Abstract

It is shown that in the decays Bc(2P)BcγhardB_c(2P)\to B_c^* \gamma^\mathrm{hard}, Bc(3P)BcγhardB_c(3P)\to B_c^* \gamma^\mathrm{hard} and Bc(2S)Bc+π+πB_c(2S)\to B_c^* +\pi^+\pi^- followed by the decay BcBc+γsoftB_c^*\to B_c +\gamma^\mathrm{soft} the loss of the soft photon γsoft\gamma^\mathrm{soft} do not wash out peaks from the initial excitations. The relative yields of BcB_c^*, 2P-wave, and 3P-wave states of BcB_c meson at LHC are estimated as function of transverse energy of emitted photon γhard\gamma^\mathrm{hard}. It is pointed out, that the decays Bc(2S)Bc(Bc)+π+πB_c(2S) \to B_c(B_c^*)+\pi^+\pi^- could provide a new information about a σ\sigma resonance nature.
