## TL;DR

This paper calculates the branching ratios of specific B meson decays using the perturbative QCD approach, providing predictions that align with recent measurements and can be tested by future experiments to understand QCD dynamics.

## Contribution

It offers the first pQCD-based predictions for ${B_d}^0 	o J/	heta 	ext{ and } J/	heta'$ decays, aiding in testing the approach's reliability in B meson decay analysis.

## Key findings

- Predicted BR($B_d^0 	o J/	heta 	ext{ and } J/	heta'$) are consistent with experimental data.
- Predictions are testable by upcoming LHC experiments.
- Results support the use of pQCD in describing these decay processes.

## Abstract

Motivated by the very recent measurement of the branching ratio of ${B_d^0} \to J/\psi \eta$ decay, we calculate the branching ratios of ${B_d}^0 \to J/\psi \eta$ and ${B_d}^0 \to J/\Psi \eta'$ decays in the perturbative QCD (pQCD) approach. The pQCD predictions for the branching ratios of considered decays are: $BR(B_d^0 \to J/\Psi \eta) = (1.96 ^{+9.68}_{-0.65}) \times 10^{-6}$, which is consistent with the first experimental measurement within errors; while $BR(B_d^0 \to J/\Psi \eta') = (1.09 ^{+3.76}_{-0.25}) \times 10^{-6}$, very similar with $B_d^0 \to \jpsi \eta$ decay and can be tested by the forthcoming LHC experiments. The measurements of these decay channels may help us to understand the QCD dynamics in the corresponding energy scale, especially the reliability of pQCD approach to these kinds of B meson decays.
