Recent measurements of semileptonic $B$-meson decays into $\tau$-leptons are somewhat higher than expected in the standard model. Although the deviations are less than 3$\sigma$, they suggest the possibility of new physics affecting…

We search for lepton-number- and baryon-number-violating decays $\tau^{-}\to\overline{p}e^{+}e^{-}$, $pe^{-}e^{-}$, $\overline{p}e^{+}\mu^{-}$, $\overline{p}e^{-}\mu^{+}$, $\overline{p}\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$, and $p\mu^{-}\mu^{-}$ using 921…

Motivated by models proposed to explain the Standard Model anomalies, and the unprecedented $\tau^{+}\tau^{-}$ data to be collected by the Belle~II experiment during the next years, we study the kinematics of tau pair decays and propose a…

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…

In this paper we show that the excess of the tau tau events with respect to the Standard Model background predictions, observed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations and interpreted as the evidence of the Higgs-boson decay into a pair of…

We study the $L\to l l' l' \nu_l \nu_L$ decays ($L=\tau,\mu$; $l,l'=\mu,e$) in the Standard Model (SM) and in the effective field theory (EFT) description of the weak charged current at low energy, both for polarized and unpolarized $L$,…

We apply an analytic description to the inclusive decay of the $\tau$ lepton. We argue that this method gives not only a self-consistent description of the process both in the timelike region by using the initial expression for $R_\tau$ and…

We review current issues in exclusive semileptonic tau decays. We present the formalism of structure functions, and then discuss predictions for final states with kaons, for decays into four pions and for radiative corrections to the decay…

The Michel parameters of the leptonic tau decays are measured using the OPAL detector at LEP. The Michel parameters are extracted from the energy spectra of the charged decay leptons and from their energy-energy correlations. A new method…

We propose a new method to probe the magnetic and electric dipole moments of the $\tau$ lepton using precise measurements of the differential rates of radiative leptonic $\tau$ decays at high-luminosity $B$ factories. Possible deviations of…

The measurements of the mean lifetime of the tau lepton are reviewed. The conditions for measuring the lifetime at various e+e- colliders are compared and the analysis methods are briefly described. The new developments since the previous…

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…

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…

According to the Particle Data Group, the measurements of ${\cal B}(W^+ \to \tau^+ \nu_\tau)$ and ${\cal B}(W^+ \to \ell^+ \nu_\ell)$ ($\ell = e,\mu$) disagree with one another at the $2.3\sigma$ level. In this paper, we search for a…

We investigate leptonic decays $D_s \to \tau \nu_\tau$ and $B^+ \to \tau \nu_\tau$ in R-parity violating (RPV) supersymmetric standard model. Taking account of interference between the s-channel slepton exchange and the $t$-channel squark…

This article reviews the current theoretical and experimental status of the field of muon decay and its potential to search for new physics beyond the Standard Model. The importance of rare muon processes with lepton flavor violation is…

The \tau -> (\omega, \phi)P^-\nu decays, where P^-=\pi^-, K^-, are considered within a phenomenological model with dominance of meson intermediate states. We assume SU(3) flavor symmetry to fix some of the unknown strong interaction…

Using 4.68 fb^{-1} of e^+e^- annihilation data collected with the CLEO II detector we have studied tau radiative decays tau --> mu nu nu gamma and tau --> e nu nu gamma. For a 10 MeV minimum photon energy in the tau rest frame, the…

Lepton-flavour violating tau-decays are predicted in many extensions of the Standard Model at a rate observable at future collider experiments. In this article we focus on the decay tau to mu mu antimu, which is a promising channel to…

The pure leptonic or semileptonic character of tau decays makes them a good laboratory to test the structure of the weak currents and the universality of their couplings to the gauge bosons. The hadronic tau decay modes constitute an ideal…
