Light hadron production in $B_c \to J/\psi+X$ decays

Abstract

Decays of ground state $B_{c}$-meson $B_{c}\to J/\psi+n\pi$ are considered. Using existing parametrizations for $B_{c}\to J/\psi$ form-factors and $W^{*}\to n\pi$ spectral functions we calculate branching fractions and transferred momentum distributions of $B_{c}\to J/\psi+n\pi$ decays for $n=1,2,3,4$. Inclusive decays $B_{c}\to J/\psi+\bar{u}d$ and polarization asymmetries of final charmonium are also investigated. Presented in our article results can be used to study form-factors of $B_{c}\to J/\psi$ transitions, $\pi$-meson system spectral functions and give the opportunity to check the factorization theorem.
