Effects of order $$\alpha ^3$$ α 3 on the determination of the Pauli form factor $$F_2$$ F 2 of the $$\tau $$ τ -lepton

Abstract We introduce optimal observables to measure the Pauli form factor $$F_2$$ F 2 of the $$\tau $$ τ -lepton in the pair-production process $$\mathrm{e}^- \mathrm{e}^+ \rightarrow \tau ^-\tau ^+$$ e - e + → τ - τ + from the intensity distribution of the decay products. The spin-density matrix f...
