Low-energy constants from ALEPH hadronic tau decay data

We determined the NLO chiral low-energy constant $L_{10}$, and various combinations of NNLO chiral low-energy constants employing recently revised ALEPH results for the non-strange vector (V) and axial-vector (A) hadronic tau decay distributions and recently updated RBC/UKQCD lattice data for the non-strange V-A two-point function. In this talk, we explain the ingredients of this determination. Our errors are at or below the level expected for contributions of yet higher order in the chiral expansion, suggesting that our results exhaust the possibilities of what can be meaningfully achieved in an NNLO analysis.

Low-energy constants and condensates from ALEPH hadronic $τ$ decay data

We determine the NLO chiral low-energy constant $L_{10}^r$, and combinations $C_{12}^r\pm C_{61}^r+C_{80}^r$, $C_{13}^r-C_{62}^r+C_{81}^r$, $C_{61}^r$, and $C_{87}^r$, of the NNLO chiral low-energy constants incorporating recently revised ALEPH results for the non-strange vector ($V$) and axial-vector ($A$) hadronic $τ$ decay distributions and recently updated RBC/UKQCD lattice data for the non-strange $V-A$ two-point function. In the $\bar{\rm MS}$ scheme, at renormalization scale $μ=770\ {MeV}$, we find $L_{10}^r=-0.00350(17)$, $C_{12}^r+C_{61}^r+C_{80}^r=0.00237(16)\ {GeV}^{-2}$, $C_{12}^r-C_{61}^r+C_{80}^r=-0.00056(15)\ {GeV}^{-2}$, $C_{13}^r-C_{62}^r+C_{81}^r=0.00046(9)\ {GeV}^{-2}$, $C_{61}^r=0.00146(15)\ {GeV}^{-2}$, and $C_{87}^r=0.00510(22)\ {GeV}^{-2}$. With errors here at or below the level expected for contributions of yet higher order in the chiral expansion, the analysis exhausts the possibilities of what can be meaningfully achieved in an NNLO analysis. We also consider the dimension six and dimension eight coefficients in the operator product expansion in the $V-A$ channel.
