The mass spectrum of the K⁻K_S system has been measured and the spectral function has been obtained. The measured branching fraction B(τ⁻ → K⁻K_Sν_τ)=(0.739±0.011(stat)±0.020(syst))×10⁻³ is found to be in agreement with earlier measurements.enCC BY 4.0 (Attribution)©2018 The Authorshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Branching fractions (Nuclear physics)Leptons (Nuclear physics)Electron-positron interactionsHadrons—DecayMeasurement of the Spectral Function for the τ- →k-ksντ DecayPhysical Review DarticleLees, J.
