Limits on $\nu_{\tau}$ mass by DELPHI

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2019-08-16 v1

Abstract

A limit on the tau neutrino mass is obtained using all the Z0τ+τZ^{0} \to \tau^{+} \tau^{-} data collected at LEP by the DELPHI detector between 1992 and 1995. In this analysis events in which one of the taus decays into one charged particle, while the second τ\tau decays into f{}ive charged pions (1-5 topology) have been used. The neutrino mass is determined from a bidimensional \fit ~on the invariant mass m5πm^{*}_{5 \pi} and on the energy E5πE_{5 \pi} of the f{}ive π±\pi^{\pm} system. The result found is mντ<m_{\nu_{\tau}}< 48.0 MeV/c2c^{2} at 95% conf{}idence level.
