Anomaly-driven decay of massive vector bosons

Abstract

We inquire if the total decay rate of neutral vector mesons can contain relevant off-shell contributions from the triangle anomaly. The answer seems to be affirmative for the case of J/Psi, and as a byproduct we get estimates of the decay width for neutral pions.
