Abstract

We calculate the inclusive decays BXsψB\to X_s\psi and BXsηcB\to X_s\eta_c using factorization assumption. To investigate the bound state effect of the decaying B meson in these inclusive decays we take into account the motion of the bb quark using a Gaussian momentum distribution model. The resulting correction to free quark decay approximation is around 6% at most. Utilizing a potential model evaluation of the ratio of the decay constants fηc2/fψ2f^2_{\eta_c}/f^2_\psi, it is shown that the ratio R=Γ(BXsηc)/Γ(BXsψ)R=\Gamma (B\to X_s\eta_c )/\Gamma (B\to X_s\psi ) can be used as a possible test of factorization assumption.
