Decays and Lifetime of B_c in QCD Sum Rules

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

In the framework of three-point QCD sum rules, the form factors for the semileptonic decays of B_c^+ -> B_s(B_s^*) l \nu are calculated with account for the Coulomb-like alpha_s/v-corrections in the heavy quarkonium. The generalized relations due to the spin symmetry of HQET/NRQCD for the form factors are derived at the recoil momentum close to zero. The nonleptonic decays are studied using the assumption on the factorization. The B_c meson lifetime is estimated by summing up the dominating exclusive modes in the c -> s transition combining the current calculations with the previous analysis of b -> c decays in the sum rules of QCD and NRQCD.
