A simple solvable mathematical model is proposed for the mesonic decays of heavy quarkonia. It consists in coupling the bound quark channel and the free decaying meson channel through a contact interaction. The full Hamiltonian is obtained as a self-adjoint extension of the free Hamiltonian, specified by suitable boundary conditions. One obtains a Weisskopf-Van Royen-type formula for the decay width at the lowest order in the interaction strength. Finally the model is shown to remain solvable if a Coulomb interaction is added in the quark channel. 53 refs.
