Abstract
We study the density dependence of the decay π0→γγ using the Skyrme Lagrangian to describe simultaneously both the matter background and mesonic fluctuations. The classical ground state configuration has different chiral properties depending on the Skyrmion density, which is reflected in the physical properties of pion fluctuating on top of the classical background. This leads to large suppression at high density of both photo-production from the neutral pion and the reverse process. The effective charges of π± are also discussed in the same framework.
