Abstract
A combination of finite energy sum rule techniques and Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) is used in order to exploit recent ALEPH data on the non-strange tau vector (V) and axial-vector (A) spectral functions with respect to an experimental determination of the ChPT quantity L_{10}. A constrained fit of R_{\tau,V-A}^(k,l) inverse moments (l=0) adjusts simultaneously L_{10} and the nonperturbative power terms of the Operator Product Expansion. We give explicit formulae for the first k=0,1 and l=-1,-2 strange and non-strange inverse moment chiral sum rules to one-loop order generalized ChPT. Our final result reads L^r_{10}(M_\rho)=-(5.13 +/- 0.19)x10^{-3}, where the error includes experimental and theoretical uncertainties.Comment: LaTex, 20 pages, 5 figures (EPS
