Abstract

We make the first calculation in lattice QCD of two-photon decays of mesons. Working in the charmonium sector, using the LSZ reduction to relate a photon to a sum of hadronic vector eigenstates, we compute form-factors in both the space-like and time-like domains for the transitions ηc γ* γ* and χc0 γ* γ*. At the on-shell point we find approximate agreement with experimental world-average values.
