Analysis of the form factors of $B_c\rightarrow D^{(*)}$, $D_{s}^{(*)}$ and their nonleptonic decays

Abstract

This article is devoted to calculating the form factors of $B_c \to D^{*}$, $B_c \to D$, $B_c \to D_s^{*}$ and $B_c \to D_s$ transitions in the framework of three-point QCD sum rules. At the QCD side, the contributions of $\langle\overline{q}q\rangle$, $\langle\overline{q}g_{s}σGq\rangle$, $\langle g_{s}^{2}G^{2}\rangle$, $\langle f^{3}G^{3}\rangle$ and $\langle\overline{q}q\rangle \langle g_{s}^{2}G^{2}\rangle$ are taken into account. With the obtained form factors, the decay widths and branching ratios of several two-body nonleptonic decay processes $B_c \to η_c D^{*}$, $η_c D$, $ J/ψD^{*}$, $ J/ψD$, $η_c D_s^{*}$, $η_c D_s$, $J/ψD_s^{*}$ and $J/ψD_s$ are predicted. These results about the form factors and decay properties of $B_c$ meson provide useful information for us to study the heavy-quark dynamics.
