Description

We report measurements of branching fractions for several hadronic tau decays to final states including kaons, which can be used to determine the strange quark mass and the element |Vus| of the CKM quark mixing matrix. The results are collected with the Babar detector at PEP-II, the SLAC asymmetric-energy e+e- collider.
