Full angular spectrum analysis of tensor current contribution to Acp(τ → Ks π τ)
Abstract
Babar collaboration has reported an intriguing opposite sign in the integrated decay rate asymmetry Acp(τ → Ks π τ) than that of SM prediction from the known K0 - K0 mixing. Babar's result deviate from the SM prediction by about 2.7σ. If the result stands with higher precision in the future experiments, the observed sign anomaly in the Acp(τ → Ks π τ) can most likely come only from a NP. In this work we present a full angular spectrum analysis on the contribution to Acp(τ → Ks π τ) coming from the tensorial term. Assuming the real part of the NP tensorial coupling is negligible compare to its imaginary part and with Acp(τ → Ks π τ) and Br(τ → Ks π τ) as data points to fit the imaginary part of the NP coupling, we have been able to fit the result within 1σ of the experimental values.
