We calculate the electromagnetic (EM) decay widths of the Bc±(2S) meson, which is observed recently by the ATLAS Collaboration. The main EM decay channels of this particle are 13S1γ and 1Pγ, which, in literature, are estimated to have the branching ratio of about 1/10. In this work, we get the partial decay widths: Γ(21S0→13S1γ)=0.192 keV, Γ(21S0→1P1γ)=2.24 keV and Γ(21S0→1P1′γ)=11.4 keV. In the calculation, the instantaneous approximated Bethe-Salpeter method is used. For the P-wave Bc mesons, the wave functions are given by mixing the 3P1 and 1P1 states. Within the Mandelstam formalism, the decay amplitude is given, which includes the relativistic corrections.
