TAUOLA - A LIBRARY OF MONTE-CARLO PROGRAMS TO SIMULATE DECAYS OF POLARIZED TAU-LEPTONS

A library of Monte Carlo programs for leptonic and semileptonic decays of the tau-lepton is presented. It provides final state with full topology including neutrinos, resonant distributions for intermediate particles and complete spin structure throughout the decay. The program is constructed in such a way that it can be easily attached to any Monte Carlo program simulating the production of tau's. It contains subprograms simulating the following decay channels: tau +/- --> nu-nu-e +/-, nuBAR-nu-mu +/-, nu-pi +/-, nu-rho +/-, nu-a1 +/-, nu-K +/-, nu-K* +/-, nu-n-pi +/- .O, n > 3. The decay products are coded in the Lund format.
