Light hadron production in Bc Bs(*)+X decays
Abstract
The article is devoted to Bc->Bs+n pi, Bc->Bs*+n pi decays with n=1, 2, 3, 4. In the framework of factorization theorem the branching fractions of these processes can be written as convolution of hard part, describing Bc->Bs W, Bc->Bs* W vertices, and spectral functions, that correspond to transition of virtual W-boson into a final pi-meson system. These functions were obtained from the fit of experimental data on τ-lepton decay and electron-positron annihilation. Using different sets of Bc->Bs decay form-factors we present branching fractions and distributions over the invariant mass of the final pi-meson system.
