We report a measurement of the electric dipole moment of the τ lepton (dτ) using an 833~fb−1 data sample collected near the Υ(4S) resonance, with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e− collider. Using an optimal observable method, we obtain the real and imaginary parts of dτ as Re(dτ)=(−0.62±0.63)×10^−17 ecm and Im(dτ)=(−0.40±0.32)×10^−17 ecm, respectively. These results are consistent with null electric dipole moment at the present level of experimental sensitivity and improve the sensitivity by about a factor of three.

Abstract

We report a measurement of the electric dipole moment of the τ lepton (dτ) using an 833~fb−1 data sample collected near the Υ(4S) resonance, with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e− collider. Using an optimal observable method, we obtain the real and imaginary parts of dτ as Re(dτ)=(−0.62±0.63)×10^−17 ecm and Im(dτ)=(−0.40±0.32)×10^−17 ecm, respectively. These results are consistent with null electric dipole moment at the present level of experimental sensitivity and improve the sensitivity by about a factor of three.
