Two-particle decays of B_c meson into charmonium states
The factorization of hard and soft contributions into the hadronic decays of
B_c meson at large recoils is explored in order to evaluate the decay rates
into the S, P and D-wave charmonia associated with rho and pi. The constraints
of approach applicability and uncertainties of numerical estimates are
discussed. The mode with the J/psi in the final state is evaluated taking into
account the cascade radiative electromagnetic decays of excited P-wave states,
that enlarges the branching ratio by 20-25%.Comment: 13 pages, LaTeX axodraw-style, 1 figure, 2 table
Gold-plated Mode of CP-Violation in Decays of B_c Meson from QCD Sum Rules
The model-independent method based on the triangle ideology is implemented to
extract the CKM-matrix angle gamma in the decays of doubly heavy long-lived
meson B_c. We analyze a color structure of diagrams and conditions to
reconstruct two reference-triangles by tagging the flavor and CP eigenstates of
D^0 meson in the fixed exclusive channels. The characteristic branching ratios
are evaluated in the framework of QCD sum rules.Comment: 11 pages, RevTeX4 file, 4 eps-figure
Prospects for the Bc Studies at LHCb
We discuss the motivations and perspectives for the studies of the mesons of
the (bc) family at LHCb. The description of production and decays at LHC
energies is given in details. The event yields, detection efficiencies, and
background conditions for several Bc decay modes at LHCb are estimated.Comment: 20 pages, 5 eps-figure
Semileptonic transition in three--point QCD sum rules and HQET with gluon condensate corrections
Taking into account the gluon condensate contributions, the form factors of
the semileptonic transition with are
calculated in the framework of the three point QCD sum rules. The heavy quark
effective theory limit of the form factors are also computed. The relevant
total decay width as well as the branching ratio are evaluated and compared
with the predictions of the other non-perturbative approaches.Comment: 27 Pages, 4 Figures and 4 Table
