Extracting m_s From Flavor Breaking in Hadronic Tau Decays

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

New finite energy sum rules (FESR's) for extracting m_s from hadronic tau decay data are constructed which (1) significantly reduce potential theoretical uncertainties present in existing sum rule analyses and (2) remove problems associated with both the poor convergence of the OPE representation of the longitudinal part of the usus vector and axial vector correlators and the large statistical errors in the usus spectral data above the K^* region.
