New High Order Relations between Physical Observables in Perturbative QCD

Abstract
We exploit the fact that within massless perturbative QCD the same Green's function determines the hadronic contribution to the τ decay width and the moments of the e+e cross section. This allows one to obtain relations between physical observables in the two processes up to an unprecedented high order of perturbative QCD. A precision measurement of the τ decay width allows one then to predict the first few moments of the spectral density in e+e annihilations integrated up to smτ2 with high accuracy. The proposed tests are in reach of present experimental capabilities.
