Abstract

In order to obtain the mass of \boldsymbol{\tau}𝛕 lepton at BESIII precisely, a beam energy measurement system was built at BEPCII. A scenario for high precision \boldsymbol{\tau}𝛕 mass measurement was put forth before data taken. More than 130 \boldsymbol{pb^{-1}}𝐩𝐛−1\boldsymbol{\tau}𝛕 mass scan data were collected in April 2018, and the uncertainty of \boldsymbol{m_{\tau}}𝐦𝛕 is expected to be less than 100 keV.

Highlights

  • The τ lepton is a fundamental particle in the standard model, and its mass is a fundamental parameter and should be given by experiment accurately

  • In order to decrease the systematical uncertainty related on the energy scale, beam energy measurement system was built at BEPCII

  • The beam energy measurement system (BEMS) at BEPCII is based on the Compton backscattering (CBS) principle

Summary

Introduction

The τ lepton is a fundamental particle in the standard model, and its mass is a fundamental parameter and should be given by experiment accurately. According to PDG [1], the current world average value of the τ lepton mass is mτPDG = 1776.86 ± 0.12 MeV It is based mostly on BESIII [2], KEDR [3], BES [4], BABAR [5] and BELL [6]. The latter two experiments are performed at B factory using the pseudomass method, analysing the huge amount of data, they obtained good statistical accuracy, the systematic uncertainty is large for the absolute calibration of particle momentum measurements. In the spring of 2018, we took scan data near τ threshold, some analysis work and statistic uncertainty estimation are introduced in section 4, we give a short summary
