The form factors of the semileptonic $\chi_{b2}(1P)\rightarrow B_{c}\bar{l}\nu$ decay are calculated using the QCD sum rule approach. The results obtained are then used to estimate the decay widths of this transition in all lepton channels.…

We present first lattice QCD results for semileptonic form factors for the decays $B_c \to \eta_c l \nu$ and $B_c \to J/\psi l \nu$ over the full $q^2$ range, using both improved non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) and fully relativistic (HISQ)…
