Study of τ − → ωπ − ν τ decay in resonance chiral theory with tensor sources by Feng-Zhi Chen, Xin-Qiang Li, Shi-Can Peng, Ya-Dong Yang, Yuan-He Zou

“…To discuss its effect, a reliable calculation of the ωπ tensor form factors is necessary. After constructing the Lagrangian of resonance chiral theory with external tensor sources, we calculate both the vector and tensor form factors with the relevant resonance couplings determined by combining the QCD short-distance constraints, the fit to the spectral function of τ − → ωπ − ν τ decay, as well as the matching between the O p 4 $$ \mathcal{O}\left({p}^4\right) $$ odd-intrinsic-parity operators after integrating out the vector resonances and the O p 6 $$ \mathcal{O}\left({p}^6\right) $$ operators of chiral perturbation theory. …”
