We show that the newly measured branching ratios of vector charmonia ($J/\psi$, $\psi^\prime$ and $\psi(3770))$ into $\gamma P$, where $P$ stands for light pseudoscalar mesons $\pi^0$, $\eta$, and $\eta^\prime$, can be well understood in…
Radiative decays of pseudoscalar and vector mesons are calculated in the framework of the chiral Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. We use the amplitude for triangle quark loops of anomalous type. In evaluating these loop integrals we use two…
