Abstract
The hadronic weak currents without strangeness can be classified into first- and second-class currents according to their $G$-transformation properties. In the Standard Model, second-class currents are strongly suppressed by isospin symmetry violation and no such currents have been observed so far. Given its quantum numbers, the decay $\tau^- \to \pi^- \eta\nu_{\tau}$ can be induced only through second-class currents, with theoretical predictions estimating a branching ratio of $\mathrm{O}(10^{-5})$. Such a fraction is reachable within the available integrated luminosity at the Belle experiment. In this work, we report the status of the analysis of the decay channel $\tau^- \to \pi^- \eta\nu_{\tau}$ based on Monte Carlo simulated samples. Expected sensitivities assuming the full data size of the Belle experiment are also presented.
