arXiv:0904.1604 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2009.03.030

Abstract

Two-photon annihilation rates of tensor charmonium and bottomonium up to third radial excited states are estimated in the relativistic Salpeter method. Full Salpeter equation for tensor state is solved with a well defined relativistic wave function and we calculated the annihilation amplitude using the Mandelstam formalism. Our estimates of the decay widths are: eV, eV, eV and eV. We also give total decay widths of the lowest states estimated by the two-gluon decay rates, and the results are: MeV, MeV and MeV.
