We carry out the joint study of the semileptonic tau decays into the two-meson and axion-meson channels, viz. $\tau^-\to (P_1P_2)^-\nu_\tau$ and $\tau^-\to \pi^-(K^-) a\nu_\tau$ within the framework of resonance chiral theory by including…

The eta to 3 pion decays are a valuable source of information on low energy QCD. Yet they were not used for an extraction of the chiral symmetry breaking order parameters until now. We use a bayesian approach in the framework of resummed…
