Originally thought as clean processes to study the hadronization of the weak currents, semileptonic tau lepton decays can be useful to set constraints on non-standard (NS) weak interactions. We study the effects of new interactions in \tau^- \to (\pi^-\eta,\pi^-\pi^0)\nu_{\tau}τ−→(π−η,π−π0)ντ decays and find that they are sensitive probes of these New Physics effects in the form of scalar and tensor interactions, respectively. Further improved measurements at Belle II will set limits on these scalar interactions that are similar to other low and high energy processes.

Abstract Recently, several observed anomalies in semileptonic B meson decays have implied hints of lepton flavor universal violation. Motivated by these inspiring results, we study the baryon decays $$\Xi _{b}\rightarrow \Lambda (\Xi _{c})\tau ^{-}\bar{\nu }_{\tau }$$Ξb→Λ(Ξc)τ-ν¯τ which are mediated by $$b\rightarrow u(c)\tau ^{-}\bar{\nu }_{\tau }$$b→u(c)τ-ν¯τ transitions at quark level in the Standard Model and different New Physics scenarios. In the framework of the extended Standard Model on assuming a general effective theory, we constrain the Wilson coefficients of the NP operators using the experimental measurement results for the $$Br(B_{c}^+\rightarrow \tau ^+ \nu _{\tau })$$Br(Bc+→τ+ντ), $$R^{l}_{\pi }$$Rπl, $$R_{D^{(*)}}$$RD(∗), $$R_{J/\psi }$$RJ/ψ and $$F_{L}^{D^{*}}$$FLD∗ anomalies and investigate their New Physics effects on several observables relative to the $$\Xi _{b}\rightarrow \Lambda (\Xi _{c})\tau ^{-}\bar{\nu }_{\tau }$$Ξb→Λ(Ξc)τ-ν¯τ decays. We mention the differential branching fraction $${\text {d}}Br/{\text {d}}q^2$$dBr/dq2, the ratio of branching fractions $$R(q^2)$$R(q2), the lepton-side forward–backward asymmetry $$A_{FB}(q^2)$$AFB(q2), the longitudinal polarization $$P_{L}^{\Lambda (\Xi _{c})}(q^2)$$PLΛ(Ξc)(q2) of the daughter baryons $$\Lambda (\Xi _{c})$$Λ(Ξc) and $$P_{L}^{\tau }(q^2)$$PLτ(q2) of the $$\tau $$τ lepton, and the convexity parameter $$C_{F}(q^2)$$CF(q2).

Abstract We study the Standard Model effective field theory ($$\nu $$νSMEFT) extended with operators involving right-handed neutrinos, focussing on the regime where the right-handed neutrinos decay promptly on collider scales to a photon and a Standard Model neutrino. This scenario arises naturally for right-handed neutrinos with masses of the order $$m_N \sim 0.1 \dots 10\, \,\text {GeV}$$mN∼0.1⋯10GeV. We limit the relevant dimension-six operator coefficients using LEP and LHC searches with photons and missing energy in the final state as well as pion and tau decays. While bounds on new physics contributions are generally in the TeV scale for order one operator coefficients, some coefficients, however, remain very poorly constrained or even entirely evade bounds from current data. Consequently, we identify such weakly constrained scenarios and propose new searches for rare top and tau decays involving photons to probe potential new physics in the $$\nu $$νSMEFT parameter space. Our analysis highlights the importance of performing dedicated searches for new rare tau and top decays.

We report mainly on a search for lepton-flavor-violating τ decays involving π0/η/η′ final states using a sample of 153.8 fb-1, which was recorded with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- asymmetric-energy collider. We also present searches for other possible LFV tau decays, and discuss the relationship of our results to SUSY parameters.

This article summarizes recent developments in B\to D^{(\ast)}\tau\nuB→D(*)τν decays. We explain how to extract the tau lepton’s production properties from the kinematics of its decay products. The focus is on hadronic tau decays, which are most sensitive to the tau polarizations. We present new results for effects of new physics in tau polarization observables and quantify the observation prospects at BELLE II.
