Abstract.

The width of the decay \(\tau\rightarrow f_{1} \pi\nu_{\tau}\) has recently been measured by the BaBar experiment. The estimation of this width is given in the framework of the NJL model with the axial-vector mesons. Prediction is in agreement with experimental data. It is shown that the \( \pi - a_{1}\) transition contribution plays an important role and allows us to bring the NJL prediction to the data.
