AbstractAbstract
[en] This work presents simultaneous branching fraction measurements of the decay modes τ-→K-nπ0ντ with n=0,1,2,3 and τ-→π-nπ0ντ with n=3,4. The analysis is based on a data sample of 427 x 106τ+τ- pairs recorded with the BABAR detector, which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 464.4 fb-1. The measured values are B(τ-→K-ντ)=(6.57±0.03±0.11) x 10-3, B(τ-→K-π0ντ)=(4.61±0.03±0.11) x 10-3, B(τ-→K-π0π0ντ)=(5.05±0.17±0.44) x 10-4, B(τ-→K-π0π0π0ντ)=(1.31±0.43±0.40) x 10-4, B(τ-→π-π0π0π0ντ)=(1.263±0.008±0.078) x 10-2 and B(τ-→π-π0π0π0π0ντ)=(9.6±0.5±1.2) x 10-4, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. All measurements are compatible with the current world averages whereas the uncertainties are significantly smaller by a factor of up to five. The determination of B(τ-→π-π0π0π0π0ντ) is the first measurement of this branching fraction. The measured branching fractions are combined with the current world averages. Using the new averages, an updated determination of vertical stroke Vus vertical stroke from hadronic τ decays yields vertical stroke Vus vertical stroke =0.2146±0.0025, which improves previous measurements by 19%. Its uncertainty is comparable to the one of the current world average from semileptonic kaon decays. (orig.)
