Abstract

Using the ARGUS detector at the DORIS II storage ring, we have studied {tau} decays with one or three charged particles in the final state, obtaining the following values for the branching ratios: BR({tau}{sup -} {yields} e{sup -}anti {nu}{sub e}{nu}{sub {tau}}) = (17.3 {+-} 0.4 {+-} 0.5)%, BR({tau}{sup -} {yields} {mu}{sup -}anti {nu}{sub {mu}}{nu}{sub {tau}}) = (17.2 {+-} 0.4 {+-} 0.5)%. BR({tau}{sup -} {yields} {pi}{sup -}{nu}{sub {tau}}) + BR({tau}{sup -} {yields} K{sup -}{nu}{sub {tau}}) = (11.7 {+-} 0.6 {+-} 0.8)%, and BR({tau}{sup -} {yields} 3 - prong) = (13.3 {+-} 0.3 {+-} 0.8)%. These measurements confirm the present world average with a precision, in each case, comparable to the error on the combination of all previous results. (orig.).
