A Limit on the Mass of the ντ
R. Ammar, CLEO Collaboration et al
Abstract
A limit on the mass of the tau neutrino is derived from 4.5 million tau pairs produced in an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb-1 of electron-positron annihilation to tau pairs at center of mass energies near 10.6 GeV. The measurement technique involves a two-dimensional extended likelihood analysis, including the dependence of the end-point population on the neutrino mass, and allows for the first time an explicit background contribution. We use the decays of the tau to five charged pions and a neutrino as well as the decay to three charged pions, two neutral pions and a neutrino to obtain an upper limit of 30 MeV/c2 at 95% C.L.
