The use of the tau in new particle searches at DELPHI

Abstract

Several new particle searches have been performed in the DELPHI experiment involving tau leptons in the resulting final state. The topology and special characteristics of the tau leptons have been used to discriminate the signal from the Standard Model background. Limits on new particles have been set, playing an important role the channels with tau leptons.
