Abstract

The role of higher Fock-state contributions to exclusive charmonium decays will be discussed. It will be argued that the J/Psi (Psi') decays into baryon-antibaryon pairs are dominated by the valence Fock-state contributions. P-wave charmonium decays, on the other hand, receive strong contributions from the c cbar g Fock states since the valence Fock-state contributions are suppressed in these reactions. Numerical results for the decay widths of J/Psi (Psi') into baryon-antibaryon and chi(J) into pairs of pseudoscalar mesons will be also presented and compared to data.
