Charged-lepton-flavor-violation is predicted in several new physics scenarios. We update the analysis of $\tau$ lepton decays into a light charged lepton ($\ell$ = $e^{\pm}$ or $\mu^{\pm}$) and a vector meson ($V^0$ = $\rho^0$, $\phi$,…
Energy and angular distributions of the tau decay products in the CERN-to-Gran Sasso $\nu_\tau$ appearance experiments are studied for the decay modes $\tau\to\pi\nu$ and $\tau\to l\bar\nu\nu$ (l=e or mu). We find that the decay particle…

We study semileptonic decays $B^\pm \to \eta^{(\prime)} l \nu$, which are suggested to be used to extract the hadronic form factors of $B$ meson decays to $\eta(\eta^{\prime})$ and the angle of $\eta-\eta^{\prime}$ mixing. This would be of…
Originally thought as clean processes to study the hadronization of the weak currents, semileptonic tau lepton decays can be useful to set constraints on non-standard (NS) weak interactions. In this talk we summarize our recent studies on…

We measure the mass of the tau lepton to be 1775.1+-1.6(stat)+-1.0(syst.) MeV using tau pairs from Z0 decays. To test CPT invariance we compare the masses of the positively and negatively charged tau leptons. The relative mass difference is…
