Abstract

We have studied the leptonic decay of the γ (1S) resonance into tau pairs using the CLEO II detector. A clean sample of tau pair events is identified via events containing two charged particles where exactly one of the particles is an identified electron. We find B(γ(1S) → τ⁺τ^-) = (2.61±0.12_-0.13 ^+0.09)%. The result is consistent with expectations from lepton universality.
