Abstract

Decays of ground state BcB_{c}-meson BcJ/ψ+nπB_{c}\to J/\psi+n\pi are considered. Using existing parametrizations for BcJ/ψB_{c}\to J/\psi form-factors and WnπW^{*}\to n\pi spectral functions we calculate branching fractions and transferred momentum distributions of BcJ/ψ+nπB_{c}\to J/\psi+n\pi decays for n=1,2,3,4n=1,2,3,4. Inclusive decays BcJ/ψ+uˉdB_{c}\to J/\psi+\bar{u}d and polarization asymmetries of final charmonium are also investigated. Presented in our article results can be used to study form-factors of BcJ/ψB_{c}\to J/\psi transitions, π\pi-meson system spectral functions and give the opportunity to check the factorization theorem.
