Tau decays into kaons in DELPHI

Description

Exclusive and inclusive branching ratios of several τ decays with kaons in the final state have been measured using data collected with the DELPHI detector. Charged kaons are tagged over a large momentum range by the Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector, and the secondary vertices of Ks0 decays into charged pions are reconstructed. The result BR(τ→Kν)=(0.85±0.18)% is in agreement with the Standard Model prediction based on τ-μ-e universality. The branching ratio BR(τ→K'v)=(1.71±0.36)% is a combination of two independent measurements in the π±Ks0 and the K±π0 mode. Also inclusive branching ratio were measured: BR(τ→Kv≥0 neutrals)=(1.54±0.24)%, BR(τ→Kv≥1 neutrals)=(0.64±0.24)% and BR(τ→Ks0X±v)=(0.99±0.19)%. The uncertainties of all results are dominated by statistics. (orig.)
