Possibility of searching for $B_{c}^{\ast}$ ${\to}$ $B_{u,d,s}V$, $B_{u,d,s}P$ decays

Abstract

The $B_{c}^{\ast}$ ${\to}$ $B_{u,d,s}V$, $B_{u,d,s}P$ decays are investigated with the QCD factorization approach, where $V$ and $P$ denote the ground $SU(3)$ vector and pseudoscalar mesons, respectively. The $B_{c}^{\ast}$ ${\to}$ $B_{u,d,s}$ transition form factors are calculated with the Wirbel-Stech-Bauer model. It is found that branching ratios for the color-favored and Cabibbo-favored $B_{c}^{\ast}$ ${\to}$ $B_{s}ρ$, $B_{s}π$ decays can reach up to ${\cal O}(10^{-7})$, which might be measurable in the future LHC experiments.
