Search for third generation leptoquarks in anti-p p collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.8-TeV

We present the results of a search for third generation leptoquark (LQ) pairs in 110±8pb−1of p¯p collisions at s=1.8TeV recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We assume third generation leptoquarks decay to a τ lepton and a b quark with branching ratio β. We observe one candidate event, consistent with standard model background expectations. We place upper limits on σ(p¯p→LQLQ¯)̇β2 as a function of the leptoquark mass MLQ. We exclude at 95% confidence level scalar leptoquarks with MLQ<99GeV/c2, gauge vector leptoquarks with MLQ<225GeV/c2, and nongauge vector leptoquarks with MLQ<170GeV/c2 for β=1.

$\tau$ Leptonic Branching Ratios and a Search for Goldstone Decay

The MARK-III collaboration Baltrusaitis, R.M. ; Becker, J. ; Blaylock, G. ; et al.

Inspire Record 215995 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20284

Pairs of τ leptons produced at s=3.77 GeV have been studied in eμ, ee, and μμ final states. The leptonic branching ratios have been measured to be B(τ→eνν)=(18.2±0.7±0.5)% and B(τ→μνν)=(18.0±1.0±0.6)%. Limits have been set for the two-body decays τ→eG and τ→μG, where G is a light Goldstone boson.

Evidence for the tau --> Neutrino rho pi Decay Mode

The PLUTO collaboration Alexander, G. ; Criegee, L. ; Dehne, H.C. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 73 (1978) 99-104, 1978.
Inspire Record 122092 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.27462

Annihilation of e + e − into final states with a single electron has been studied with the PLUTO detector at the DORIS storage ring at CMS energies from 3.6 to 5 GeV. In the sample of 4-prong events without any detected photon we observe 21 events which we assign to the reaction e + e − → τ + τ − → νν e + νϱ 0 π . We obtain a branching ratio for τ + → νϱ 0 π + of 0.050 ± 0.015 with an overall systematic uncertainty of 30%. The data are consistent with the ϱπ coming from an A 1 meson.
