In the gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking models with scalar tau as the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle, a scalar lepton may decay dominantly into its superpartner, tau lepton, and the lightest scalar tau particle. We give…
We describe the implementation of supersymmetric models in PYTHIA 8, including production and decay of superparticles and allowing for violation of flavour, CP, and R-parity. We also present a framework for importing generic new-physics…
We report on analyses of tau lepton decays $\tau^- \to \eta K^- \nu_{\tau}$ and $\tau^- \to \eta \pi^- \nu_{\tau}$, with $\eta \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0$, using 470 fb$^{-1}$ of data from the Babar experiment at PEP-II, collected at…
The leptonic $\tau$ decays are calculated at the 1-loop level in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. The deviation from the $\tau - \mu - e$ universality is studied as a function of the supersymmetric parameters and discussed in the…
We use experimental data on $e^+e^- \to \eta (\eta^{\prime})\pi^+\pi^-$ and conservation of vector current to estimate the branching fractions of $\tau^-$ decay to $\eta (\eta^{\prime})\pi^-\pi^0\nu_{\tau}$. The obtained values are compared…
The Lorentz structure of the tau lepton's charged-current can almost be completely determined by use of stage-two spin-correlation functions for the $\{\rho ^{-},\rho ^{+}\}$and $\{a_1^{-},a_1^{+}\}$ decay modes. It is possible to test for…
Rare B decays provides an opportunity to probe for new physics beyond the standard model. the effective Hamiltonian for the decay $b \to s l^+ l^-$ predicts the characteristic polarization for the final state lepton. Lepton polarization…
We analyze tau lepton decay observables, namely moments of the hadronic spectral density in the finite energy interval (0,M_\tau), within finite order perturbation theory including \alpha_s^4 corrections. The start of asymptotic growth of…
The tau lepton lifetime has been measured with the e+e- -> tau+tau- events collected by the DELPHI detector at LEP in the years 1991-1995. Three different methods have been exploited, using both one-prong and three-prong tau decay channels.…
This Fifth International WEIN Symposium is devoted to physics beyond the standard model. This talk is about tau lepton physics, but I begin with the question: do we know how to find new physics in the world of elementary particles? This…
The Monte Carlo for lepton pair production andtau decays consist of KKMC for lepton pair production, tauola for tau lepton decays and photos for radiative corrections in decays. An effort for adaptation of the system for precision data…
We present a search for the decay B+ --> tau+ nu_tau using 467.8 x 10^6 B B-bar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II B-Factory. We select a sample of events with one completely…
The TauSpinner algorithm allows to modify the physics of the Monte Carlo generated samples due to the changed assumptions of event production dynamics, without re-generating events. To each event it attributes weights: the spin effects of…
This is a review of rare and forbidden decays of the $\tau$ lepton. For the rare decays, this includes new results on the chiral anomaly decay $\taupietapio$, new upper limits on the second-class-current decay $\taupieta$, and the…
We update our search for the lepton flavor violating tau -> mu gamma and tau -> e gamma decays based on 535/fb of data accumulated at the Belle experiment. No signal is found and we set preliminary 90% confidence level upper limits: B(tau…
We present a phenomenological study of tau-sleptons stau_1,2 and tau-sneutrino in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with complex parameters A_tau, mu and M_1. We analyse production and decays of stau_1,2 and tau-sneutrino at a…
tau -> (3 pions) nu_tau decays are analysed within the framework of the resonance effective theory of QCD. We work out the relevant Lagrangian that describes the axial-vector current hadronization contributing to these processes, in…
The status of the Monte Carlo programs for the simulation of tau-lepton production and decay in high-energy accelerator experiments is reviewed. No significant changes in the organization of the programs were introduced since previous TAU…
We study nonleptonic Lambda_b -> Lambda_c pi, Sigma_c pi and Sigma_c^* pi decays in the limit m_b, m_c, E_pi >> Lambda_{QCD} using the soft-collinear effective theory. Here Sigma_c = Sigma_c(2455) and Sigma_c^* = Sigma_c(2520). At leading…
