Abstract
The product of the coupling constants for εππ and ε2γ is estimated from a super-convergent sum rule obtained from the helicity-flip amplitude of pion-Compton scattering. It is then used to show that the contribution of ε (even C) to the process e+eπ+πγ (to order α3) is about two orders of magnitude larger than that when the pions are in odd-C states.
