Small-Size Instanton Corrections to the $τ$ Hadronic Width

arXiv:hep-ph/9302211 · doi:10.1016/0550-3213(94)90514-2

Abstract

We compute the effect of small-size instanton corrections to current-current correlators, for all combinations of axial, vector, and possibly flavour non-diagonal currents. We apply our result to the hadronic decays of the $τ$ lepton, in order to assess the reliability of the determination of $\as$ from the $τ$ hadronic width.
