Abstract
The branching ratios of the tau(-) --> h(-)h(+)h(-)nu(tau) and tau(-) --> h(-)h(+)h(-) greater than or equal to 1 pi(o) nu(tau) decays, wher e h is either a charged pi or K meson, are measured using a data sampl e of 87861 tau(+)tau(-) pairs collected with the OPAL detector at LEP. The two branching ratios are extracted simultaneously from a sample o f three charged particle decays and found to be: B(tau(-) --> h(-)h(+) h(-)nu tau) = (9.87 +/- 0.10 +/- 0.24)% B(tau(-) --> h(-)h(+)h(-) grea ter than or equal to 1 pi(o) nu(tau)) = (5.09 +/- 0.10 +/- 0.23)%where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. The branchi ng ratio of the tau lepton into three charged particles is measured to be: B(tau(-) --> 3-prong) = (14.96 +/- 0.09 +/- 0.22)%
