M1decay rates of heavy quarkonia with a nonsingular potential

Abstract
We use a nonsingular-potential model for heavy quarkonia proposed by Gupta, Repko, and Suchyta to calculate the transition amplitudes for the magnetic-dipole (M1) one-photon radiative decays of the cc¯ and bb¯ bound systems. The wave functions of the bound systems are calculated by a nonperturbative treatment. The results are in better agreement with the experimental data than those predicted using other potential models.
