Abstract
(en) In order to fulfill Low's theorem requirements, a new lowest order basis for bound state decay computations is proposed, in which the binding energy is treated non-perturbatively. The properties of the method are sketched by reviewing standard positronium decay processes. Then, it is shown how applying the method to quarkonia sheds new light on some longstanding puzzles. Comment: 12 pages, 10 figures. Talk given at the ETH Workshop on Positronium Physics, May 30-31, 2003, Zurich, Switzerland
