Abstract

It is argued that the charged Zc+(3885)Z^+_c(3885) resonance, treated as a `molecular' state of charmed DD and DD^* mesons, is likely to consist of two peaks unequally coupled to the D+Dˉ0D^{*+} \bar D^0 and D+Dˉ0D^+ \bar D^{*0} channels. The peaks should be split in mass by at least approximately 1.5 MeV. This behavior arises from an enhancement of the effect of isospin violation in the masses of the DD and DD^* mesons due to apparent suppression of forces between the mesons depending on the spins of the heavy as well as of the light quarks. The suggested double-peak structure can be studied either by direct shape measurement in the channels with heavy mesons, or by isospin-violating transitions from Zc±(3885)Z_c^\pm(3885) to the states of charmonium plus a light meson.
