Analyticity and the Isgur-Wise Function

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-11-01 v1

Abstract

We reconsider the recent derivation by de Rafael and Taron of bounds on the slope of the Isgur-Wise function. We argue that one must be careful to include cuts starting below the heavy meson pair production threshold, arising from heavy quark-antiquark bound states, and that if such cuts are properly accounted for then no constraints may be derived.
