The semileptonic decays of the B_c meson

Abstract

We study the semileptonic transitions B_c to η_c, J/ψ, D, D^*, B, B^*, B_s, B_s^* in the framework of a relativistic constituent quark model. We use experimental data on leptonic J/ψdecay, lattice and QCD sum rule results on leptonic B_c decay, and on radiative η_c transitions to adjust the quark model parameters. We compute all form factors of the above semileptonic B_c-transitions and give predictions for various semileptonic B_c decay modes including their τ-modes when they are kinematically accessible. The implications of heavy quark symmetry for the semileptonic decays are discussed and are shown to be manifest in our explicit relativistic quark model calculation. A comparison of our results with the results of other calculations is performed.
