Abstract
We revisit the radiative corrections to the $\tau^-\to\pi^-\pi^0\nu_\tau(\gamma)$ decays using Resonance Chiral Theory for the structure-dependent part. This channel is the most important one to understand the hadronic vacuum polarization piece of the muon g-2, which dominates the uncertainty of its data-driven prediction in the Standard Model. Using our results, the discrepancy between theory and experiment for this observable is reduced to $\sim2.2\sigma$.

Report
Radiative corrections to the tau- -> pi- pi0 nu_tau (gamma) are revisited using Chiral Resonance theory. This channel gives complementary information on vacuum polarization in the measurement of (g-2)_mu using tau data.
