Abstract
An analytic calculation of the breaking of excited chromoelectric flux-tubes is performed in an harmonic oscillator approximation and applied to predict the dynamics of all JPC low-lying gluonic excitations of mesons (hybrids). Widths, branching ratios and production dynamics of some recently discovered JPC = 1− +,0− + and 1−− mesons are found to be in remarkable agreement with these results. We introduce the selection rules that can be used to understand the systematics of numerical decay calculations and we find possible significant breaking of these rules for specific channels that may enable enhanced production and detection of hybrids.

The large $Γ_D^*D̅^*$ and $Γ_D^*D̅$ refute the expectation of the flux tube model that the decay modes of two $S$-wave mesons are disfavored and that decay modes with two spatially identical particles such as $D^*D̅^*$ is prohibited [ref] .

A folklore has developed, largely following from models in which the hybrid decay proceeds by the breaking of an oscillating tube of gluonic flux or through conversion of a constituent gluon to a $qq̅$ pair [ref] , where decays featuring only the lightest hadrons are suppressed, such as $π_1 →ηπ, η' π, ρπ$, while decays which include a more excited hadron are prominent, such as $π_1 →b_1 π$.
