Motivated by systematic observations of $ B_c $ decays at LHCb, we analyze $B_c^+ \to J/\psi (A, T)$ decays (where $A$ denotes axial-vector mesons $a_1(1260)^+$, $b_1(1235)^+$, and $T$ denotes tensor mesons $a_2(1320)^+$, $K_2^*(1430)^+$)…
The hadronic decays $B\to J/\psi K(K^*)$ are interesting because experimentally they are the only color-suppressed modes which have been measured, and theoretically they are calculable by QCD factorization even the emitted meson $J\psi$ is…
