Using a sample of tagged D_s decays collected near the D^*_s D_s peak production energy in e+e- collisions with the CLEO-c detector, we study the leptonic decay D^+_s to tau^+ nu_tau via the decay channel tau^+ to e^+ nu_e bar{nu}_tau. We measure B(D^+_s to tau^+ nu_tau) = (6.17 +- 0.71 +- 0.34) %, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. Combining this result with our measurements of D^+_s to mu^+ nu_mu and D^+_s to tau^+ nu_tau (via tau^+ to pi^+ bar{nu}_tau), we determine f_{D_s} = (274 +- 10 +- 5) MeV.

Using a data set of 6.32 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+ e^-$ annihilation data collected with the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4178 and 4226 MeV, we have measured the absolute branching fraction of the leptonic decay $D_s^+ to tau^+ u_{tau}$ via $tau^+ to e^+ u_e bar{ u}_{tau}$ to be $mathcal{B}_{D_s^+ to tau^+ u_{tau}}=(5.27pm0.10pm0.12)times10^{-2}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. Combining with $f_{D_s^+}$ from Lattice quantum chromodynamics calculations or the $|V_{cs}|$ from the CKMfitter group, we extract $|V_{cs}|=0.978pm0.009pm0.012$ and $f_{D_s^+}= (251.1pm2.4pm3.0)$ MeV, respectively. These results are the most precise to date. Combining our result with the world averages of $mathcal{B}_{D_s^+ to tau^+ u_{tau}}$ and $mathcal{B}_{D_s^+ to mu^+ u_{mu}}$, we obtain the ratio of the branching fractions $mathcal{B}_{D_s^+ to tau^+ u_{tau}} / mathcal{B}_{D_s^+ to mu^+ u_{mu}} = 9.72pm0.37$, which is consistent with the standard model prediction of lepton flavor universality.
We measure the inclusive semielectronic decay branching fraction of the $D_s^+$ meson. A double-tag technique is applied to $e^+e^-$ annihilation data collected by the BESIII experiment at the BEPCII collider, operating in the center-of-mass energy range $4.178 - 4.230$ GeV. We select positrons from $D_s^+rightarrow Xe^{+} u_e$ with momenta greater than 200 MeV/$c$, and determine the laboratory momentum spectrum, accounting for the effects of detector efficiency and resolution. The total positron yield and semielectronic branching fraction are determined by extrapolating this spectrum below the momentum cutoff. We measure the $D_s^+$ semielectronic branching fraction to be $mathcal{B}left(D_s^+rightarrow Xe^{+} u_eright)=left(6.30pm0.13;(text{stat.})pm 0.10;(text{syst.})right)%$, showing no evidence for unobserved exclusive semielectronic modes. We combine this result with external data taken from literature to determine the ratio of the $D_s^+$ and $D^0$ semielectronic widths, $frac{Gamma(D_{s}^{+}rightarrow Xe^+ u_e)}{Gamma(D^0rightarrow Xe^+ u_e)}=0.790pm 0.016;(text{stat.})pm0.020;(text{syst.})$. Our results are consistent with and more precise than previous measurements.
By analyzing $6.32~mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data collected at the center-of-mass energies between 4.178 and 4.226,GeV with the BESIII detector, we determine the branching fraction of the leptonic decay $D_s^+totau^+ u_tau$ with $tau^+topi^+pi^0bar u_tau$, to be $mathcal{B}_{D_s^+totau^+ u_tau}=(5.29pm0.25_{rm stat}pm0.20_{rm syst})%$. We estimate the product of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{cs}|$ and the $D_s^+$ decay constant $f_{D^+_s}$ to be $f_{D_s^+}|V_{cs}|=(244.8pm5.8_{rm stat}pm4.8_{rm syst})~mathrm{MeV}$ using the known values of the $tau^+$ and $D_s^+$ masses as well as the $D_s^+$ lifetime, together with our branching fraction measurement. Combining with the value of $|V_{cs}|$ obtained from a global fit in the standard model and $f_{D_s^+}$ from lattice quantum chromodynamics, we obtain $f_{D_s^+}=(251.6pm5.9_{rm stat}pm4.9_{rm syst})$,MeV and $|V_{cs}| = 0.980pm0.023_{rm stat}pm0.019_{rm syst}$.
We report a measurement of the branching fraction of B^+ -> tau^+ nu_tau decays using a data sample of 772 x 10^6 BBbar pairs, collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider. We reconstruct the accompanying B meson in a semileptonic decay and detect the recoiling B candidate in the decay channel B^+ -> tau^+ nu_tau. We obtain a branching fraction of BR(B^+ -> tau^+ nu_tau) = [1.25 +- 0.28 (stat.) +- 0.27 (syst.)] x 10^-4. This result is in good agreement with previous measurements and the expectation from the calculation based on the Standard Model.
Using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 567 pb$^{-1}$ collected at a center-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s}=4.6$ GeV with the BESIII detector, we measure the absolute branching fraction of the inclusive semileptonic $Lambda_c^+$ decay with a double-tag method. We obtain $mathcal{B}(Lambda_c^+ rightarrow X e^+ u_e) = (3.95pm0.34pm0.09)%$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. Using the known $Lambda_c^+$ lifetime and the charge-averaged semileptonic decay width of nonstrange charmed measons ($D^0$ and $D^+$), we obtain the ratio of the inclusive semileptonic decay widths $Gamma(Lambda_c^+ rightarrow X e^+ u_e)/bar{Gamma}(Drightarrow X e^+ u_e)= 1.26pm0.12$.
