A measurement of the τ−→K−π0ντ branching fraction has been made using 230.2 fb−1 of data recorded by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e− collider, located at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), at a center-of-mass energy √s close to 10.58 GeV. We measure B(τ−→K−π0ντ)=(0.416±0.003(stat)±0.018(syst))%.Received 18 July 2007DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.76.051104©2007 American Physical …
