Abstract：
We point out that in e⁺+e^-→τ⁺+τ^- for spin 3/2 τ^±the different helicity statesof τ^{^±}will possess different weights.When the beam energy is much larger than themass of τ,we argue that,in some renormalizable models,τ may even have only ±1/2 helieity states.Therefore,the two body d cay energy spectra will show a significantdifference from that of τ with spin 1/2.This provides us with a very sensitivemethod to distinguish the spin of τ.
