The $Υ(nS)$ ${\to}$ $B_{c}^{\ast}π$, $B_{c}^{\ast}K$ decays with perturbative QCD approach

Abstract

Besides the traditional strong and electromagnetic decay modes, $Υ(nS)$ meson can also decay through the weak interactions within the standard model of elementary particle. With anticipation of copious $Υ(nS)$ data samples at the running LHC and coming SuperKEKB experiments, the two-body nonleptonic bottom-changing $Υ(nS)$ ${\to}$ $B_{c}^{\ast}π$, $B_{c}^{\ast}K$ decays ($n$ $=$ 1, 2, 3) are investigated with perturbative QCD approach firstly. The absolute branching ratios for $Υ(nS)$ ${\to}$ $B_{c}^{\ast}π$ and $B_{c}^{\ast}K$ decays are estimated to reach up to about $10^{-10}$ and $10^{-11}$, respectively, which might possibly be measured by the future experiments.
