$\tau$ is playing an important role in the current B-physics indications from experiments of lepton flavor universality violations(LFUV). This suggests it be given increasing attention theoretically in the coming years, given also the fact…
In this paper we discuss the possibility of measuring the anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments of the $\tau$ lepton. The method consists in studying the spin precession induced by the strong effective magnetic field inside…
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…
Using data collected with the L3 detector at LEP from 1992 to 1995 on the Z peak, we determine the branching fractions of the tau lepton into one, three and five charged particles to be: B(tau->(1-prong)) = 85.274 +- 0.105 +- 0.073 %,…
An overview of tau lepton physics is presented, using the tau lepton discovery and its precision measurements as examples to illustrate the importance of the energy region to be covered by the super tau-charm factory. By presenting the…
We study the phenomenology of the \tau^- \to \pi^- \nu_\tau \ell^+ \ell^- decays (\ell = e, \mu), predicting the respective branching ratios and di-lepton invariant-mass spectra. In addition to the model-independent (QED) contributions, we…
This PhD thesis studies some hadronic and radiative decays of the tau lepton using a Chiral Lagrangian including resonance fields. After a theoretical introduction, the decays to the $(\pi \pi \pi)^-$, $(KK\pi)^-$ and $\eta^{(\prime)} \pi^-…
Recent experimental results on exclusive semi-tauonic B meson decays, B -> D(*) tau nu, showing sizable deviations from the standard model prediction, suggest a new physics in which the structure of the relevant weak charged interaction may…
We present a search for the decay B+ --> tau+ nu_tau using 467.8 x 10^6 B B-bar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II B-Factory. We select a sample of events with one completely…
The tau lepton lifetime is measured with the L3 detector at LEP using the complete data taken at centre-of-mass energies around the Z pole resulting in tau_tau = 293.2 +/- 2.0 (stat) +/- 1.5 (syst) fs. The comparison of this result with the…
The evolution of the determination of the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ from the leptonic branching ratios, the lifetime, and the invariant mass distributions of the hadronic final state of the $\tau$ lepton over the last two decades…
Evidence of a new particle with mass ~125 GeV decaying into a pair of tau leptons at the Large Hadron Collider spurs interest in ascertaining its spin in this channel. Here we present a comparative study between spin-0 and spin-2 nature of…
While the anomalous magnetic moments of the electron and the muon have been measured with remarkable precision, the magnetic moment of the $\tau$-lepton is only known to rather limited precision. A promising approach to measure it exploits…
We present a novel method for the reconstruction of events containing pairs of hadronically decaying tau leptons at collider experiments. This method relies on accurate knowledge of the tau production vertex and precise measurement of its…
The results of two methods to extract the strong coupling constant, $\alpha_s$, are reviewed for the LEP experiments. In the first, scaling violations in the scaled momentum distributions of charged particles at LEP and at lower energy…
The vector and scalar form factors relevant to the second-class current $\tau^-\to\pi^-\eta^{(\prime)}\nu_\tau$ processes are evaluated supplementing Chiral Perturbation Theory with the inclusion of resonances as explicit degrees of…
The future FCC-ee collider is designed to deliver $\mathrm{e^+e^-}$ collisions to study with ultimate precision the Z, W, and Higgs bosons, and the top quark. In a high-statistics scan around the Z pole, $1.3\times 10^{11}$ events…
We point out that at future hadron colliders the ratio of cross sections for $pp\to Z'\to \ell^+\ell^-$ in two rapidity bins is a useful probe of the relative couplings of the $Z'$ to $u$ and $d$ quarks. Combined with the forward-backward…
The recent devolopment on the charged lepton mass forumula m_e+m_{\mu}+m_{\tau}={2/3}(\sqrt{m_e}+\sqrt{m_\mu}+\sqrt{m_{\tau}})^2 is reviewed. An S_3 or A_4 model will be promising for the mass relation.
A search for the neutrinoless, lepton-flavor violating decay of the tau lepton into three charged leptons has been performed using an integrated luminosity of 468 fb^-1 collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II collider. In all six…
