High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v2

Abstract

The decay widths of S-wave quarkonia (\etc,\etb  and  \J,\U\ee\etc,\etb\to \gg{~~and~~} \J,\U\to\ee) are calculated on the basis of a quasipotential approach. The nontrivial dependence on relative quark motion of decay amplitude is taken into consideration via quarkonium wave function. It is shown that relativistic corrections may be large (10-50 %) and comparable with QCD corrections.
