Abstract
Several applications of a simple approach to unitarization in the case of the three-point functions of hard-meson theory are made. For the first of these, effective-range formulas are obtained for the pion form factor in the timelike region for both hard-pion current-algebra () and Veneziano models. Next, the extension of this procedure to the case of several coupled channels is used to obtain an effective-range formula for the pion form factor which includes the small effect of the closed channel. Finally, an expression for the pion form factor is derived which allows for the inclusion of some nonresonant -wave () scattering. Since this component is parametrized via the introduction of an additional (nonresonant) -wave scattering length, the resulting expression for the pion form factor generates a one-parameter family of fits to the experimental data. The data appear to be consistent with a small positive nonresonant scattering length and favor a value of slightly less than 124 MeV.
