The b quark fragmentation fractions at LHCb and meson decays with heavy quark spectators
Abstract
We study the current estimates of Bcâ BsÏ to extract the fragmentation fraction fc/ fs at the LHCb. A rather robust estimate of Br(Bcâ BsÏ) based on factorization and lattice results for the form factor gives fc/ fsâ¼ 0.056 with a 16% error. We also revisit the extraction of fs/ fd using Bâ DÏ instead of the theoretical cleaner but more suppressed channel Bâ DK . We also find a tension on the predictions of Br(Bcâ J/ ÏÏ) and Br(Bcâ BsÏ) considering the measurements of these modes at LHCb, and find that, within a 23% uncertainty, only the lower end of the current prediction range Br(Bcâ J/ Ï) â¼ 0.4 % - 1.7 % would be consistent with the LHCb measurements.
