Abstract

The η→π0γγ decay was investigated by the SND detector at VEPP-2M e+e- collider in the reaction e+e-→φ→ηγ. Here we present the results and some details of this study. We report an upper limit (90% c.l.) Br(η→π0γγ)<8.4×10-4 as our final result. Our upper limit does not contradict the earlier measurement by GAMS spectrometer. To facilitate future studies a rather detailed review of the problem is also given.
