On the spin and parity of the τ-meson

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

The angular distributions of the secondaries of the τ-meson have been calculated for eight combinations of spin and parity, using the hypothesis accepted untill now about the type of interaction. Comparing these distributions with the experimental data, one finds a satisfactory agreement for the cases of even spin and odd parity, especially for the [0,-] case.

Riassunto

Sono state calcolate, sulla base delle ipotesi finora accettate sul tipo di interazione, le distribuzioni angolari dei secondari del mesone τ, per otto combinazioni dello spin e della parità. Un confronto di queste distribuzioni con i dati sperimentali mostra un accordo soddisfacente per i casi di spin pari e di parità negativa, soprattutto per il caso [0,-].
