Ambiguities in the calculation of leptonic decays of excited heavy quarkonium
Abstract
Description
We point out that the determination of the leptonic decay width of radially-excited quarkonia is strongly dependent on the position of the node typical of these excitations. We suggest that this feature could be related with the longstanding rho-pi puzzle.
