Recent tau physics at BaBar

Abstract

We report some new results on tau decays obtained by the BaBar collaboration using 468 inverse femtobarn of electron-positron collisions recorded at the PEP-II asymmetric collider at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. First We will show the results for the branching fractions for the decay of the tau to a charged hadron and two neutral kaons and the branching fractions for high-multiplicity decays with 3 or 5 charged particles in the final state, either pions or kaons. We will then show the results for the search of second class hadronic current decays involving eta-prime mesons and the invariant mass spectra for tau decays to three charged particles, either pions or kaons.
