Abstract

The polarization effects in the one-meson radiative decay of the polarized τ\tau lepton, τπγντ\tau^-\to\pi^-\gamma\nu_{\tau}, are investigated. The inner bremsstrahlung and structural amplitudes are taken into account. The asymmetry of the differential decay width caused by the τ\tau lepton polarization and the Stokes parameters of the emitted photon itself, are calculated depending on the polarization of the decaying τ\tau lepton. The numerical estimation of these physical quantities was done for arbitrary direction of the τ\tau lepton polarization 3-vector in the rest frame. The vector and axial-vector form factors describing the structure-dependent part of the decay amplitude are determined using the chiral effective theory with resonances (Rχ\chiT).
