Measurement of the branching fractions of the radiative leptonic τ decays τ→eγνν[bar] and τ→μγνν[bar] at BABAR
Chicago
Abstract
We perform a measurement of the τ→lγνν [bar] (l=e,μ) branching fractions for a minimum photon energy of 10 MeV in the τ rest frame, using 431 fb^(−1) of e^+ e^− collisions collected at the center-of-mass energy of the Υ(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage rings. We find B(τ→μγνν [bar])=(3.69±0.03±0.10)×10^(−3) and B(τ→eγνν[bar]¯ )=(1.847±0.015±0.052)×10^(−2), where the first quoted error is statistical and the second is systematic. These results are substantially more precise than previous measurements.
