Determination of nucleon and pion form factors via dispersion relations

A practical strategy is presented and successfully implemented to determine form factors in the time-like but unphysical (below threshold) region usin g dispersion relations, in a model independent way without any bias towards expected resonances. Space and timelike data have been employed along with a regularization scheme to unfold and solve the integral equations. Remark ably, resonance structures with peaks for the rho(770), rho'(1600) and a st ructure near the N (N) over bar threshold are automatically generated. The Phi peak is invisible thus refuting suggestions about any sizeable s (s) ov er bar content; in the nucleon.
