Abstract
We analyze the role of final state interactions (FSI) in decay of the lightest exotic meson, with . We use the relativistic Lippmann-Schwinger equation for two coupled and channels. The first one is the predicted dominant decay mode of the , whereas in the other a narrow exotic signal has been reported by the E852 collaboration. The FSI potential is constructed, based on the meson exchange between the two channels. We find that this process introduces corrections to the widths of the order of only a few MeV. Therefore, we conclude that a substantial mode cannot be generated through level mixing.
