Using $pp$ collision data collected by LHCb at center-of-mass energies $sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$, the ratio of the branching fraction of the $B_c^+ rightarrow psi(2S)pi^+$ decay relative to that of the $B_c^+ rightarrow J/psipi^+$ decay is measured to be 0.268 $pm$ 0.032 (stat) $pm$ 0.007 (syst) $pm$ 0.006 (BF). The first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is due to the uncertainties on the branching fractions of the $J/psi rightarrow mu^+mu^-$ and $psi(2S) rightarrow mu^+mu^-$ decays. This measurement is consistent with the previous LHCb result, and the statistical uncertainty is halved.

The decays $B^+rightarrow J/psi 3pi^+ 2pi^-$ and $B^+rightarrow psi(2S) pi^+pi^+pi^-$ are observed for the first time using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0fb^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at the centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The branching fractions relative to that of $B^+ rightarrow psi(2S)K^+$ are measured to be begin{eqnarray*} frac {mathcal{B}left(B^+rightarrow J/psi 3pi^+ 2pi^- right)} {mathcal{B}left(B^+ rightarrow psi(2S)K^+ right)} & = & left(1.88pm0.17pm0.09right)times10^{-2}, frac {mathcal{B}left(B^+rightarrow psi(2S) pi^+pi^+pi^- right)} {mathcal{B}left(B^+ rightarrow psi(2S)K^+ right)} & = & left(3.04pm0.50pm0.26right)times10^{-2}, end{eqnarray*} where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.
A measurement is reported of the ratio of branching fractions $mathcal{R}(J/psi)=mathcal{B}(B_c^+,to,J/psitau^+ u_tau)/mathcal{B}(B_c^+,to,J/psi mu^+ u_mu)$, where the $tau^+$ lepton is identified in the decay mode $tau^+,to,mu^+ u_muoverline{ u}_tau$. This analysis uses a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to 3.0$mathrm{,fb}^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity recorded with the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies $7,mathrm{TeV}$ and $8,mathrm{TeV}$. A signal is found for the decay $B_c^+,to,J/psi tau^+ u_tau$ at a significance of 3 standard deviations, corrected for systematic uncertainty, and the ratio of the branching fractions is measured to be $mathcal{R}(J/psi) = 0.71 pm 0.17 mathrm{,(stat)} pm 0.18mathrm{,(syst)}$. This result lies within 2 standard deviations above the range of existing predictions in the Standard Model.
The decay $B_crightarrow J/psi K^+ K^- pi^+$ is observed for the first time, using proton-proton collisions collected with the LHCb detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3fb$^{-1}$. A signal yield of $78pm14$ decays is reported with a significance of 6.2 standard deviations. The ratio of the branching fraction of $B_c rightarrow J/psi K^+ K^- pi^+$ decays to that of $B_c rightarrow J/psi pi^+$ decays is measured to be $0.53pm 0.10pm0.05$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic.
The decay $B_c^+ to psi(2S)pi^+$ with $psi(2S) to mu^+mu^-$ is observed with a significance of $5.2,sigma$ using $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0,invfb$ collected by the LHCb experiment. The branching fraction of $B_c^+ to psi(2S)pi^+$ decays relative to that of the $B_c^+ to J/psipi^+$ mode is measured to be begin{equation*} frac{mathcal{B}(B_c^+ to psi(2S)pi^+)}{mathcal{B}(B_c^+ to J/psipi^+)} = 0.250 pm 0.068 ,text{stat} pm 0.014 ,text{syst} pm 0.006 ,(mathcal{B}). end{equation*} The last term is the uncertainty on the ratio $mathcal{B}(psi(2S) to mu^+mu^-)/mathcal{B}(J/psi to mu^+mu^-)$.
The ratio of branching fractions $R_{K/pi} equiv mathcal{B}(B_{c}^{+} to J/psi K^{+})/mathcal{B}(B_{c}^{+} to J/psipi^{+})$ is measured with $pp$ collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3${mbox{fb}^{-1}}$. It is found to be $ R_{K/pi} = 0.079pm0.007pm0.003$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. This measurement is consistent with the previous LHCb result, while the uncertainties are significantly reduced.
