Study of Υ(nS)→BcρΥ(nS)→Bcρ and BcK∗BcK∗ decays within the QCD factorization
Abstract
Motivated by the heavy-flavor experiments at running Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and upgrading SuperKEKB, which provide abundant ΥΥ data samples, the tree-dominated Υ(nS)→BcρΥ(nS)→Bcρ and BcK∗BcK∗ (n =1, 2, 3) weak decays are studied within the framework of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) factorization. The QCD corrections to the longitudinal and transverse amplitudes are evaluated at next-to-leading order, and the branching fractions and polarization fractions are predicted. Numerically, the Υ(nS)→BcρΥ(nS)→Bcρ decays have relatively large branching fractions at the order of 𝒪(10−10) and are in the scope of the LHC and SuperKEKB/Belle-II experiments.
