چکیده

Using approximately 1.3 fb(-1) of data collected by the D0 detector between 2002 and 2006, we measure the lifetime of the Bc+/- meson in the Bc-/+-->J/psimicro+/-+X final state. A simultaneous unbinned likelihood fit to the J/psi+micro invariant mass and lifetime distributions yields a signal of 881+/-80(stat) candidates and a lifetime measurement of tau(Bc+/-)=0.448(-0.036)(+0.038)(stat)+/-0.032(syst) ps.

Combination of Colour Favoured and Colour

In this research we described the effective Hamiltonian theory and applied this theory to the calculation of current-current (Q1,2) and QCD penguin (Q3,…,6) c quark decay rates. We calculated the decay rates of semileptonic and hadronic of charm quark in the effective Hamiltonian theory. We investigated the decay rates of D meson decays according to Spectator Quark Model (SQM) for the calculati...

Effects of final state interaction in B^+_c to D^0 K^+ decay

In this paper, the decay of Bc+ meson, which consists of two b and c heavy quarks, into the Do and K+  mesons was studied. Given that the experimental branching ratio for this decay was within the range of 3.75*10-5 to 11.16*10-5; it was decided to calculate the theoretical branching ratio by applying the final state interaction (FSI) through the T and cross-section channels. In this process, b...

Semileptonic and non - leptonic B c decays

We make predictions for the exclusive semileptonic and the non-leptonic decay widths of the Bc meson. We evaluate the Bc semileptonic form factors for different decay channels in a relativistic model, and use factorization to obtain the non-leptonic decay widths. The recent discovery of the Bc meson by the CDF Collaboration [1] attracted a great deal of attention. The Bc meson is very interesti...

Decays of the Bc Meson in a Relativistic Quark–Meson Model

The semileptonic decay form factors of the double heavy Bc meson provide a unique opportunity to study the strong interactions between two heavy quarks. A fully relativistic model, with effective non-local quark-meson interactions, is used to compute semileptonic decay form factors, for both the Bc and a wide range of other heavy-light mesons. Using these form factors predictions for decay rate...

We analyze the radiative leptonic Bc decay mode: Bc → lνγ (l = e, μ) using a QCD-inspired constituent quark model. The prediction: B(Bc → lνγ) ≃ 7 × 10 makes this channel experimentally promising in view of the large number of Bc mesons which are expected to be produced at the future hadron facilities.

We analyze the radiative leptonic Bc decay mode: Bc → `νγ (` = e, μ) using a QCD-inspired constituent quark model. The prediction: B(Bc → `νγ) ' 3× 10−5 confirms that this channel is experimentally promising in view of the large number of Bc mesons which are expected to be produced at the future hadron facilities.
