Within our present knowledge, the tau is the heaviest lepton and the only one decaying into hadrons, a fact that makes it the source of a very rich phenomenology. It represents the third family of leptons in the Standard Model, a feature…

In a recent paper, 8 semileptonic parameters were defined to specify the most general Lorentz-invariant spin correlation functions for 2-body tau decays. These parameters can be used to search for anomalous longitudinal-versus transverse…
Semileptonic decays of polarised $\tau$ leptons are investigated. Predictions for the rate, based on CVC and chiral Lagrangians, are contrasted with experiments. Predictions for the angular distributions of three meson final states are…
