Energy and angular distributions of the tau decay products in the CERN-to-Gran Sasso $\nu_\tau$ appearance experiments are studied for the decay modes $\tau\to\pi\nu$ and $\tau\to l\bar\nu\nu$ (l=e or mu). We find that the decay particle…

The low-energy S-wave component of the decay $D^+ \to K^- \pi^+ \pi^+$ is studied by means of a chiral SU(3)XSU(3) effective theory. As far as the primary vertex is concerned, we allow for the possibility of either direct production of…
We study the decays of $\tau^- \to \nu_{\tau} P^-\gamma (P=\pi^-, K^-)$ in the light front quark model. We calculate the form factors and use them to evaluate the decay widths. We find that, in the standard model, the decay widths are…

In this work, we perform a detailed study of the $\tau^-\to\pi^-\pi^0\gamma\nu$ decay process within the resonance chiral theory. We pay special attention to the triple-product asymmetry in the $\tau^-\to\pi^-\pi^0\gamma\nu$ process. The…
Observation of $\tau^-\to\eta^{(\prime)}\pi^-\nu_\tau $ decays at Belle-II would indicate either a manifestation of isospin symmetry breaking or genuine second class currents (SCC) effects. The corresponding radiative…
We investigate the decay of $a^+_1(1260) \to \pi^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$ with the assumption that the $a_1(1260)$ is dynamically generated from the coupled channel $\rho \pi$ and $\bar{K}K^*$ interactions. In addition to the tree level diagrams that…
The leptonic decays of the tau lepton provide relevant tests on the structure of the weak currents and the universality of their couplings to the gauge bosons. The hadronic tau decay modes constitute an ideal tool for studying low--energy…
