Resonant structures in the dipion mass spectrum from decays, produced via decays, are analyzed using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of . A sizeable contribution from the isospin conserving decay is established for the first time, , with a significance of more than . The amplitude of isospin violating decay, , relative to isospin conserving decay, , is properly determined, and it is a factor of 6 larger than expected for a pure charmonium state.
