During the time between editions of the
Review of Particle Physics and the
Particle Physics Booklet, we often find a number of errata. We correct most errata on our WWW pages. If you should find errata that are not known to us, please send mail to
pdg @ lbl.gov.
For errata in previous editions, please see:

$\pi^0$ particle listing
(web version page 6)
(August 22, 2025):
- "Linear Coefficient of $\pi^0$ Electromagnetic Form Factor" data block should begin with:
| VALUE ($10^{-2}$) | EVTS | DOCUMENT ID | TECN | COMMENT |
| $3.32 \pm 0.29$ OUR AVERAGE |
| $3.0 \pm 1.0$ | 0.4M | $^1$ADLARSON 17A | SPEC | $\gamma p \to \pi^0 p$, $\pi^0 \to e^+ e^- \gamma$ |
| (...) |
$^1$ADLARSON 17A use the A2 tagged photon facility at the Mainz Microtron, MAMI to meaasure $\pi^0$ Dalitz decay. The error is the total estimated experimental uncertainty.
