Production of $B_c$ or ${\bar{B}}_c$ meson and its excited states via $\bar{t}$-quark or $t$-quark decays

Abstract

The production of $(b\bar{c})$-quarkonium (${\bar{B}}_c$ meson and its excited states) or $(c\bar{b})$-quarkonium ($B_c$ meson and its excited states) via top quark $t$ or top anti-quark $\bar{t}$ decays, $t\to (b\bar{c})+c+W^{+}$ or $\bar{t}\to (c\bar{b})+\bar{c}+W^{-}$, respectively is studied within the framework of NRQCD. In addition to the production of the two color-singlet $S$-wave states $|(b\bar{c}){(}^1{S}_0{)}_1>$ or $|(c\bar{b}){(}^1{S}_0{)}_1>$ and $|(b\bar{c}){(}^3{S}_1{)}_1>$ or $|(c\bar{b}){(}^3{S}_1{)}_1>$, the production of the $P$-wave excited $(b\bar{c})$ or $(c\bar{b})$ states, i.e. the four color-singlet $P$-wave states $|(b\bar{c}){(}^1{P}_1{)}_1>$ or $|(c\bar{b}){(}^1{P}_1{)}_1>$, and $(b\bar{c}){(}^3{P}_J{)}_1>$ or $(c\bar{b}){(}^3{P}_J{)}_1>$ (with $J=(1,2,3)$), is also studied. According to the velocity scaling rule of NRQCD, for the production of $P$-wave excited states the contributions from the two color-octet components $|(b\bar{c}){(}^1{S}_0{)}_8>$ or $|(c\bar{b}){(}^1{S}_0{)}_8>$ and $|(b\bar{c}){(}^3{S}_1{)}_8>$ or $|(c\bar{b}){(}^3{S}_1{)}_8>$ are also taken into account. We quantitatively discuss the possibility and the advantages in experimental studies of $B_c$ or ${\bar{B}}_c$ meson and its excited states via the indirect production at LHC in high luminosity runs and at LHC possible upgraded versions such as SLHC, DLHC, TLHC etc. in future.
