We consider a model with $\rho\pi\pi$, $\rho KK$, and gauge-invariant $\rho\gamma$ couplings and obtain the pion form factor $F_\pi$ at timelike momentum transfers by resummation of pion and kaon loops. We use a dispersion representation…
We present an improved Standard-Model (SM) prediction for the dilepton decay of the neutral pion. The loop amplitude is determined by the pion transition form factor for $\pi^0\to\gamma^*\gamma^*$, for which we employ a dispersive…
The two-pion contribution from low energies to the muon magnetic moment anomaly, although small, has a large relative uncertainty since in this region the experimental data on the cross sections are neither sufficient nor precise enough. It…
We show that the $J/\psi \rightarrow \pi^{+} \pi^{-}$ decay is a reliable source of information for the electromagnetic form factor of the pion at $t=M_{J/\psi}^2=9.6 {\rm GeV}^2$ by using general arguments to estimate, or rather, put upper…

In this work, we employ a dispersion relation that allows to recover the electromagnetic form factor of the pion from its modulus along the unitarity cut. Unlike the standard dispersive approach, this method extends in a straightforward…
We revisit the isospin-breaking and electromagnetic corrections to the decay $\tau^-\to\pi^-\pi^0\nu_\tau$, which allow its use as input in the two-pion contribution to the (leading order) hadronic vacuum polarization part of the muon…
The two-pion contribution to hadronic vacuum polarization can be extracted from tau decay data when isospin violating and radiative corrections are taken into account. When the dominant corrections are applied to the photon-inclusive decay…

We study a model-independent parameterization of the vector pion form factor that arises from the constraints of analyticity and unitarity. Our description should be suitable up to sqrt(s) ~ 1.2 GeV and allows a model-independent…
