Meson dominance implications for the bottomness preserving decays of the B_c^+ meson

TL;DR

This paper uses meson dominance models to predict branching ratios for various weak decays of the B_c^+ meson, especially those preserving bottomness, based on recent LHCb observations.

Contribution

It introduces meson dominance predictions for B_c^+ decays into B_s^0 or B^0, extending understanding of bottomness-preserving decay channels.

Findings

Predicted branching ratios for B_c^+ decays into B_s^0 or B^0

Consistency with recent LHCb observations

Provides a framework for future experimental tests

Abstract

Encouraged by a recent observation of the B_c^+ -> B_s^0 + pi^+ decay by the LHCb collaboration we present the meson dominance predictions for other weak decays of the B_c^+ into B_s^0 or B^0 in the form of branching ratios to the observed decay.
