The two-body hadronic decays of $B_c$ meson in the perturbative QCD approach: A short review

Abstract

Along with the running of Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located at CERN in November 2009, a large number of data samples of $B_c$ meson have been collected and some hadronic $B_c$ decay modes have been measured by the LHC experiments. In view of the special and important roles of $B_c$ meson decays playing in the heavy flavor sector, we here give a short review on the status of two body hadronic decays $B_c\to M_1{M}_2$ at both experimental and theoretical aspects. For the theoretical progresses, specifically, we will show lots of theoretical studies on two body hadronic $B_c$ decays involving pseudoscalar, vector, scalar, axial-vector, even tensor meson(s) in the final states by employing the perturbative QCD (pQCD) factorization approach. We will present a general analysis about the two-body hadronic decays of the heavy $B_c$ meson and also provide some expectations for the future developments.
