Polarization amplitudes in ${\tau }^{-}\to {\nu }_{\tau }VP$ decay beyond the standard model

Abstract

We use a recent formalism of the weak hadronic reactions ${\tau }^{-}\to {\nu }_{\tau }{M}_1{M}_2$ to study the helicity amplitudes in ${\tau }^{-}\to {\nu }_{\tau }VP$ decay. This recent formalism maps the transition matrix elements at the quark level into hadronic matrix elements, and finally writes the weak matrix elements in terms of easy analytical formulas evaluated by means of an elaborate angular momentum algebra. The formalism provides directly the amplitudes for the different spin third components of the vector mesons involved. We extend the formalism to a general case, with the operator ${\gamma }^{\mu }-\alpha {\gamma }^{\mu }{\gamma }_5$, that can account for different models beyond the standard model and study in detail the ${\tau }^{-}\to {\nu }_{\tau }{K}^{\ast 0}{K}^{-}$ reaction for the different helicities of the $K^{\ast 0}$. The results are shown in terms of the $\alpha$ parameter that differs for each model. We find that $\frac{d\Gamma }{d{M}_{\mathrm{inv}}^{(K^{\ast 0}{K}^{-})}}$ is very different for the different components $M=\pm 1,0$ and in particular the magnitude $\frac{d\Gamma }{d{M}_{\mathrm{inv}}^{(K^{\ast 0}{K}^{-})}}{|}_{M=+1}-\frac{d\Gamma }{d{M}_{\mathrm{inv}}^{(K^{\ast 0}{K}^{-})}}{|}_{M=-1}$ is very sensitive to the $\alpha$ parameter, which makes the investigation of this magnitude a most welcome initiative to test different models beyond the standard model.
