Is the anomalous decay ratio of DsJ(2632) due to isospin breaking?

Abstract

Quark pair annihilation into gluons is suppressed at large momenta due to the asymptotic freedom. As a consequence, mass eigenvalues of heavy states should be almost diagonal with respect to up and down quark masses, thereby breaking isospin. We suggest the particle observed by the SELEX Collaboration, DsJ(2632) to be to a good extent a [cd][dbar sbar] state, which would explain why its D0 K+ mode is anomalously suppressed with respect to Ds eta. Predictions for the rates of the yet unobserved modes Ds pi0 and D+ K0 are given.
