We present the results of a search for the charged-lepton-flavor violating decays $B^0 \rightarrow K^{*0}\tau^\pm \ell^{\mp}$, where $\ell^{\mp}$ is either an electron or a muon. The results are based on 365 fb$^{-1}$ and 711 fb$^{-1}$…

We review world-average measurements of the tau lepton electroweak couplings, in both decay (including Michel parameters) and in production ($Z^0\to \tau^+\tau^-$ and $W^-\to\tau^-\nubar_\tau$). We review the searches for anomalous weak and…
The anomalous magnetic moment of the tau lepton, a_tau = (g_tau - 2)/2, is a sensitive probe of new physics but is extremely difficult to measure precisely in contrast to electron and muon moments. The best experimental limits were set by…
Among the charged leptons, the $\tau$ electric dipole moment~($d_\tau$) is the least constrained. We show that the Im[$d_\tau$] imposes strong constraints on new physics that have yet to be discussed. Motivated in particular by the Super…
