Abstract
We exploit the fact that within massless perturbative QCD the same Green's function determines the hadronic contribution to the decay width and the moments of the cross section. This allows one to obtain relations between physical observables in the two processes up to an unprecedented high order of perturbative QCD. A precision measurement of the decay width allows one then to predict the first few moments of the spectral density in annihilations integrated up to with high accuracy. The proposed tests are in reach of present experimental capabilities.
