43 4. Conclusion and Outlook

44 4.1 Conclusion Studying τ physics very interesting tests of the Standard Model e.g. Inclusive τ decays : = ± exp ± th Error dominated by experiment Potentially the more precise extraction of Antonelli, Cirigliano, Lusiani, E.P. 13 Simulated New flavour factory data from Belle data : Same central values but uncertainties rescaled assuming 40 ab -1 luminosity = ± exp ± th V = 0.11± ± us exp th Promising! Competitive with kaon physics! = 0.55 ± exp ± th 44

45 4. Outlook : Experimental challenges : strange τ Brs PDG 014: «Nineteen of the 0 B-factory branching fraction measurements are smaller than the non-b-factory values. The average normalized difference between the two sets of measurements is -1.08» (-1.41 for the 11 Belle measurements and for the 11 BaBar measurements) Supported by predictions from kaon X channel Measured modes by the B factories: Mode BaBar Belle Normalized Difference (#σ) π π + π ν τ (ex.

46 4. Outlook : Experimental challenges : strange τ Brs PDG 016: «We find that that BaBar and Belle tend to measure lower τ branching fractions and ratios than the other experiments. The average normalized difference between the two sets of measurements is -0.8σ (-0.8σ for the 16 Belle measurements and -0.9σ for the 11 BaBar measurements)» number of measurements number of measurements Emilie Passemar Belle standard deviations BaBar standard deviations Figure 3: Distribution of the normalized difference between the 7 B-factory measurements and non-b-factory measurements. The list includes 16 measurements of branching fractions and ratios published by the Belle collaboration and 11 by the BaBar collaboration that are used in the fit and for which non-b-factory measurements exist.

47 4. Outlook Experimental challenges : strange τ BRs: PDG 014: «Nineteen of the 0 B-factory branching fraction measurements are smaller than the non-b-factory values. The average normalized difference between the two sets of measurements is -1.08» Supported by predictions from kaon X channel measurements More precise measurements Theoretical challenges : Ø Having the hadronic uncertainties under control: OPE vs. Lattice QCD or ChPT Ø Isospin breaking Ø Electromagnetic corrections Emilie Passemar 47

48 Prospects : τ strange Brs Experimental measurements of the strange spectral functions not very precise New measurements are needed!
