Hadronic B_c decays as a test of B_c cross section

Abstract

This paper focuses on disagreement between theoretical predictions and experimental results of the production properties of Bc meson. Hadronic decays of Bc are used to separate predictions of production cross section and predictions of branching ratio. The branching ratios of Bc decays to J/psi + πand to J/psi + 3πare also presented.
