Abstract

For top quark decays into heavy quark mesons Υ\Upsilon and Bˉc\bar{B}_c^* , a complete calculation to the leading order both in QCD coupling constant αs\alpha_s and in vv, the typical velocity of the heavy quarks inside the mesons, is performed. Relatons between the top quark mass and the decay branching ratios are studied. Comparion with the results which are obtained by using the quark frangmentation functions is also discussed. The branching ratios are consistent (within a factor of 232\sim 3 ) with that obtained using fragmentation functions at mt150m_t\sim 150 GeV.
