Abstract

Three basic pionic amplitudes fπ+, Fπ (for π0→γγ), and F (for πγ→γγ) are calculated in a QCD-oriented Bethe-Salpeter model of qq̅ hadrons which fits the spectra of all quarkonia. The results, fπ+=157 MeV (experiment, 135), Γ(π0→γγ)=8.03 eV (7.9), and F=12.7 GeV-3 (13±2), obtained with no free parameters, agree with the data and with the Wess-Zumino-Witten theory.
