Abstract

We present preliminary results of a partial-wave analysis of τ− → π− π+ π− ν τ using data from the Belle experiment at the KEKB e+ e− collider. We validate our model with a model-independent analysis. We see the a1 (1420) and a G-parity-violating 1− [ω(782) π]P wave in tauon decays. Our results will improve models used in simulation studies necessary for measuring the electric and magnetic dipole moments and Michel parameters of the τ.

Awaiting resubmission

Report

Preliminary results from a partial-wave analysis of τ → π π π ντ using data collected by the Belle experiment at the KEKB e+e- collider are presented.

The scientific quality of this contribution is very high.

Publication is recommended after minor corrections have been incorporated.
