We present the first measurement of the Michel parameters $bar{eta}$ and $xikappa$ in the radiative leptonic decay of the $tau$ lepton using 703 f$mathrm{b}^{-1}$ of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider. The Michel parameters are measured by an unbinned maximum likelihood fit to the kinematic information of $e^+e^-rightarrowtau^+tau^-rightarrow (pi^+pi^0 bar{ u})(l^- ubar{ u}gamma)$ $(l=e$ or $mu)$. The preliminary values of the measured Michel parameters are $bar{eta} = -2.0 pm 1.5 pm 0.8$ and $xikappa = 0.6 pm 0.4 pm 0.2$, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic.
We present a measurement of the Michel parameters of the $tau$ lepton, $bar{eta}$ and $xikappa$, in the radiative leptonic decay $tau^- rightarrow ell^- u_{tau} bar{ u}_{ell} gamma$ using 711~f$mathrm{b}^{-1}$ of collision data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider. The Michel parameters are measured in an unbinned maximum likelihood fit to the kinematic distribution of $e^+e^-rightarrowtau^+tau^-rightarrow (pi^+pi^0 bar{ u}_tau)(ell^- u_{tau}bar{ u}_{ell}gamma)$ $(ell=e$ or $mu)$. The measured values of the Michel parameters are $bar{eta} = -1.3 pm 1.5 pm 0.8$ and $xikappa = 0.5 pm 0.4 pm 0.2$, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. This is the first measurement of these parameters. These results are consistent with the Standard Model predictions within their uncertainties and constrain the coupling constants of the generalized weak interaction.
The lifetime of the $tau$-lepton is measured using the process $e^+e^-rightarrowtau^+tau^-$, where both $tau$-leptons decay to $3pi u_tau$. The result for the mean lifetime, based on $711,mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of data collected with the Belle detector at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance and $60,mathrm{MeV}$ below, is $tau = (290.17 pm 0.53(mathrm{stat.}) pm 0.33(mathrm{syst.}))cdot10^{-15},mathrm{s}$. The first measurement of the lifetime difference between $tau^+$ and $tau^-$ is performed. The upper limit on the relative lifetime difference between positive and negative $tau$-leptons is $|Deltatau| / tau < 7.0 times 10^{-3}$ at 90% CL.
The TWIST Collaboration has measured the Michel parameter $rho$ in normal muon decay, $mu^+ to e^+ u_e bar{ u}_{mu}$. In the Standard Model, $rho$ = 3/4. Deviations from this value require mixing of left- and right-handed muon and electron couplings in the muon-decay Lagrangian. We find $rho$ = 0.75080 $pm$ 0.00044(stat.) $pm$ 0.00093(syst.) $pm$ 0.00023, where the last uncertainty represents the dependence of $rho$ on the Michel parameter $eta$. This result sets new limits on the $W_L-W_R$ mixing angle in left-right symmetric models.
The reconstruction of tau-pair production, $e^{+}e^{-} to tau^{+}tau^{-}$, from the subsequent 3-prong ($tau^{+} rightarrow pi^{+} pi^{-} pi^{+} bar{ u}_{tau}$) and 1-prong ($tau^{-} to ell^{-} bar{ u}_{ell} u_{tau}$, $tau^{-} to h^{-} u_{tau}$ or $tau^{-} to pi^{-} pi^0 u_{tau}$) decays, is presented using 8.8 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^{+}e^{-}$ collision data of Belle II at the center-of-mass energy $sqrt{s} = m_{Upsilon(4S)}$. The pseudomass technique developed by the ARGUS experiment is used to measure the $tau$-lepton mass $m_{tau}$ in the 3-prong $tau^{+} to pi^{+} pi^{-} pi^{+} bar{ u}_{tau} $ decay, resulting in $m_{tau} = 1777.28 pm 0.75~{rm (stat.)} pm 0.33 ~{rm (sys.)}~{rm{MeV}/rm{c}^2}$.
The Michel parameter xi has been determined from a measurement of the longitudinal polarization of positrons emitted in the decay of polarized and depolarized muons. The result, xi = 0.981 +- 0.045stat +- 0.003syst, is consistent with the Standard Model prediction of unity, and provides an order of magnitude improvement in the relative precision of this parameter. This value sets new constraints on exotic couplings beyond the dominant V-A description of the leptonic weak interaction.
