HFAG 2016 and PDG 2016 tau lepton averages and |Vus| determination from tau data

The HFAG-Tau sub-group has performed in 2016 two similar global fits on the tau lepton branching fractions measurements. One, unitarity constrained, has been published in the 2016 edition of the Review of Particle Physics [1] and a second one, without the unitarity constraint, is currently preliminary and is expected to be published soon on the HFAG 2016 report [2]. The resulting r branching fractions are used to test the Standard Model lepton universality predictions and to measure the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element vertical bar V-us vertical bar.
