Feasibility Study of D_s^+ to τ^+ ν_(τ) Decay and Test of Lepton Flavor Universality with Leptonic D_s^+ Decays at STCF

We report a sensitive study of $D_s^+ \to \tau^+ \nu_{\tau}$ decay via $\tau^+ \to e^+ \nu_e \bar{\nu}_{\tau}$ with an integrated luminosity of 1 ab$^{-1}$ at the center-of-mass energy of $4.009$ GeV at a future Super Tau Charm Facility (STCF). Under the help of the fast simulation software package, the statistical sensitivity for the absolute branching fraction of $D_s^+ \to \tau^+ \nu_{\tau}$ is determined to be $2\times10^{-4}$. Combining with our previous prospect of $D_s^+ \to \mu^+ \nu_{\mu}$, the ratio of the branching fractions for $D_s^+ \to \tau^+ \nu_{\tau}$ over $D_s^+ \to \mu^+ \nu_{\mu}$ can achieve a relative statistical precision of 0.5%, which will provide the most stringent test of the $\tau$-$\mu$ lepton flavor universality in heavy quark decays. Taking the decay constant $f_{D_s^+}$ from lattice QCD calculations or the CKM matrix element $|V_{cs}|$ from the CKMfitter group as an input, the relative statistical uncertainties for $|V_{cs}|$ and $f_{D_s^+}$ are estimated to be 0.3% and 0.2%, respectively.
