Abstract

We evaluate the two-photon width of the pseudoscalar charmonia, Gamma(eta\_c -> gamma gamma) and Gamma(eta'\_c -> gamma gamma), within a Heavy-Quark Spin-Symmetry setting and show that whereas the former agrees with experiment, the latter is more than twice larger than the recent measurement by CLEO. When binding-energy effects are included in the eta'\_c case, the discrepancy is worse, pointing out at a possible anomaly in the eta'\_c decay.
