Two Photon Width of eta_c (paper version)

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-09-13 v1

Abstract

We discuss the measured partial width of the pseudoscalar charmonium state eta_c into two photons. Predictions from potential models are examined and compared with experimental values. Including radiative corrections, it is found that present measurements are compatible both with a QCD type potential and with a static Coulomb potential. The latter is then used to give an estimate on the eta_b decay into two photons. Results for eta_c are also compared with those from j/psi data through the NRQCD model.
