 The pion channel would naïvely be the dominant decay channel because the collective mass of the pions is smaller than that of the kaons, making it energetically favorable; however, it is suppressed by the OZI rule.The quark composition of the meson can be thought of as a mix between , , and states, but it is very nearly a pure state.This can be shown by deconstructing the wave function of the into its component parts.
