abstract
It is pointed out that the diagonal amplitude of the $E1-E1$ chromo-electric interaction with soft gluon fields (chromo-polarizability) can be measured directly for the $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$ resonances in the decays $J/\psi \to \pi \pi \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $\Upsilon \to \pi \pi \ell^+ \ell^-$ with soft pions. For the $J/\psi$ this amplitude is often discussed in connection with the $J/\psi$ interaction with nuclear matter, while for the $\Upsilon$ the chromo-polarizability enters the estimates of the non-perturbative mass shift of the resonance relevant to precision determination of the $b$ quark mass from the $\Upsilon$ mass.

Complex chromoelectric polarizability of a heavy-quarkonium resonance: pole definition and channel-complete pNRQCD matching
The chromoelectric polarizability of an unstable quarkonium is the complex-pole curvature equal to the complete two-field vertex divided by the energy derivative of the inverse propagator, recovering the stable-state result in the narrow limit.
