Description

An analysis of eight two-body Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka-rule-violating decays of psi to a vector and a pseudoscalar is carried out. The analysis uses the vector-dominance model and a standard parametrization of the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka (OZI) process. It is pointed out that for two of the rates a second-order OZI process makes a substantial contribution. Seven of the eight rates are consistent with each other and the model; only psi→ωeta is inconsistent. The average value of G/sub omegarhopi/ extracted from the data is 8.85 GeV-1, consistent with the chiral result G/sub omegarhopi/ = m/sub rho/ 2/π2F/sub π/ 3 = 9.3 GeV-1
