Abstract
There are attempts in the literature to theoretically explain the large breaking of isotopic invariance in the decay by the mechanism containing the logarithmic (triangle) singularity, i.e., as being due to the transition . The corresponding calculations were fulfilled for a hypothetic case of the stable meson. Here, we show that the account of the finite width of the () smoothes the logarithmic singularities in the amplitude and results in the suppression of the calculated decay width by the factor of 6–8 as compared with the case of . We also analyze the difficulties related with the assumption of the dominance of the decay mechanism and discuss the possible dynamics of the decay . The decisive improvement of the experimental data on the , , , and mass spectra in the decay of the resonance structure to and , and on the shape of the resonance peaks themselves in the and decay channels is necessary for further establishing the decay mechanism.
