Banerjee, S

The similarity between the two-body tau decay into the pion and the neutrino and the pion decay into the muon and neutrino suggests the possibility of radiative tau decays (tau..--> pi nu../sub tau/..gamma.. and tau..-->..rho..nu../sub tau/..gamma..) analogous to radiative pion decay. These three-body decays can provide a means for determining the tau-neutrino mass. The decay tau..--> pi nu../sub tau/..gamma.. is useful for determining the sign and magnitude of the structure parameter ..gamma...
