QCD Constraints on Form Factor Shapes

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

This talk presents an introduction to the use of dispersion relations to constrain the shapes of hadronic form factors consistent with QCD. The applications described include methods for studying |V_{cb}| and |V_{ub}|, the strange quark mass, and the pion charge radius.
