Branching ratio and CP violation of $B_c\to DK$ decays in the perturbative QCD approach

Abstract

In this paper, we calculate the branching ratio and direct CP asymmetry parameter of $B_c^{\pm }\to D^0{K}^{\pm }$ in the framework of perturbative QCD approach based on $k_T$ factorization. Besides the usual factorizable diagrams, both non-factorizable and annihilation type contributions are taken into account. We find that (a) the branching ratio is at the order of $10^{-5}$; (b) the tree annihilation diagrams and the penguin diagrams dominate the total contribution; and (c) the direct CP asymmetry is about 7%, which can be tested in the Large Hadron Collider beauty experiments (LHC-b) at CERN.
