摘要：

The lifetime of the tau lepton has been measured by two independent methods using a silicon microvertex detector installed in the DELPHI detector. The signed impact parameter distribution of the one prong decays yielded a lifetime of tau-tau = 321 +/- 36 (stat.) +/- 16 (syst.) fs, while the decay length distribution of three prong decays gave the result tau-tau = 310 +/- 31 (stat. ) +/- 9 (syst.) fs. The final value of the combined result was tau-tau = 314 +/- 25 fs. The ratio of the Fermi coupling constant from tau decay relative to that from muon decay was found to be 0.95 +/- 0.04, compatible with the hypothesis of lepton universality.
