The "forbidden" decays of hybrid mesons to π can be large
Abstract
The observation of π1(1600) π is shown in the flux-tube model to be compatible with this state being a hybrid meson with branching ratio to this channel 30%. The π widths of other hybrids are related by rather general arguments. These results enable cross sections for photoproduction of hybrids to be predicted.
