Abstract: We perform a measurement of the τ → lγνν¯ (l = e, µ) branching fractions for a minimum photon energy of 10 MeV in the τ rest frame, using 431 fb−1 of e +e − collisions collected at the center-of-mass energy of the Υ (4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage rings. We find B(τ → µγνν¯) = (3.69±0.03±0.10)×10−3, and B(τ → eγνν¯) = (1.847±0.015±0.052)×10−2, where the first quoted error is statistical, and the second is systematic. These results are substantially more precise than previous measurements.
