Abstract: (Elsevier)
Using the ARGUS detector at DORIS II, we have analyzed tau decays into π − π − π + π 0 ν τ . The branching ratio was determined to be (4.2±0.5±0.9)%. From a study of the three pion sub-system, we find evidence for the decay τ − → ωπ − ν τ with a branching ratio of (1.5±0.3±0.3)%. The ωπ − system is found to be predominantly in a J P =1 − state. There is no evidence for second-class axial-vector currents. The spectral function for the ωπ − final state is in agreement with a prediction based on CVC and σ e + e −→ ωπ 0 .
