Abstract

We report a new and precise measurement of the lifetime of the lepton. The data were taken with the High Resolution Spectrometer at the SLAC e+e- colliding-beam facility PEP operating at 29 GeV center-of-mass energy. The flight distances of 1311 decays to three charged particles were measured with a four-layer tubular-cell vertex chamber in conjunction with the main drift chamber. The resulting lifetime of the lepton is =(2.990.150.10)×10-13 sec.
