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.
We report the first measurement of the $tau$ lepton polarization in the decay ${bar B} rightarrow D^* tau^- {bar u_{tau}}$ as well as a new measurement of the ratio of the branching fractions $R(D^{*}) = mathcal{B}({bar B} rightarrow D^* tau^- {bar u_{tau}}) / mathcal{B}({bar B} rightarrow D^* ell^- {bar u_{ell}})$, where $ell^-$ denotes an electron or a muon, with the decays $tau^- rightarrow pi^- u_{tau}$ and $tau^- rightarrow rho^- u_{tau}$. We use the full data sample of $772 times 10^6$ $B{bar B}$ pairs accumulated with the Belle detector at the KEKB electron-positron collider. Our preliminary results, $R(D^*) = 0.276 pm 0.034{rm (stat.)} ^{+0.029} _{-0.026}{rm (syst.)}$ and $P_{tau} = -0.44 pm 0.47 {rm (stat.)} ^{+0.20} _{-0.17} {rm (syst.)}$, are consistent with the theoretical predictions of the Standard Model within $0.6$ standard deviation.
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 report a measurement of ratio ${cal R}(D^*) = {cal B}(bar{B}^0 rightarrow D^{*+} tau^- bar{ u}_{tau})/{cal B}(bar{B}^0 rightarrow D^{*+} ell^- bar{ u}_{ell})$, where $ell$ denotes an electron or a muon. The results are based on a data sample containing $772times10^6$ $Bbar{B}$ pairs recorded at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+ e^-$ collider. We select a sample of $B^0 bar{B}^0$ pairs by reconstructing both $B$ mesons in semileptonic decays to $D^{*mp} ell^{pm}$. We measure ${cal R}(D^*)= 0.302 pm 0.030({rm stat)} pm 0.011({rm syst)}$, which is within $1.6 sigma$ of the Standard Model theoretical expectation, where $sigma$ is the standard deviation including systematic uncertainties.

We use this measurement to constrain several scenarios of new physics in a model-independent approach.
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.
