Abstract

In this work, we investigate angular observables such as the longitudinal polarization of charged leptons, τ\tau-polarization, and forward-backward asymmetry in semileptonic BcB_c decays. Additionally, we provide predictions for lepton flavor violating observables, the R\mathcal{R} ratios in the decay channels Bcηc(J/ψ)lνlB_c \rightarrow \eta_c (J/\psi) l \nu_l and BcD(D)lνlB_c \rightarrow D (D^*) l \nu_l across the entire q2q^2 region. Our analysis is conducted within the Relativistic Independent Quark Model, focusing on the potential model-dependent aspects of these observables. We compare our model predictions with existing lattice predictions, highlighting the strong applicability of our framework in describing BcB_c decays. Considering the forthcoming experimental upgrades and the Run 3 data results on BcB_c meson decays, rapid confirmation of these quantities could indicate significant discoveries of physics beyond the Standard Model. This will open up new avenues for understanding the complex flavor dynamics in heavy meson decays.
