We report a high-statistics measurement of the branching fraction for tau^- --> pi^- pi^0 nu_tau and the invariant mass spectrum of the produced pi^- pi^0 system using 72.2 fb^-1 of data recorded with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+ e^- collider. The branching fraction obtained is (25.24 +/- 0.01 +/- 0.39)%, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. The unfolded pi^- pi^0 mass spectrum is used to determine resonance parameters for the rho(770), rho'(1450), and rho"(1700) mesons. We also use this spectrum to estimate the hadronic (2pi) contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (a_{mu}^{pipi}). Our result for a_{mu}^{pipi} integrated over the mass range sqrt{s} = 2m_{pi} - 1.8 GeV/c^2 is a_{mu}^{pipi} = (523.5 +/- 1.5 (exp) +/- 2.6 (Br) +/- 2.5 (isospin))x 10^{-10}, where the first error is due to the experimental uncertainties, the second is due to the uncertainties in the branching fractions and the third is due to the uncertainties in the isospin-violating corrections.

  1. Precision evaluation of the $\eta$- and $\eta'$-pole contributions to hadronic light-by-light scattering in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon

    hep-ph 2024-11 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    A new dispersive analysis of the eta and eta-prime transition form factors gives a_mu(eta-pole) = 14.7(9) x 10^-11 and a_mu(eta'-pole) = 13.5(7) x 10^-11, with combined pseudoscalar poles at 91.2(+2.9,-2.4) x 10^-11.

  2. 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.

  3. Dispersive Analysis of $D$- and $B$-Meson Form Factors with Chiral and Heavy-Quark Constraints

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The isovector D/D*/B/B* electromagnetic form factors are reconstructed dispersively with ππ rescattering, yielding ρ(770) coupling constants from pole residues.

  4. Comparison of the hadronic vacuum polarization between hadronic $\tau$-decay data and lattice QCD

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Lattice QCD and tau-decay dispersive calculations of isospin-one HVP generally agree, except for a significant difference in the 2π−π+π0 four-pion mode contribution to window quantities.

  5. Unified study of two-meson and axion-meson production from semileptonic tau decays within resonance chiral framework

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Within a resonance chiral model, hadron resonances boost predicted tau decays into pion/K plus axion by factors of 7.5 and 19.2, with branching ratios and forward-backward asymmetries also predicted.

  6. Dispersion relation for hadronic light-by-light scattering: $\eta$ and $\eta'$ poles

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A dispersive analysis of the eta and eta' transition form factors yields data-driven pole contributions to the muon g-2 of 14.7(9) x 10^-11 and 13.5(7) x 10^-11.

  7. Revisit of the electromagnetic correction to $\tau\to\pi\pi\nu_\tau$ and its implication for muon $g-2$ based on $\tau$ data

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Including scalar contributions to the omega->pi0 pi0 gamma fit revises G_EM(t); with the new correction, tau data give a_mu^HVP,LO(pi pi) = 516.0e-10 and a 2.7 sigma muon g-2 discrepancy.

  8. Compatibility between $e^+e^-$ and $\tau$ decay data in the di-pion channel and implications for $a_\mu^\mathrm{SM}$ and CVC tests

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Updated isospin-breaking corrections bring tau decay data into agreement with the new CMD-3 e+e- result, supporting a tau-based hadronic vacuum polarization estimate that reduces the muon g-2 tension to 2.7 sigma.

  9. Hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon g-2 on Euclidean windows from tau data

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    Tau data give an independent, lattice-compatible value for the intermediate-window hadronic vacuum polarization, disagreeing with the e+e- data-driven value that drives the muon g-2 tension.
