Abstract

In this paper, we study the non-leptonic BcJ/ψVB_{c}\to J/\psi V and BcηcVB_{c}^{*}\to\eta_{c}V~(V=ρ,K)(V=\rho\,,K^{*}) weak decays in the framework of QCD factorization. In the evaluation, the form factors are calculated by using the Bauer-Stech-Wirbel model and the light-front quark model, respectively. Besides the longitudinal amplitude, the power-suppressed transverse contributions are also evaluated at next-to-leading order. The predictions for the observables of BcJ/ψVB_{c}\to J/\psi V and BcηcVB_{c}^{*}\to\eta_{c}V decays are presented. We find that the NLO QCD contribution presents about 8% 8\% correction to the branching ratios, and the longitudinal polarization fractions of these decays are at the level of (8090)%(80\sim90)\%. In addition, we suggest direct measurements on some useful ratios, RK/ρ(λ=0)R_{K^{*}/\rho}^{(\lambda=0)} and R~K/ρ(λ=0)\widetilde{R}^{(\lambda=0)}_{K^{*}/\rho}, which are very suitable for test the consistence between theoretical prediction and data because their theoretical uncertainties can be well-controlled.
