A perturbative approach to the eta_c-gamma transition form factor

Abstract

The eta_c-gamma transition form factor is calculated within a perturbative approach. For the eta_c-meson, a wave function of the Bauer-Stech-Wirbel type is used where the two free parameters, namely the decay constant f(eta_c) and the transverse size of the wave function, are related to the Fock state probability and the width for the two-photon decay Gamma[eta_c -> gamma gamma]. The Q^2 dependence of the eta_c-gamma transition form factor is well determined.
