Abstract
Using the ARGUS detector at the storage ring DORIS II we have measured tau decays into three charged mesons containing K mesons. Exploiting the good particle identification capabilities of the detector we have determined the following branching ratios: Br(tau(-) --> <(K(0))over bar>pi(-)nu(tau)) = (0.25 +/- 0.10 +/- 0.05) %, Br(tau(-) --> K(0)K( -)nu(tau)) = (0.20 +/- 0.05 +/- 0.04) %, and Br(tau(-) --> K(-)(X(0)) nu(tau)) = (1.19 +/- 0.15(-0.18)(+0.13)) %.
