Abstract

The recent experimental results on τ and charm decays obtained by the ARGUS collaboration are presented in this talk. The results include new measurements of many exclusive decay modes of the τ lepton and of the inclusive three prong decay mode. They confirm the current world averages and stress the τ decay problem. A study of the hadronic τ decays into ππ0ντ and πππ+ντ performed. We searched in 29 different channels for neutrinoless τ d ecays. No evidence was found for these decays. The decay D+K∗+K*0, which is observed for the first time, is shown together with th e decay of the Ds+ meson into the same final state. These decays represent one of the few known decays of D mesons into two vector mesons. Furthermore a measurement of the semileptonic Λc+ decay is shown.
