Measurement of the Branching Fraction for τ-→5π±(π0)ντ and an Upper Limit on the ντ Mass
Abstract
The branching fraction for -5(0) is measured from data accumulated with the Mark II detector at PEP. Four events are observed with an estimated hadronic background of (0.03-0.02+0.04) events and a background from -30 of (0.05-0.04+0.07) events. This results in a measured branching fraction of (0.160.080.04)%. The candidate events are used to establish an upper limit of 125 MeV/c2 on the mass at the 95% confidence level. © 1985 The American Physical Society.
