Abstract: (Springer)

The leptonic branching ratios of the tau lepton have been determined from data collected by the OPAL detector in 1991 and 1992. From a sample of 27196 e+e−→τ+τ− candidates we find 7322

electron positron: colliding beams
colliding beams: electron positron
electron positron: annihilation
annihilation: electron positron
tau: pair production
pair production: tau
tau: leptonic decay
leptonic decay: tau
tau: branching ratio
charged current: coupling
