Abstract

We discusses the charge asymmetry in BDDˉK B\rightarrow D\bar DK decays with an invariant mass of the DDˉD\bar D pair near the Ψ(3770)\Psi(3770) resonance. Unlike Ψ(3770) \Psi (3770) decays in e+e e^+e^- annihilation, in B+B^+ decays the probability of D0Dˉ0D^0\bar D^0 production is almost three times higher than D+DD^+ D^-. In B0B^0 decays, the ratio of these probabilities will be opposite. The effect is explained by the fact that, in BB -meson decays, the DDˉD\bar D pair is produced in a superposition of isoscalar and isovector states, and only in combination with KK -mesons the total state has 1/2 1/2 isospin. We present a simple model in which the interference of the nonresonant isovector amplitude with the resonant isoscalar amplitude explains the experimental data.
