Results are given in dependence on the $σ$-mass and the constituent mass of the light quark. The triangle quark-loop diagram, responsible for the two-photon transition, is carefully evaluated: a term in the transition amplitude, often omitted in literature, results in destructive interference with the leading term. As a result we show that the two-photon decay width of the $σ$ in the quarkonium picture is less than 1 keV for the physical range of parameters.6 pages, 4 figuresHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
