Abstract
Using events accumulated with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we present the first measurement of decays of to vector meson pairs , , and . The branching fractions are measured to be , , and , for , , and , respectively, which indicates that the hadron helicity selection rule is significantly violated in decays. In addition, the measurement of provides the first indication of the rate of doubly OZI-suppressed decay. Finally, we present improved measurements for the branching fractions of and to vector meson pairs.
