The recent experimental estimate for tau lepton mass comes significantly near to a theoretical value proposed by us in 1992. We recall our argumentation supporting this proposal.
The starting point in this note is the charged-lepton mass formula successfully predicting the figure m_\tau = 1776.80 MeV for \tau-lepton mass versus its recent experimental value m_\tau = 1776.82 \pm 0.16 MeV. There, two experimental…
Tau lepton as one of three elementary leptons in nature, the measurement of its mass has ever been performed since its discovery. The present relative accuracy is already at the level of better than 10 to minus 4 and more effects are still…
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…
An explicit form of charged--lepton mass matrix, predicting $ m_\tau = 1776.80 $~MeV from the experimental values of $ m_e $ and $ m_\mu$ (in good agreement with the experimental figure $ m_\tau = 1777.05^{+0.29}_{-0.26}$ MeV), is applied…
The lepton mass ratios are calculated using a geometric unified theory, taking the leptons as the only three possible families of topological excitations of the electron or the neutrino. The theoretical results give 107.5916 Mev for the…
The mass of the $\tau$-lepton has been measured in the decay modes $\tau \to 3\pi \nu_\tau$ and $\tau \to 3\pi \pi^0\nu_\tau$ using a pseudomass technique. The preliminary result is $1776.71\pm 0.25 {(stat)} \pm 0.62 {(syst)}$ MeV. The…
A new measurement of the mean lifetime of the tau lepton is presented. Three different analysis methods are applied to a sample of 90000 tau pairs, collected in 1993 and 1994 with the ALEPH detector at LEP. The average of this measurement…
The mass of the $\tau$ lepton has been measured in the decay mode $\tau \to 3\pi \nu_\tau$ using a pseudomass technique. The result obtained from $414 \mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of data collected with the Belle detector is $M_\tau = (1776.61\pm 0.13…
A suggestive phenomenological relation is found among the lepton and quark masses which suggests a new insight into the problem of generations and also gives a prediction for the top quark mass in agreement with the range of values which is…
We present an overall empirical formula that, after specification of its free parameters, describes precisely the mass spectrum of charged leptons and is suggested to reproduce correctly also the mass spectra of neutrinos and up and down…
In the framework of a mass formula proposed previously (transforming in a specific way three free parameters into three masses), a simple empirical sum rule for three charged-lepton masses is found, predicting m_\tau = 1776.9926 MeV, when…
The recent devolopment on the charged lepton mass forumula m_e+m_{\mu}+m_{\tau}={2/3}(\sqrt{m_e}+\sqrt{m_\mu}+\sqrt{m_{\tau}})^2 is reviewed. An S_3 or A_4 model will be promising for the mass relation.
Based on the experimental data and estimations of the charged leptons and quarks masses, a close power law with exponent 3/4 has been found, connecting charged leptons masses and up quarks masses. A similar mass relation has been suggested…
A specific universal shape of empirical mass formula is proposed for all leptons $\nu_1, \nu_2, \nu_3$ and $e^-, \mu^-, \tau^- $ as well as all quarks $u, c, t$ and $d, s, b$ of three generations, parametrized by three free constants $ \mu,…
A charged lepton mass formula $(m_e +m_\mu + m_\tau)/(\sqrt{m_e}+\sqrt{m_\mu} + \sqrt{m_\tau})^2 =2/3$ is well-known. Since we can, in general, have two relations for three quantities, we may also expect another relation for the charged…
According to our microscopic cosmological model, masses of charged leptons are induced by curvatures of hyper-spherical surfaces embedded in a 3D time-like subspace, leading to a solution of the lepton mass hierarchy problem and to a…
In order to obtain the mass of $\tau$ lepton at BESIII precisely, a beam energy measurement system was built at BEPCII. A scenario for high precision $\tau$ mass measurement was put forth before data taken. More than 130 $pb^{-1}$ $\tau$…
The status of the experiment on the precise $\tau$ lepton mass measurement running at the VEPP-4M collider with the KEDR detector is reported. The mass value is evaluated from the $\tau^+\tau^-$ cross section behaviour around the production…
