Analysis of $B_c\to \ddot{I}„\hat{I}{½}_{\ddot{I}}„$ at CEPC

Abstract

The precise determination of the $B_c\to \ddot{I}„\hat{I}{½}_{\ddot{I}}„$ branching ratio provides an advantageous opportunity for understanding the electroweak structure of the Standard Model, measuring the CKM matrix element $|V_{cb}|$ and probing new physics models. In this paper, we discuss the potential of measuring the processes of $B_c\to \ddot{I}„\hat{I}{½}_{\ddot{I}}„$ with $\ddot{I}„$ decaying leptonically at the proposed Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC). We conclude that during the $Z$ pole operation, the channel signal can achieve five $\ddot{I}ƒ$ significance with $\sim 10^9$ $Z$ decays, and the signal strength accuracies for $B_c\to \ddot{I}„\hat{I}{½}_{\ddot{I}}„$ can reach around 1% level at the nominal CEPC $Z$ pole statistics of one trillion $Z$ decays assuming the total $B_c\to \ddot{I}„\hat{I}{½}_{\ddot{I}}„$ yield is $3.6\times 10^6$. Our theoretical analysis indicates the accuracy could provide a strong constraint on the general effective Hamiltonian for the $b\to c\ddot{I}„\hat{I}½$ transition. If the total $B_c$ yield can be determined to $\mathcal{O}(1\%)$ level of accuracy in the future, these results also imply $|V_{cb}|$ could be measured up to $\mathcal{O}(1\%)$ level of accuracy.
