In spring 2003, the B physics era ended for the CLEO experiment with a final run at the Y(5S) resonance. Over the summer the experiment and the CESR accelerator were modified to operate at lower center-of-mass energies between 3 and 5 GeV.…
CP violation at low energy is investigated at the tau electromagnetic vertex. High statistics at B factories, and on top of the Upsilon resonances, allows a detailed investigation of CP-odd observables related to the tau-pair production.…
Charged lepton flavor violation is forbidden in the Standard Model but possible in several new physics scenarios. In many of these models, the radiative decays $\tau^{\pm}\rightarrow\ell^{\pm}\gamma$ ($\ell=e,\mu$) are predicted to have a…
The anomalous weak dipole moments of the tau lepton are measured in a data sample collected by ALEPHfrom 1990 to 1995 corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 155pb-1. Tau leptons produced in the reaction e+e- -> tau+tau- at energies…
Tau leptons are powerful tools to probe physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). The Belle II experiment is installed at the SuperKEKB asymmetric energy electron-positron collider and aims at collecting the world's largest sample of tau pair…
Analytic expressions are given for the $\tau$ decays into three charged leptons, $\tau\rta \ell\ell\overline \ell\nu_\tau\overline \nu_\ell$, where the $\ell$ are combinations of electrons and muons, and for the radiative decays $\tau\rta…
Semileptonic decays of $B$ mesons to the tau lepton, despite of experimental difficulties, are of great importance. In particular they are sensitive probes of models with extended Higgs sectors. The results of studies of semitauonic B…
Measurements of tau lepton, because of its long lifetime, large mass and parity sensitive couplings lead to broad physics interest. From the perspective of high-energy experiments such as at LHC, knowledge of tau lepton properties offers an…
The CLEO detector is located at the CESR e+e- collider in Ithaca, NY. CLEO's wide range of experimental measurements in b-hadron decays is represented by improved measurements of Vcb and Vub, rare B decays, and bb-bar spectroscopy. New…
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…
The CLEO-c research program will include studies of leptonic, semileptonic and hadronic charm decays, searches for exotic and gluonic matter, and test for physics beyond the Standard Model. The experiment and the CESR accelerator were…
We discuss the test of CP and CPT violation in $\tau$ decay without using the polarized electron beam by comparing partial fractions of $\tau^-$ and $\tau^+$ decay into channels with strong final state interactions. For example,…
Recent results on tau physics from BaBar are reviewed. Limits on lepton-flavor violation in the tau decay process tau->lll are presented based on 91.6 fb^1 of data. In all six decay modes considered, the numbers of events found in data are…
In this talk I discuss the role of heavy quarks in new physics searches with tau leptons. I focus on new physics effects associated to the scalar sector which are naturally enhanced for the heaviest fermions due to the large hierarchy of…
We report the recent results of a search for lepton-flavor-violating tau decays and a search for CP violation in tau to nu Ks pi using a large data sample accumulated with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider.…
The recent observation of the purely leptonic decay B^\pm\to \tau^\pm\nu_\tau at the B factories permits a sizeable contribution from a charged Higgs boson (H^\pm). Such a H^\pm would also contribute to the decays D^\pm_s\to \mu^\pm\nu_\mu…
We shortly review and emphasize how l_j -> l_i gamma experiments and the searches for lepton e.d.m. are constraining New Physics model building. They are pure signals of new phenomena around the TeV scale since the SM contributions are…
We consider a spin-0 unparticle and calculate its contribution to the weak properties of a fermion, which in the proper limit reduce to previously reported results for the electromagnetic properties. We then obtain an estimate for the…

Decays of the kind $B^0_{s,d}\to\ell^+\ell^-$ belong to the most favourable processes for probing the flavour structure of the Standard Model, with outstanding sensitivity to new (pseudo)-scalar contributions. While the branching ratio of…
