Abstract

The inclusive production of KSO mesons τ lepton decay has been studied using the high resolution spectrometer at the PEP e+e- storage ring operated at √s=29 GeV. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 300pb-1. The measured branching fraction is B(τ-→KSOX-ντ) = (0.64±0.15)%. The measurement is consistent with all KSO coming from the Cabibbo-suppressed decay τ-→K*-(890)ντ with a branching ratio of (1.9±0.3±0.4)%.
