The hadronic tau decay $\tau^- \to \nu_\tau \eta \pi^- \pi^0$ occurs through V-A weak current. In this decay mode, the vector current contribution is intrinsic parity violating and the axial current contribution is G parity violating. The…
We perform a calculation of the $\tau^- \to \nu_{\tau} M_1 M_2$, with $M_1, M_2$ either pseudoscalar or vector mesons using the basic weak interaction and angular momentum algebra to relate the different processes. The formalism also leads…
We analyse the decay $\tau\to\pi\pi\pi\nu$ based on the recently developed techniques to generate axial-vector resonances dynamically. Under the assumption that the a1 is a coupled-channel meson-molecule, the spectral function is described…
Axial-vector mesons $a_1(1260)$, $f_1(1285)$, $h_1(1170)$, $K_1(1270)$, and $K_1(1400)$ can be produced in semileptonic $\tau\to A P \nu_{\tau}$ decays, where $P$ stands for the pseudoscalar mesons $\pi$ or $K$. We calculate the branching…
We propose a phenomenological Lagrangian for the decay of the SU(3) nonets of the axial-vector mesons of $J^{PC}=1^{+-},1^{++}$ into a vector meson and a pseudoscalar constructed with tensor fields for the vector and axial-vector mesons.…
The \tau \to (a_1 h)^- \nu_{\tau} decays of the \tau-lepton are studied using the method of phenomenological chiral Lagrangians. The expression of weak hadronic currents between pseudoscalar and axial-vector meson states is obtained.…
We study the $\tau \to \nu_\tau A$ decay, with $A$ an axial-vector meson. We produce the $a_1(1260)$ and $b_1(1235)$ resonances in the Cabibbo favored mode and two $K_1(1270)$ states in the Cabibbo suppressed mode. We take advantage of…
Hadronic tau decays belong to the processes that show a resonance-like structure in the axial vector current in the $1-2$ GeV range. This structure, often denoted as the $a_1$ meson, seems to show different properties in different…
Within the resonance chiral theory, we have studied the process of a tau lepton decaying into a vector resonance plus a pseudo-Goldstone meson and a tau neutrino. Two kinds of processes are discussed: (a) tau- --> (rho pi-,omega pi-, phi…
Recent reports of the observation of the decay $\tau \rarrow \nu_{\tau} + K + \pi + \pi$ raise interesting questions. The $u-s$ quark mass difference can induce an effective second-class current in the strange sector and enhance decays to…
We analyse the hadronization structure of both vector and axial-vector currents leading to tau -> KKpi nu_tau decays. At leading order in the 1/Nc expansion, and considering only the contribution of the lightest resonances, we work out,…
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 tau -> pi pi pi nu_tau decay is driven by the hadronization of the axial-vector current. Within the resonance chiral theory, and considering the large-Nc expansion, this process has been studied in Ref.[1]. In the light of later…
Tau decays into hadrons foresee the study of the hadronization of vector and axial-vector QCD currents, yielding relevant information on the dynamics of the resonances entering into the processes. We analyse tau -> (3 pion) nu_tau decays…
Hadronization in tau -> K K pi nu_tau decays is driven by both vector and axial-vector currents that we study, guided by the following principles: The 1/N_C expansion -worked out at leading order, considering only the contribution of the…
We study the effects of non-vanishing pseudoscalar masses in $\tau$ decays into three mesons. The hadronic matrix elements are obtained by using the generalized structure of the chiral currents with nonvanishing pseudoscalar masses and…
In this note we present a new parametrization of the hadronic current for the decay $\tau \to \pi\pi\pi \nu_\tau$ derived from the chiral lagrangian with explicit inclusion of resonances. We have included both scalar, vector and…
We evaluate the radiative decay into a pseudoscalar meson and a photon of the whole set of the axial-vector mesons dynamically generated from the vector-pseudoscalar meson ($VP$) interaction. We take into account tree level and loop…
We study a renormalizable theory that includes a heavy weak-singlet vectorlike lepton, $\tau^\prime$, that decays into a pseudoscalar boson and a tau lepton. We show that this can be the dominant decay mode of $\tau^\prime$ provided the…
The decays of $\tau \to 3\pi \nu $ and $\tau \to \pi K^{*} \nu, K\rho \nu $ are calculated using the hard pion and kaon current algebra and assuming the Axial-Vector meson dominance of the hadronic axial currents. Using the experimental…
