We investigate the decays of pi^0, eta and eta-prime into two photons in an effective U(3) chiral Lagrangian approach without employing large N_c arguments. Tree level and one-loop contributions from the anomalous Wess-Zumino-Witten Lagrangian are calculated and the importance of eta--eta-prime mixing is discussed. Unitarity corrections beyond one-loop play an important role for the decays with off-shell photons and are included by employing a coupled channel Bethe-Salpeter equation which satisfies unitarity constraints and generates vector-mesons from composed states of two pseudoscalar mesons.

  1. New axion contribution to the two-photon decays of neutral pions

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Axion-pion mixing adds a new next-to-leading-order term to the pi0 to gamma gamma decay width that is negligible for standard light axions but may matter for MeV-scale heavy axions.
