Abstract
A detailed analysis of the open charm effects on the decays of
\$J/\psi(\psi^\prime)VP\$ is presented, where \$V\$ stands for light vector
meson and \$P\$ for light pseudoscalar meson. These are the channels that the
so-called "12\% rule" of perturbative QCD (pQCD) is obviously violated.
Nevertheless, they are also the channels that violate the pQCD helicity
selection rule (HSR) at leading order. In this work, we put constraints on the
electromagnetic (EM) contribution, short-distance contribution from the
\$cc\$ annihilation at the wavefunction origin, and long-distance
contribution from the open charm threshold effects on these two decays. We show
that interferences among these amplitudes, in particular, the destructive
interferences between the short-distance and long-distance strong amplitudes
play a key role to evade the HSR and cause the significant deviations from the
pQCD expected "12\% rule".
