Small-Size Instanton Corrections to the $\tau$ Hadronic Width

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

We compute the effect of small-size instanton corrections to current-current correlators, for all combinations of axial, vector, and possibly flavour non-diagonal currents. We apply our result to the hadronic decays of the τ\tau lepton, in order to assess the reliability of the determination of \as\as from the τ\tau hadronic width.
