The decay τ→3πντ and characteristics of a1 meson

Description

The phenomenological meson Lagrangian based on the four-quark interactions of the scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and axial-vector types is used for description of the decay τ-→π+π-π-ντ. The structure of the main hadronic vertex a1-no is discussed. The expression for the axial hadronic current Jμ(a1→3π) is obtained. The low-energy limit of this current is analyzed. Spectral functions for the main channel of the given process are calculated. The fitting of the experimental data leads to the following values of the a1 meson parameters: ma1=1242 37 MeV, Γa1=465143+228 MeV (DELCO); ma1=1260±14 MeV, Γa1=298-34+40 MeV (MARK 2); ma1=1250±9 MeV, Γa1=488±32 MeV (AFGUS). 27 refs.; 4 figs.; 2 tabs
