In a small window of phase space, chiral perturbation theory can be used to make standard model predictions for tau decays into two and three pions. For $\tau \to 2\pi \nu_\tau$, we give the analytical result for the relevant form factor…
Interactions of $a_2, K^*_2, f_2$ and $f_2'$ tensor-mesons with low-energy $\pi, K, \eta, \eta'$ pseudo-scalar mesons are constrained by chiral symmetry. We derive a chiral Lagrangian of tensor mesons in which the tensor mesons are treated…
