Rare tau Decays in R-parity Violating Supersymmetry

Abstract

We constrain, from rare tau decays, several combinations of $\lambda$ and ${\lambda }^{\prime }$ type couplings coming from Supersymmetry without R-parity. The processes that we consider are tau --> l M, tau --> l_i l_j l_k, and tau --> l gamma, where l stands for either e or mu, and M is the generic symbol for a meson. We update several existing bounds, and provide a few new ones too.
