Abstract
We show that there are two reasons why the partial width for the transition is suppressed. Firstly, the spin-averaged matrix element (m.e.) is small, being equal to 0.023 GeV in our relativistic calculations. Secondly, the spin-orbit splittings produce relatively large contributions, giving GeV, while due to large cancellation the m.e. GeV is small and negative; at the same time the magnitude of GeV is relatively large. These m.e. give rise to the partial widths: eV, eV, which are in good agreement with the CLEO and BaBar data, and also to eV, which satisfies the BaBar limit, eV.
