We present the first measurements of branching fractions of rare tau-lepton decays, $tau^- rightarrow pi^- u_{tau} ell^+ ell^-$ ($ell = e$ or $mu$), using a data sample corresponding to 562 fb$^{-1}$ collected at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider. The $tau^- rightarrow pi^- u_tau e^+ e^-$ decay is observed for the first time with 7.0$sigma$ significance. The partial branching fraction determined by the structure-dependent mechanisms mediated by either a vector or an axial-vector current for the mass region $M_{pi e e}>1.05$ GeV/$c^2$ is measured to be $mathcal{B}(tau^-rightarrow pi^- u_tau e^+ e^-)[M_{pi^- e^+ e^-}>1.05~{rm GeV}/c^2] = (5.90 pm 0.53 pm 0.85 pm 0.11) times 10^{-6}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is due to the model dependence. In the full phase space, due to the different detection efficiencies for the structure-dependent mechanisms mediated by axial-vector and vector currents, the branching fraction varies from $mathcal{B}_{A}(tau^-rightarrow pi^- u_tau e^+ e^-) = (1.46 pm 0.13 pm 0.21) times 10^{-5}$ to $mathcal{B}_{V}(tau^-rightarrow pi^- u_tau e^+ e^-) = (3.01 pm 0.27 pm 0.43) times 10^{-5}$, respectively. An upper limit is set on the branching fraction of the $tau^- rightarrow pi^- u_tau mu^+ mu^-$ decay, $mathcal{B}(tau^-rightarrow pi^- u_tau mu^+ mu^-) < 1.14 times 10^{-5}$, at the 90% confidence level.

The potential of performing a combined analysis of the strangeness-changing decays $tau^{-}to K_{S}pi^{-} u_{tau}$ and $tau^{-}to K^{-}eta u_{tau}$ for unveiling the $K^{*}(1410)$ resonance pole parameters is illustrated. Our study is carried out wit hin the framework of Chiral Perturbation Theory, including resonances as explicit degrees of freedom. Resummation of final state interactions are considered through a dispersive parameterization of the required form factors. A considerable improvement in the determination of the pole position with mass $M_{K^{*}(1410)}=1304pm17$ MeV and width $Gamma_{K^{*}(1410)}=171pm62$ MeV is obtained.

We report on a search for the lepton flavor violating tau- -> mu- gamma and tau- -> e- gamma decays based on 535/fb of data accumulated at the Belle experiment. No signal is found and we set 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching ratios B r(tau- -> mu- gamma) < 4.5x10^-8 and Br(tau- -> e- gamma) < 1.2x10^-7.
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.
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.
The ratio of branching fractions ${cal{R}}(D^{*-})equiv {cal{B}}(B^0 to D^{*-} tau^+ u_{tau})/{cal{B}}(B^0 to D^{*-} mu^+ u_{mu})$ is measured using a data sample of proton-proton collisions collected with the LHCb detector at center-of-mass energie s of 7 and 8 Tev, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3$~$fb$^{-1}$. For the first time ${cal{R}}(D^{*-})$ is determined using the $tau$ lepton decays with three charged pions in the final state. The $B^0 to D^{*-} tau^+ u_{tau}$ yield is normalized to that of the $B^0to D^{*-} pi^+pi^-pi^+$ mode, providing a measurement of ${cal{B}}(B^0to D^{*-}tau^+ u_{tau})/{cal{B}}(B^0to D^{*-}pi^+pi^-pi^+) = 1.97 pm 0.13 pm 0.18$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The value of ${cal{B}}(B^0 to D^{*-} tau^+ u_{tau}) = (1.42 pm 0.094 pm 0.129 pm 0.054)% $ is obtained, where the third uncertainty is due to the limited knowledge of the branching fraction of the normalization mode. Using the well-measured branching fraction of the $B^0 to D^{*-} mu^+ u_{mu}$ decay, a value of ${cal{R}}(D^{*-}) = 0.291 pm 0.019 pm 0.026 pm 0.013$ is established, where the third uncertainty is due to the limited knowledge of the branching fractions of the normalization and $B^0to D^{*-}mu^+ u_{mu}$ modes. This measurement is in agreement with the Standard Model prediction and with previous results.
