The study of processes containing tau leptons in the final state
will play an important role at Tevatron Run II. Such final states will be
relevant both for electroweak studies and measurements as well as in
searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. The present paper discuss
the physics opportunities and challenges related to the implementation of
new set of triggers able to select events containing tau candidates in the
final state. We illustrate, in particular, the physics capabilities for a
variety of new physics scenarios such as supersymmetry (SUSY), SUSY with
Rp-parity violation, with Bilinear parity violation or models with the
violation of lepton flavor. Finally, we present the first Run II results
obtained using some of the described tau triggers.
