A model-dependent analysis of the hadronic substructure in tau- -> pi- pi- pi+ neutrino decay is reported. The decay is dominated by the process tau- -> a1(1260)- + neutrino, in which a1(1260)- -> rho0 pi- in an S-wave decay. Amplitudes…

Heavy flavour decay to light hadrons is the key to understanding many aspects of the SM from CP violation to strong dynamics. It is often presumed in line with the simple quark spectator model of D decay to Kpipi that the Kpi system has…
