Abstract: | The behaviour of the different decay modes of the charged heavy lepton τ versus the neutrino ντ-mass is analyzed in detail. The τ→ντ A 1 and τ→ντ K * decay rates have been evaluated using finite energy sum rules. The τ→ντ+ “Hadron Continuum” decay rate has been estimated within the framework of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). We find that the branching ratios of the semi-leptonic processes: τ→ντρ, τ→ντπ and τ→ντ+ “Hadron Continuum” are very sensitive to the value of the ντ-mass. Thus a more precise measurement of these branching ratios could provide an improved upper bound for the neutrino ντ-mass. |
