We present a measurement of the τ-lepton mass using a sample of about 175 million e+e− → τ+ τ− events collected with the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB e+ e− collider at a center-of-mass energy of 10.579 GeV. This sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 190 fb−1 . We use the kinematic edge of the τ pseudomass distribution in the decay τ− → π− π+ π− ντ and measure the τ mass to be 1777.09 ± 0.08 ± 0.11 MeV/c2 , where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This result is the most precise to date.

Abstract

We present a measurement of the τ-lepton mass using a sample of about 175 million e+e− → τ+ τ− events collected with the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB e+ e− collider at a center-of-mass energy of 10.579 GeV. This sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 190 fb−1 . We use the kinematic edge of the τ pseudomass distribution in the decay τ− → π− π+ π− ντ and measure the τ mass to be 1777.09 ± 0.08 ± 0.11 MeV/c2 , where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This result is the most precise to date.
