Neutrinoless tau-lepton decays into either three leptons (tau- -> l1- l2 l3) or one lepton and one K0S meson(tau- -> l- K0S) where lepton l means either an electron or muon, have been searched for using 48.6 fb^{-1} of data collected with…

Using a sample of 4.7/fb integrated luminosity accumulated with the CLEO-II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR), we have measured the branching fractions of the tau lepton into $K^- h^+ \pi^- \nu_\tau$ and $K^- K^+ \pi^-…
Light tensor mesons (T = a_2, f_2 and K_2^*) can be produced in decays of tau leptons. In this paper we compute the branching ratios of tau --> T pi nu decays by assuming the dominance of intermediate virtual states to model the form…
Within the resonance chiral theory, we have studied the process of a tau lepton decaying into a vector resonance plus a pseudo-Goldstone meson and a tau neutrino. Two kinds of processes are discussed: (a) tau- --> (rho pi-,omega pi-, phi…
We carry out the joint study of the semileptonic tau decays into the two-meson and axion-meson channels, viz. $\tau^-\to (P_1P_2)^-\nu_\tau$ and $\tau^-\to \pi^-(K^-) a\nu_\tau$ within the framework of resonance chiral theory by including…
We present the first observation of tau lepton decays to hadronic final states with a phi-meson. This analysis is based on 401 fb^-1 of data accumulated at the Belle experiment. The branching fraction obtained is B(tau- -> phi K- nu) =…
Recently there has been much interest in the tauonic semileptonic meson decays B -> D + tau + nu_tau and B -> D* + tau + nu_tau where one has found larger rates than what is predicted by the Standard Model. We analyze the corresponding…
We compute branching ratios and invariant mass distributions of the tau decays into four pions. The hadronic matrix elements are obtained by starting from the structure of the hadronic current in chiral limit and then implementing low-lying…
Motivated by the recent investigation of neutrinoless $\tau$-lepton decays by the CLEO collaboration, we perform a systematic analysis of such decays in a possible new-physics scenario with heavy Dirac/Majorana neutrinos, including…

The hadronic tau decay $\tau^- \to \nu_\tau \eta \pi^- \pi^0$ occurs through V-A weak current. In this decay mode, the vector current contribution is intrinsic parity violating and the axial current contribution is G parity violating. The…
Tau lepton decays with open strangeness in the final state are measured with the OPAL detector at LEP to determine the strange hadronic spectral function of the tau lepton. The decays T- ->(Kpi)-nu tau, (Kpipi)-nu tau and (Kpipipi) -nu tau…
Hadronic $\tau$ decays are studied as probe of new physics. We determine the dependence of several inclusive and exclusive $\tau$ observables on the Wilson coefficients of the low-energy effective theory describing charged-current…
We investigate the semileptonic and nonleptonic decays of $B_s$ mesons. We work within the context of nonrelativistic constituent quark models. We calculate the different form factors that parameterize the hadron matrix elements.
In the $U(3) \times U(3)$ quark NJL model, $\tau$ lepton decays with the production of scalar mesons $f_0(\pi,K])$ and neutrinos are studied, where $f_0=f_0(500), f_0(980)$. It is shown that these decays mainly occur via contact channels…
The semileptonic kaon decays $K_{l2\gamma}$ and $K_{l3}$ are considered. We use the most general forms of the matrix elements for these decays. Additional terms could arise as a result of new tensor interactions between quarks and leptons.…
