Title: Violation of quark-hadron duality and spectral chiral moments in QCD

Abstract

We analyze the spectral moments of the V-A two-point correlation function. Using all known short-distance constraints and the most recent experimental data from tau decays, we determine the lowest spectral moments, trying to assess the uncertainties associated with the so-called violations of quark-hadron duality. We have generated a large number of acceptable spectral functions, satisfying all conditions, and have used them to extract the wanted hadronic parameters through a careful statistical analysis. We obtain accurate values for the {chi}PT couplings L{sub 10} and C{sub 87}, and a realistic determination of the dimension six and eight contributions in the operator product expansion, O{sub 6}=(-5.4{sub -1.6}{sup +3.6}){center_dot}10{sup -3} GeV{sup 6} and O{sub 8}=(-8.9{sub -7.4}{sup +12.6}){center_dot}10{sup -3} GeV{sup 8}, showing that the duality-violation effects have been underestimated in previous literature.
