Abstract

High-statistics data on the e+e-��+�- cross section and the pion vector form factor have been obtained recently by several collaborations. Unfortunately, there are some tensions between different data sets, especially the most precise ones, which have not been resolved so far. Additional independent constraints on the data are therefore of interest. We consider a parametrization-free method of analytic extrapolation proposed recently, which is based on a mixed phase and modulus extremal problem and combines rigorous upper and lower bounds with numerical simulations to account for the statistical distributions of the input and output values. Spacelike data on the form factor and measurements of the modulus in the region (0.65-0.71) GeV are used as input. In previous works, the formalism was applied for extrapolating the form factor to low energies. In the present work, we use it as a stringent and model-independent test of consistency with analyticity and unitarity for the high-statistics data around the � resonance. The study reveals some inconsistencies, in particular, below the � peak, the BABAR data are slightly higher than the band of extrapolated values, while above the � peak, all the data are situated at the lower edge of the band. The implications of the results on the two-pion vacuum polarization contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon are briefly discussed. © 2020 authors.
