Abstract

A study of radiative τ pair production, e⁺e^-→τ⁺τ^-γ and e⁺e^-→τ⁺τ^-γγ, is presented. The observed events agree with QED predictions of order α³ and α⁴. Excited τ′s have been searched for and lower limits on single and pair production are obtained. For QED-like coupling the τ^* mass is limited to values greater than 40 GeV (95% CL). A search for unstable charged scalars (S^±) decaying into τ, e.g. charged Higgs, technipions or the supersymmetric partners of τ′s, yields no evidence for such particles. Assuming a branching fraction of B(S→τν)=1, S masses up to 18.7 GeV are excluded with 95% CL.
