Resonance structure of tau->Kpipi decays
D. A. Asner
Abstract
Using a sample of 4.7/fb integrated luminosity accumulated with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR), we investigate the mass spectrum and resonant structure in tau->Kpipi decays. We measure the relative fractions of K1(1270) and K1(1400) resonances in these decays, as well as the K1 masses and widths. Our fitted K1 resonances are somewhat broader than previous hadroproduction measurements, and in agreement with recent LEP results from tau decay. The larger central value of our measured width supports models which attribute the small tau->Kpipi branching fraction to larger K1 widths than are presently tabulated. We also determine the Ka-Kb mixing angle thetaK.
