A total of 10 τ mass measurements are averaged. The fit has χ2/d.o.f. = 8.2/9, corresponding to a confidence level CL = 51%. We include recent measurements by Belle II [6] and KEDR [7], which were not included in the 2022 edition and 2023 update of the Review of Particle Physics [8]. Table 1 and Figure 1 report the experimental inputs and the calculated average, which are also available at [9].
