Abstract

We investigate the O(αsv2)O(\alpha_s v^2) correction to the process of pseudoscalar quarkonium decay to two photons in nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization framework. The short-distance coefficient associated with the relative-order v2v^2 NRQCD matrix element is determined to next-to-leading order in αs\alpha_s through the perturbative matching procedure. Some technical subtleties encountered in calculating the {O(\alpha_s) QCD amplitude are thoroughly addressed.
