Description
The decay of the heavy leptons tau into πγ has been established using the magnetic detector PLUTO. The branching ratio is determined to be BR(tau → πγ) = (9.0 +- 2.9)% with an additional systematic uncertainty of 2.5%. This value is in good agreement with the theoretical prediction. (Auth.)
