Effective field theory description of the pion form factor

Using our present knowledge on effective hadronic theories, short-distance QCD information, the 1NC expansion, analyticity and unitarity, we derive an expression for the pion form factor, in terms of mπ, mK, Mϱ and fπ. This parameter-free prediction provides a surprisingly good description of the experimental data up to energies of the order of 1 GeV.
