Abstract
<p><p class="abstract">In<sup> </sup>this work, we study the isospin-violating decay of phi-->omegapi<sup>0</sup> and<sup> </sup>quantify the electromagnetic (EM) transitions and intermediate meson exchanges as<sup> </sup>two major sources of the decay mechanisms. In the EM<sup> </sup>decays, the present datum status allows a good constraint on<sup> </sup>the EM decay form factor in the vector meson dominance<sup> </sup>model, and it turns out that the EM transition can<sup> </sup>only account for about 1/4~1/3 of the branching ratio for<sup> </sup>phi-->omegapi<sup>0</sup>. The intermediate meson exchanges, <i>K</i>[overline K](<i>K</i><sup>*</sup>) (intermediate <i>K</i>[overline K] interaction via<sup> </sup><i>K</i><sup>*</sup> exchanges), <i>K</i>[overline K]<sup>*</sup>(<i>K</i>) (intermediate <i>K</i>[overline K]<sup>*</sup> rescattering via kaon exchanges), and<sup> </sup><i>K</i>[overline K]<sup>*</sup>(<i>K</i><sup>*</sup>) (intermediate <i>K</i>[overline K]<sup>*</sup> rescattering via <i>K</i><sup>*</sup> exchanges), which evade the<sup> </sup>naive Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka rule, serve as another important contribution to the<sup> </sup>isospin violations. They are evaluated with effective Lagrangians where explicit<sup> </sup>constraints from experiment can be applied. Combining these three contributions,<sup> </sup>we obtain results in good agreement with the experimental data.<sup> </sup>This approach is also extended to <i>J</i>/psi(psi<sup>[prime]</sup>)-->omegapi<sup>0</sup>, where we find<sup> </sup>contributions from the <i>K</i>[overline K](<i>K</i><sup>*</sup>), <i>K</i>[overline K]<sup>*</sup>(<i>K</i>), and <i>K</i>[overline K]<sup>*</sup>(<i>K</i><sup>*</sup>) loops are negligibly<sup> </sup>small, and the isospin violation is likely to be dominated<sup> </sup>by the EM transition.</p>
