Rivet analyses

Electron and muon spectrum in leptonic tau decays

Experiment: ARGUS (DORIS)

Inspire ID: 374784

Status: VALIDATED NOHEPDATA

Authors: - Peter Richardson

References: - Phys.Lett.B 341 (1995) 441-447

Beams: e+ e-

Beam energies: (5.0, 5.0)GeV

Run details: - e+e- -> tau+tau-, needed due pseudo-rest frame definition

Measurement of the electron and muon spectrum in leptonic tau decays in the pseudo-rest frame of the tau lepton. Correccted data read from figures 3 and 4 in the paper.
