 +====== TTP06-01 Tau-Decays to Five Mesons in TAUOLA ======

 +   <hidden TTP06-01  Tau-Decays to Five Mesons in TAUOLA > The $\tau$-decay library TAUOLA has gained popularity over the last decade. 
 + However, with the continuously increasing precision of the data, some of its  
 + functionality has become insufficient.  
 + One of the requirements is the implementation of decays 
 + into five mesons plus a neutrino with a realistic decay amplitude. This note 
 + describes a step into this direction. 
 + For the $2\pi^-\pi^+2\pi^0$ mode the three decay chains 
 + $\tau^- \to a_1^- \nu \to  
 + \rho^-(\to \pi^-\pi^0) \omega (\to \pi^-\pi^+\pi^0)  \nu$, 
 + $\tau^- \to a_1^- \nu \to  
 + a_1^-(\to 2\pi^-\pi^+) f_0 (\to 2\pi^0)  \nu$, and 
 + $\tau^- \to a_1^- \nu \to  
 + a_1^-(\to \pi^-2\pi^0) f_0 (\to \pi^+\pi-)  \nu$ are introduced 
 + with simple assumptions about the couplings and propagators of the 
 + various resonances. Similar amplitudes (without the 
 + $\rho\omega$ contributions) are adopted for the $\pi^-4\pi^0$ 
 + and $3\pi^-2\pi^+$ modes.  
 +  
 + The five-pion amplitude is thus based on a simple model,  
 + which, however, can be considered as a first realistic  example.  
 + Phase-space generation includes the possibility of 
 + presampling the $\omega$ and $a_1$ resonances, in one channel only, however. 
 + This is probably sufficient for the time being, both for physics applications 
 + and for tests. 
 +  
 + The technical test of the new part of the generator 
 + is performed by  comparing Monte Carlo and analytical results. 
 + To this end a non-realistic, but easy to calculate, 
 + purely scalar amplitude for the decay into five massless pions was used.
