Study of anomalous tau lepton decay using chiral Lagrangian with vector mesons

Abstract

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 invariant mass spectra and to compare them with experimental data, we extend the chiral Lagrangian with vector mesons so that it incorporates the intrinsic parity violating terms and $\phi$ and $\eta^\prime$ mesons. The coefficients of the intrinsic parity violating terms will be determined by fitting the branching fractions for $V^I \rightarrow P \gamma$, $V^I \rightarrow 3 P$ and $P \to V^I \gamma $ where $V^I$ denotes vector mesons $1^-$ and $P$ denotes pseudo-scalar mesons $0^-$.
