Abstract

We analyze the form factors parametrizing the BcJ/ψ,ηcB_c \to J/\psi, \eta_c matrix elements of the operators in a generalized low-energy bcb \to c semileptonic Hamiltonian. We consider an expansion in nonrelativistic QCD, classifying the heavy quark spin symmetry breaking terms and expressing the form factors in terms of universal functions in a selected kinematical range. Using as an input the lattice QCD results for the BcJ/ψB_c \to J/\psi matrix element of the SM operator, we obtain information on other form factors. The extrapolation to the full kinematical range is also presented.
