¹

From a fit of the pion form factor using the GOUNARIS 1968 parametrization with the complex phase of the ${{\mathit \rho}}−{{\mathit \omega}}$ interference leaving ${{\mathit \rho}{(1450)}}$, ${{\mathit \rho}{(1700)}}$ resonances as free parameters of the fit. The fit uses also data from CMD-2 and DM2 experiments. Systematic errors not estimated.

²	Applies the Unitary $\&$ Analytic Model of the pion electromagnetic form factor of DUBNICKA 2010 to analyze the data of LEES 2012G and ABLIKIM 2016C.

³	Applies the Unitary $\&$ Analytic Model of the pion electromagnetic form factor of DUBNICKA 2010 to analyze the data of ACHASOV 2006, AKHMETSHIN 2007, AUBERT 2009AS, and AMBROSINO 2011A.

⁴	Applies the Unitary $\&$ Analytic Model of the pion electromagnetic form factor of DUBNICKA 2010 to analyze the data of FUJIKAWA 2008.

⁵	From a Dalitz plot analysis in an isobar model with ${{\mathit \rho}{(1450)}}$ and ${{\mathit \rho}{(1700)}}$ masses and widths floating.

⁶	Using the KUHN 1990 parametrization of the pion form factor, neglecting ${{\mathit \rho}}−{{\mathit \omega}}$ interference.

⁷	Using the GOUNARIS 1968 parametrization of the pion form factor leaving the masses and widths of the ${{\mathit \rho}{(1450)}}$, ${{\mathit \rho}{(1700)}}$, and ${{\mathit \rho}{(2150)}}$ resonances as free parameters of the fit.

⁸	$\vert \mathit F_{{{\mathit \pi}}}(0)\vert ^2$ fixed to 1.

⁹	From the GOUNARIS 1968 parametrization of the pion form factor.

¹⁰	T-matrix pole.

¹¹	From phase shift analysis of HYAMS 1973 data.

¹²	Simple relativistic Breit-Wigner fit with constant width.

¹³	An additional 40 MeV uncertainty in both the mass and width is present due to the choice of the background shape.

¹⁴	Included in BECKER 1979 analysis.
