Abstract

This study investigates the decay modes of the BcB_c meson, focusing on semileptonic and nonleptonic decay into S and P wave charmonia. The primary objective is to extract the shape parameter of the BcB_{c} meson distribution amplitude through a data-driven approach, utilizing the lattice results on Bcηc,J/ψB_{c}\rightarrow\eta_{c},J/\psi semileptonic form factors and yielding an estimate of ωBc=0.998(34){\omega_B}_c = 0.998(34) for the same. We use the form factors derived from the modified perturbative QCD framework in the analysis. This result and various other inputs on the radiative decays of the P wave charmonia enable us to estimate the q2q^2 shapes of the Bcχc0,χc1B_{c}\rightarrow\chi_{c0},\chi_{c1} and hch_{c} form factors using pole expansion parametrization. Using these results, we have obtained predictions of LFUV observables R(χc0)=0.169(11)R(\chi_{c0})=0.169(11), R(χc1)=0.126(2)R(\chi_{c1})=0.126(2) and R(hc)=0.113(3)R(h_{c})=0.113(3). Finally, we have presented predictions for branching ratios of some nonleptonic decay modes of the BcB_{c} meson into S and P wave charmonia in the same modified perturbative QCD framework.
