Two-photon helicity selection rules and widths for positronium and quarkonium states with arbitrary angular momenta

Abstract

The observation of a large {gamma}{gamma} width for the {sup 1}D{sub 2} qq-bar state {pi}{sub 2}(1670) suggests that the {gamma}{gamma} couplings of many orbitally-excited light-quark qq-bar states may be experimentally accessible. In this paper we present {gamma}{gamma} helicity amplitudes for nonrelativistic fermion-antifermion states with general angular-momentum quantum numbers {sup 1}l{sub g} and {sup 3}l{sub g}, and note some relations and selection rules that may be useful in the spectroscopic classification of orbital excitations. (author).
