Semileptonic B_c decays to P-wave charmonia in the light-cone QCDSR

Abstract

B_c mesons are laboratories for probing heavy quark physics. Furthermore, they decay into charmonia and hence their decays can be used to analyze possible exotic charmonium. In this work, the semileptonic decays of B_c mesons into P wave charmonia are analysed using light cone QCD sum rules (LCSR). The distributions amplitudes for the charmonia are taken from a quark model computation. The obtained decay rates for the ground state and excited charmonia are compared with the results found in the literature.
