We present an update of our lattice QCD determination of the Bc→J/ψ vector and axial-vector form factors, including new results for the tensor form factors. We use the Highly Improved Staggered Quark action for all valence quarks, together with the second generation MILC nf=2+1+1 HISQ gluon field configurations. This calculation includes two additional ensembles, one with physically light up and down quarks and a≈0.06fm and one with a≈0.03fm on which we are able to reach the physical bottom quark mass. Our calculation uses nonperturbatively renormalised current operators and covers the full kinematical range of the decay. Our physical-continuum extrapolation utilises the full dispersive parameterisation for Bc→J/ψ.
