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([tau]- 2![pi]-[pi]-[pi]+[nu][tau]) =(8.83±0.01±0.13)%, B([tau]- 2!K-[pi]-[pi]+[nu][tau]) =(0.273± 0.002 ± 0.009)%, B([tau]- 2!K-[pi]-K+[nu][tau]) =(0.1346 ± 0.0010 ± 0.0036)%, and B([tau]- 2!K-K-K+[nu][tau]) =(1.58 ± 0.13 ± 0.12) × 10-5 are measured where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The invariant mass distribution for the [tau]- 2![pi]-[pi]-[pi]+[nu][tau], [tau]- 2!K-[pi]-[pi]+[nu][tau], [tau]- 2!K-[pi]-K+[nu][tau] and [tau]- 2!K-K-K+[nu][tau] decays are unfolded to correct for detector effects. A measurement of B([tau]- 2![phi][pi]-[nu][tau]) =(3.42±0.55±0.25)×10-5, a measurement of B([tau]- 2![phi]K-[nu][tau]) =(3.39±0.20±0.28)× 10-5 and an upper limit on B([tau]- 2!K-K-K+[nu][tau] [ex.[phi]]) d"2.5 × 10-6@90%CL are determined from a binned maximum likelihood fit of the [tau]- 2!K-[pi]-K+[nu][tau] and [tau]- 2!K-K-K+[nu][tau] K+K- invariant mass distributions. The branching ratio B([tau]-2!-[nu][tau])/ B([tau]-2!pi]-[nu][tau]) is measured to be (6.531±0.056±0.093)×10-2 from which.
The II International Workshop on Tau Lepton Physics was held in Ohio, USA in September 1992. Its purpose is to gather the experts on tau lepton physics to examine the current understanding of the tau lepton physics and to assess future prospects. A particular emphasis of the Workshop was a detailed examination of the '1-prong problem': the discrepancy between the inclusive measurement of one-charged-particle decay branching ratio and the sum of the exclusive decays. The Workshop also stimulated new ideas on tests of the Standard Model using the third generation lepton and assessed the future prospects of the lepton physics.
Measurements of the [tau] decay modes are reviewed and compared with the predictions of the Standard Model. While the agreement is generally good, the status of the 1-prong puzzle'' remains controversial and a discrepancy between the measured leptonic branching fractions and the [tau] lifetime persists. Prospects for precision measurements at a Tau-Charm Factory are also reviewed. 20 refs., 2 tabs.
'The editors make a good point in claiming the time has come to upgrade the Standard Model into the ‘Standard Theory’ of particle physics, and I think this book deserves a place in the bookshelves of a broad community, from the scientists and engineers who contributed to the progress of high-energy physics to younger physicists, eager to learn and enjoy the corresponding inside stories.'Carlos LourençoCERN CourierThe book gives a quite complete and up-to-date picture of the Standard Theory with an historical perspective, with a collection of articles written by some of the protagonists of present particle physics. The theoretical developments are described together with the most up-to-date experimental tests, including the discovery of the Higgs Boson and the measurement of its mass as well as the most precise measurements of the top mass, giving the reader a complete description of our present understanding of particle physics.
