Two Photon Transition Form Factor of Quarkonia
The two photon transition of quarkonia are studied within a
covariant approach based on the consistent truncation scheme of the quantum
chromodynamics Dyson-Schwinger equation for the quark propagator and the
Bethe--Salpeter equation for the mesons. We find the decay widths of
and in good
agreement with experimental data. The obtained transition form factor of
for a wide range of space-like photon
momentum transfer squared is also in agreement with the experimental findings
of the BABAR experiment. As a by-product, the decay widths of
and the transition form factor of
are predicted, which
await for experimental test
