Abstract

We show that transverse and normal single-tautau polarization of tautau pairs produced at e+e^+ ee^- unpolarized collisions, at the ZZ peak, are sensitive to weak (magnetic and electric) dipole moments of the tautau. We also show how these components of the τ\tau polarization are accessible by measuring appropriate azimuthal asymmetries in the angular distribution of its decay products. Sensitivities of the order of 101810^{-18} ecme\cdot cm, for the weak-electric dipole moment, and 10410^{-4} (10310^{-3}), for the real (imaginary) part of the weak-magnetic dipole moment of τ\tau, may be achieved. Compatible bounds are also presented from spin-spin correlated asymmetries.
