Evidence for the decay τ-→π-ηντ
Description
This paper discusses the High Resolution Spectrometer collaboration that has searched for undetected decay channels of the τ-lepton. In particular, as the classification of one-prong decays indicates a higher rate than expected for the one-charged plus multiple-neutral channel, the author has searched for η-meson production in one-prong τ-decays. The analysis that gave evidence for the decay τ- → π-ηντ is outlined. The author discusses the checks that have been done, including the background from hadronic- and two-photon events, and the probability of missing photons
