Abstract
An outstanding mystery of charmonium physics is why the J/psi decays p rominently to pseudoscalar plus vector meson channels, such as J/psi - -> rho pi and J/psi --> KK, whereas the psi'(2S) does not. We show th at such decays of J/psi and their suppression for psi'(2S) follow natu rally from the existence of intrinsic charm \(q) over bar q (c) over b ar c] Fock components of the light vector mesons.
