Abstract
We revisit the isospin-breaking and electromagnetic corrections to the decay , which allow its use as input in the two-pion contribution to the (leading-order) hadronic vacuum polarization part of the muon anomalous magnetic moment. We extend a previous resonance chiral Lagrangian analysis, which included those operators saturating the next-to-leading-order chiral low-energy constants, by including the contributions appearing at the next order. As a result, we improve agreement between the two-pion tau decay and data and reduce the discrepancy between experiment and the Standard Model prediction of (using input) to the approximately level.
