Erratum to Measurement of $\sigma (p \bar p \to Z) \cdot Br(Z \to \tau\tau)$ at $\bm{\sqrt{s}=}$1.96 TeV, published in Phys. Rev. D {71}, 072004 (2005)

TL;DR

This paper corrects the previously published measurement of the Z boson production cross section times branching ratio to tau pairs at 1.96 TeV, updating the value due to revised luminosity estimates.

Contribution

It provides a corrected measurement of the Z to tau tau cross section, accounting for updated integrated luminosity, enhancing the accuracy of previous results.

Findings

Corrected cross section value: 209 ± 13 (stat) ± 16 (syst) ± 13 (lum) pb.

Updated integrated luminosity from 226 pb$^{-1}$ to 257 pb$^{-1}$.

Improved precision in Z boson decay measurements.

Abstract

A change in estimated integrated luminosity (from 226 pb$^{-1} to 257 pb$^{-1}$ leads to a corrected value for ${\sigma (p \bar p \to Z) \cdot}$Br${(Z \to \tau \tau)}$ of $209\pm13(stat.)\pm16(syst.)\pm13(lum) pb.
