Abstract

To the leading order, the radiative leptonic decays BcγνˉB_c \to \gamma \ell \bar \nu (=e,μ \ell=e, \mu) are studied carefully. In the study, a non-relativistic constituent quark model and the effective Lagrangian for the heavy flavour decays are used. As a result, the branching ratios turn out to be of the orders of 10510^{-5} for BcγμνˉB_c \to \gamma \mu \bar \nu or for BcγeνˉB_c \to \gamma e \bar \nu . Based on this study, we point out the decays being accessible experimentally at the future LHC, and the possibility to determine the decay constant fBcf_{B_c} through the radiative decays.
