A new set of hadronic form factors, which has been implemented in TAUOLA, is described.
In this paper we study two kinds of tau decays: (a) tau- --> (rho pi-,omega pi-, phi pi-, K*0 K-) nu(tau), which belong to Delta S=0 processes and (b) Delta S = 1 processes, like tau- --> (rho K-, omega K-, phi K-, \bar{K*0} pi-) nu(tau),…
Recent experimental results on hadronic tau decays into strange particles by the OPAL collaboration are employed to determine V_us and m_s from moments of the invariant mass distribution. Our results are V_us = 0.2208+-0.0034 and m_s(2 GeV)…

We perform an analysis of the three-pion system with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ produced in the weak decay of $\tau$ leptons. The interaction is known to be dominated by the axial meson $a_1(1260)$. We build a model based on…
We describe the $\pi\pi$ $S$-wave in $D^+ \to\pi^+ \pi^- \pi^+$ decays using a unitary model for the $\pi\pi$ Final State Interactions (FSI). The three body decay is treated as a quasi two-body process where, at the weak vertex, the D meson…
An intrinsic parity violating hadronic tau lepton decay is investigated. $\tau \to \pi \pi \eta \nu$ is the process in which the dominant contribution to the amplitude is due to the intrinsic parity violation. To predict the hadronic…
We explore the decay of a vector meson to two pseudoscalar mesons on the lattice with $N_f=2$ flavours of sea quark. Although we are working with quark masses that do not allow a physical decay, we show how the transition rate can be…

The pion beta decay pi^+ -> pi^0 e^+ nu proceeds through pure weak vector hadronic currents and, therefore, the theoretical prediction for it is more reliable than for the processes with axial-vector current contribution. For example,…
