Mass spectrum in hadronic τ decays

Experiment: CLEO (CESR)

Inspire ID: 396711

Status: VALIDATED NOHEPDATA

Authors: - Peter Richardson

References: - Phys.Lett.B 356 (1995) 580-588

Beams: * *

Beam energies: ANY

Run details: - Tau production, can be any process but original data was in e+e− at the Υ(4S) resonance

Measurement of the mass spectrum in hadronic τ decays. The decay were read from figure 1 in the paper which is fully corrected.
