Abstract

We have searched for decays of the tau lepton into seven or more charged particles, using data collected with the OPAL detector from 1990 to 1995 in e+e- collisions at sqrt(s) ~ MZ. No candidate events were found and an upper limit on the branching ratio for tau decays into seven charged particles of 1.8 x 10-5 at the 95% confidence level was determined.
