Question:

The reaction e+e → τ+τ is studied using a collider with equal beam energies of 5 GeV and with the collision point at the centre of the detector. The latter is of cylindrical construction and at increasing radii from the beam line there is a drift chamber, an electromagnetic calorimeter, a hadronic calorimeter and finally muon chambers. If in a particular event the tau decays are

τ → μ + ν̅μ + ντ and τ+ → e+ + ν̅τ + νe,

What signals would be observed in the various parts of the detector?
