    Rare decays hβ†’ZVh\to Z V with VV denoting the narrow ccΛ‰c\bar{c} or bbΛ‰b\bar{b} resonances, such as J/Ξ¨J/\Psi or Ξ₯\Upsilon states, have been analyzed. Within the standard model, these channels may proceed through the tree-level transition hβ†’ZZβˆ—h\to ZZ^* with the virtual Zβˆ—β†’VZ^*\to V, and also loop-induced process hβ†’ZΞ³βˆ—h\to Z\gamma^*, followed by Ξ³βˆ—β†’V\gamma^*\to V. Our analysis shows that, for the bottomonium final states, the decay rate of hβ†’ZΞ₯h\to Z \Upsilon from the loop-induced process is small and the former transition gives the dominant contribution; while, for the charmonium final states, Ξ“(hβ†’ZJ/Ξ¨)\Gamma(h\to Z J/\Psi) and Ξ“(hβ†’ZΞ¨(2S))\Gamma(h\to Z\Psi(2S)) induced by hβ†’ZΞ³βˆ—β†’ZVh\to Z\gamma^* \to Z V could be comparable to the contribution given by the tree-level hβ†’ZZβˆ—β†’ZVh\to ZZ^*\to Z V transition.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure
