Abstract
It is shown that the considerably reduced widths found recently in VPγ transitions are accountable via the recoil effect under the quark-pair-creation hypothesis which gives a parameter-free reduction factor (2/3)2. However, the problems of ωπ0γ and ΔNγ seem to remain, so direct Primakoff-type measurements via ω and Δ0 production with π0 and neutron beams, respectively, on nuclei are suggested to resolve the issue.
