Description

The conventional method to calculate $\pi\to\gamma\gamma$ decay width is to study the momentum dependence of the pion form factor $F_{\pi\gamma\gamma}(p^2,q^2)$ with $p$, $q$ the momenta of two photons and perform an extrapolation to the on-shell limit, $p^2,q^2=0$. In alternative, we propose a novel, simple approach to determine the decay width directly from the hadronic function in Euclidean coordinate space.
