The dynamics of this factorization is probed with dispersion relations, showing that unallowed approximations are usually made, and some ordre alpha^2 corrections missed. Further, we discuss the relevance of the Schrodinger wavefunction as the basis for perturbative calculations. Finally, we apply our formalism to the parapositronium two-photon decay.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-06-01T18:49:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dispersion relations", "parapositronium decay", "parapositronium two-photon decay", "positronium decay rates", "schrodinger wavefunction" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 528093, "adsabs": "2000hep.ph....6016L" } } }
