Abstract

We calculate the electromagnetic (EM) decay widths of the Bc±(2S)B^{\pm}_c(2S) meson, which is observed recently by the ATLAS Collaboration. The main EM decay channels of this particle are 13S1γ1{^3S_1}\gamma and 1Pγ1{P}\gamma, which, in literature, are estimated to have the branching ratio of about 1/101/10. In this work, we get the partial decay widths: Γ(21S013S1γ)=0.192\Gamma(2{^1S_0}\rightarrow 1{^3S_1}\gamma)=0.192 keV, Γ(21S01P1γ)=2.24\Gamma(2{^1S_0}\rightarrow 1{P_1}\gamma) = 2.24 keV and Γ(21S01P1γ)=11.4\Gamma(2{^1S_0}\rightarrow 1{P_1^\prime}\gamma) = 11.4 keV. In the calculation, the instantaneous approximated Bethe-Salpeter method is used. For the PP-wave BcB_c mesons, the wave functions are given by mixing the 3P1^3P_1 and 1P1^1P_1 states. Within the Mandelstam formalism, the decay amplitude is given, which includes the relativistic corrections.
