Abstract:

We have observed τ pair production at average CM energies of 13.9, 22.3, 34.5 and 43.1 GeV. The cross-sections are consistent with QED, the cut off parameters being Λ+>161 GeV and Λ-169 GeV (95% CL). The topological branching fraction of the τ to 1 charged particle, B1, is 0.847±0.011 (stat)-0.013+0.016(syst) and no decays to 5 charged particles were observed resulting in B5<0.007 (95% CL). Within the 3 charged track final state B(τ-→π-π+π- v)/(B(τ-→π- π+π- v)+B(τ-→π-π+π -π0v))=0.37-0.20+0.35 © 1985 Springer-Verlag.

Abstract:

We have determined the average lifetime of hadrons containing b quarks produced in e+e- annihilation to be τB = 1.83 +0.83 +0.37 - -0.34×10-12s. Our method uses charged decay products from both non-leptonic and semileptonic decay modes. © 1984.
