Résumé
Using the ARGUS detector at the e+e- storage ring DORIS II, we have searched for the real and imaginary part of the electric dipole formfactor d(τ) of the τ lepton in the production of τ pairs at q2= 100GeV2. This is the first direct measurement of this CP violating formfactor. We applied the method of optimised observables which takes into account all available information on the observed τ decay products. No evidence for CP violation was found, and we derive the following results: Re(d(τ)) = (1.6 ± 1.9) · 10-16 e cm and Im(d(τ)) = (-0.2 ± 0.8) · 10-16 e cm, where statistical and systematic errors have been combined.
