Light quark masses from exclusive tau decays

Description

A method of indirect measurement of the light quark running mass m-circumflex = (md + mu)/2 is elaborated in detail. It is based on measuring 1%-level azimuthal angular asymmetries in the decay τ→ντ + 3π. The latter are then used in QCD sum rules to obtain experimental lower bounds for m-circumflex. For a sample of 2.5 * 105 τ→ντ + 3π decays free of background, the resulting statistical error in the bound for m-circumflex is estimated to be 1 MeV, i.e., comparable to the systematic error due to the use of QCD sum rules.
