Abstract

In the covariant light-front quark model, we investigate the Bchc,χc0,1,2B_c\to h_c, \chi_{c0,1,2} form factors. The form factors are evaluated in space-like kinematic region and are recasted to the physical region by adopting the exponential parametrization. We also study the semileptonic BcB_c decays and find that branching fractions for the Bc(hc,χc0,1,2)lνˉ(l=e,μ)B_c\to (h_c,\chi_{c0,1,2})l\bar\nu (l=e,\mu) decays have the order 10310^{-3} while branching fractions for Bc(hc,χc0,1,2)τνˉτB_c\to (h_c,\chi_{c0,1,2})\tau\bar\nu_\tau are suppressed by one order. These predictions will be tested at the forthcoming hadron colliders.
