We study the decay $J/\psi\to\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{0}$ within the framework of the Khuri-Treiman equations. We find that the BESIII experimental di-pion mass distribution in the $\rho(770)$-region is well reproduced with a once-subtracted…
High-statistics data on the $e^+e^-\to \pi^+\pi^-$ cross section and the pion vector form factor have been obtained recently by several collaborations. Unfortunately, there are some tensions between different datasets, especially the most…
The electromagnetic form factor of the pion is obtained using a particular realization of QCD in the large $N_c$ limit, which sums up the infinite number of zero-width resonances to yield an Euler's Beta function of the Veneziano type. This…
We have measured the $\pi^+\to {\rm e}^+\nu\gamma$ branching ratio over a wide region of phase space, based on a total of 65,460 events acquired using the PIBETA detector. Minimum-$\chi^2$ fits to the measured $(E_{e^+},E_\gamma)$ energy…
We consider the pion structure in the region of low and moderately high momentum transfers: at low $Q^2$, the pion is treated as a composite system of constituent quarks; at moderately high momentum transfers, $Q^2=10\div25\;GeV^2$, the…
Using 20.7 pb^-1 of e+e- annihilation data taken at sqrt{s} = 3.671 GeV with the CLEO-c detector, precision measurements of the electromagnetic form factors of the charged pion, charged kaon, and proton have been made for timelike momentum…
We discuss the nonleading, ``soft" contribution to the pion form factor at intermediate momentum transfer within operator product expansion approach. We argue, that the corresponding contribution can temporarily {\bf simulate} the leading…

We improve, in the energy region between $\bar{K}K$ threshold and $\sim~1.4$ GeV, the energy-dependent phase shift analysis of $\pi\pi$ scattering presented in a previous paper. For the S0 wave we have included more data above $\bar{K}K$…
