Analyzing the semileptonic and nonleptonic B c → J/ψ, η c decays by Aritra Biswas, Soumitra Nandi, Shantanu Sahoo

“…In addition, we have estimated the radial wave functions ψ B c R $$ {\psi}_{B_c}^R $$ (0), ψ J / ψ R $$ {\psi}_{J/\psi}^R $$ (0) and ψ η c R $$ {\psi}_{\eta_c}^R $$ (0) at small Bc J/ψ ηc quark-antiquark distances from the available information on the form factors from lattice, the lattice inputs on the decay constants f J/ψ , f η c $$ {f}_{\eta_c} $$ , f B c $$ {f}_{B_c} $$ and experimental data on radiative and rare decays of the J/ψ and η c mesons. To do so, we choose the theory framework of non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) effective theory. …”
