abstract

The ratios $R_{\tau/P}\equiv \Gamma(\tau \to P \nu_\tau [\gamma]) / \Gamma(P \to\mu \nu_\mu[\gamma])$ ($P=\pi, K$) provide sensitive tests of lepton universality $\left|g_\tau/g_\mu\right|=1$ and are a useful tool for new physics searches. The radiative corrections to $R_{\tau/P}$ are computed following a large-$N_C$ expansion to deal with hadronic effects: Chiral Perturbation Theory is enlarged by including the lightest multiplets of spin-one heavy states such that the relevant Green functions are well-behaved at high energies. We find $\delta R_{\tau/\pi}=(0.18\pm 0.57 )\%$ and $\delta R_{\tau/K}=(0.97\pm 0.58 )\%$, which imply $\left|g_\tau/g_\mu\right|_\pi=0.9964\pm 0.0038$ and $\left|g_\tau/g_\mu\right|_K=0.9857\pm 0.0078$, compatible with and at $1.8\sigma$ of lepton universality, respectively. We test unitarity and bind non-standard effective interactions with the $\tau \to P \nu_\tau [\gamma]$ decays.

  1. Electroweak precision physics via angular distributions in hadronic $\tau$ decays

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Angular moments in two-pseudoscalar tau decays give form-factor-independent SM relations that tensor new physics and scalar mass effects can break.

  2. Comment on "Radiative corrections to tau -> pi(K) nu_tau[gamma]: A reliable new physics test"

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    The GR10–DF dictionary has the wrong axial sign, so GR10 matches the chiral axial prediction but opposes the anomaly in the vector sector; the numerical shift in δr_SD is tiny (−0.004% for pions).

  3. CP violation studies at Super Tau-Charm Facility

    hep-ex 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A future Super Tau-Charm Facility is projected to test CP violation in hyperon, tau, and charm decays at 1e-4 to 1e-3 sensitivities and improve the kaon CPT mass-difference limit tenfold.

  4. Radiative corrections to one- and two-meson tau decays for precise new physics tests

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    Improved radiative corrections bring the pion tau-decay ratio into one-sigma agreement with lepton universality and sharpen CKM-unitarity and non-standard-interaction constraints.
