Abstract
We have studied the τ→νρ0π decay in data taken with the PLUTO detector at the DORIS e+e- storage ring, at CM energies from 4 to 5 GeV. We have found 27 events with the τ→νρ0π decay mode corresponding to a branching ratio of B=(5.4±1.7)%. The Dalitz plot and the ρ0π mass spectrum are analysed for the ρπ partial wave and spin state. Only the ρ0πs-wave as produced by the axial vector current gives a good description. The ρ0π mass spectrum is suggestive of an A1 resonance. An upper limit on τ±→vπ±π+π- without ρ0 formation is given.
