Contribution

It provides an update on new hadronic currents in TAUOLA and discusses their validation against experimental data and phenomenological applications.

Findings

Comparison with BaBar and Belle data shows good agreement.

Use of TAUOLA in W decay studies at ATLAS is demonstrated.

Ongoing collaborations enhance tau decay modeling accuracy.

Abstract

Status of new hadronic currents for tau lepton decay Monte Carlo generator TAUOLA was revieved in other talks of the conference. Efforts on comparison with BaBar and Belle collaboration data were carefully discussed. Also use of the program in phenomenology of W decays measured by ATLAS collaboration was presented in these talks as well. That is why, in my talk, I will concentrate on other aspects of our work necessary for development of tau lepton Monte Carlo programs and their phenomenological use. Presented results illustrate the status of the projects performed in collaboration with Swagato Banerjee, Zofia Czyczula, Nadia Davidson, Jan Kalinowski, Wojciech Kotlarski Tomasz Przedzinski, Olga Shekhovtsova, Elzbieta Richter-Was, Pablo Roig, Jakub Zaremba, Qingjun Xu and others.
