Abstract

We investigate the weak decays of B_c mesons in Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa-favored and -suppressed modes. We present a detailed analysis of the B_c meson decaying to a vector meson (V) and an axial-vector meson (A) in the final state. We also give the form factors involving the B_c\ensuremath→A transition in the Isgur-Scora-Grinstein-Wise II framework and, consequently, predict the branching ratios of B_c\ensuremath→VA and AA decays.
