Tau Lepton Decays and the Determination of |Vus|

Thesis/Dissertation Schenk, Stefan

This work presents simultaneous branching fraction measurements of the decay modes τ^- → K^- nπ⁰ν_τ with n = 0,1,2,3 and τ^- → π^- nπ⁰ν_τ with n = 3,4. The analysis is based on a data sample of 427 x 106 τ⁺τ^- pairs recorded with the BABAR detector, which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 464.4 fb^-1. The measured values are β(τ^- → K^-ν_τ ) = (6.57 ± 0.03 ± 0.11) x 10^-3, β(τ^- → K^-π⁰ν_τ ) = (4.61 ± 0.03 ± 0.11) x 10^-3, β(τ^- {yields} K^- π⁰π⁰ν_τ) = (5.05 ± 0.17 ± 0.44) x 10^-4, β(τ^- {yields} K^-π⁰π⁰π⁰ν_τ )more »« less

Strong coupling from an improved $τ$ vector isovector spectral function

Journal Article Boito, Diogo ; Golterman, Maarten ; Maltman, Kim ; ... - Physical Review D

We combine ALEPH and OPAL results for the spectral distributions measured in τ→π^–π⁰ν_τ, τ→2π^–π⁺π⁰ν_τ and τ→π^–3π⁰ν_τ decays with (i) recent BaBar results for the analogous τ→K^–K⁰ν_τ distribution and (ii) estimates of the contributions from other hadronic τ-decay modes obtained using CVC and electroproduction data, to obtain a new and more precise non-strange, inclusive vector, isovector spectral function. The BaBar K^–K⁰ and CVC/electroproduction results provide us with alternate, entirely data-based input for the contributions of all exclusive modes for which ALEPH and OPAL employed Monte-Carlo-based estimates. We use the resulting spectral function to determine αs(mτ), the strong coupling at the τ mass scale, employing finite energy sum rules. Using the fixed-order perturbation theory (FOPT) prescription, we find α_s(m_τ)=0.3077±0.0075, which corresponds to the five-flavor result α_s(M_Z)=0.1171±0.0010 at the Z mass. While we also provide an estimate using contour-improved perturbation theory (CIPT), we point out that the FOPT prescription is to be preferred for comparison with other α_s determinations employing themore »« less
