Second-class weak currents can in the standard model be induced by chiral symmetry breaking. In the specific case of the decay tau-->omega pi nu_tau, dominated by the first-class vector current with the rho quantum numbers, such effects…

We calculate the leading isospin-violating and electromagnetic corrections for the decay tau -> pi^0 pi nu_tau at low energies. The corrections are small but relevant for the inclusion of tau decay data in the determination of hadronic…

The decay tau- -> 2pi- pi+ 3pi0 nu_tau has been studied with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR). The branching fraction is measured to be (2.85 +/- 0.56 +/- 0.51) x 10^(-4). The result is in good agreement with…

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…

Influence of the isospin-violating (\rho^0, \omega)-mixing is discussed for any pair of decays of \rho^0, \omega into the same final state. It is demonstrated, in analogy to the CP-violation in neutral kaon decays, that isospin violation…

We discuss the ways to find CP violation in the decay of $\tau^\pm\to \nu_\tau + 3\pi$ from unpolarized as well as polarized $\tau^\pm$.

We consider the impact of isospin violation on the analysis of K-> pi pi decays. We scrutinize, in particular, the phenomenological role played by the additional weak amplitude, of |Delta I|=5/2 in character, incurred by the presence of…

I discuss isospin breaking effects within the standard model. Chiral perturbation theory presents the appropriate theoretical framework for such an investigation in the low--energy range. Recent results on the electromagnetic contributions…

Motivated by recent estimates of the isospin-violating process tau \to eta pi nu_tau, mostly relying on the rho and a_0 dominance of the relevant form factors near threshold, we present an assessment for the branching ratio that accounts…

We consider CP violating effects in the decays $\tau\rightarrow (3\pi)\nu_\tau$ where both the ${\rm J}^{\rm P}=1^+$ resonance, $a_1$, and ${\rm J}^{\rm P}=0^-$ resonance, $\pi^\prime$, can contribute. The interference between the $a_1$ and…

An isospin analysis of $B\to\pi\pi$ decays yields $\sin 2\alpha$, where $\alpha$ is the usual CKM angle $\alpha\equiv arg [-V_{td}V_{tb}^\ast /(V_{ud}V_{ub}^\ast)]$, without hadronic uncertainty if isospin is a perfect symmetry. Isospin,…

The recent observation of B^0_d->\pi^0\pi^0 and \bar{B}^0_d->\pi^0\pi^0 decay modes allows us to make a fresh isospin analysis of B->\pi\pi transitions. We find that current experimental data can impose some model-independent constraints on…

We complete here our work on isospin violation in the $K\to3\pi$ system. We first calculate $K\to2\pi$ to the same order as we did $K\to3\pi$ in papers I and II of this series. This adds effects of order $G_{27} p^2 (m_u-m_d)$ and $G_{27}…

We analyze the hadronization structure of $\tau \to \eta \pi^- \pi^0 \nu_\tau$ decays. In the isospin limit only the vector current contributes to this process. We compute the relevant form factor within Resonance Chiral Theory, at leading…

We report a search for CP violation in the decay \tau- -> \pi - \K^0_S (>= 0 \pi 0) \nu_\tau\ using a dataset of 437 million \tau\ lepton pairs, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 476 fb^{-1}, collected with the BABAR detector at…

In this work, we study the isospin-violating decay of $\phi\to \omega\pi^0$ and quantify the electromagnetic (EM) transitions and intermediate meson exchanges as two major sources of the decay mechanisms. In the EM decays, the present datum…

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…
