The experimentally known $B_c$ states are all below open bottom-charm threshold, which experience three main decay modes, and all induced by weak interaction. In this work, we investigate the mass spectrum and strong decays of the $B_c(3S)$ states, which just above the threshold, in the Bethe-Salpeter formalism and $^3P_0$ model. The numerical estimation gives $M(B_c(3^1S_0))=7273 {rm MeV}$, $M(B_c^*(3^3S_1))=7304 {rm MeV}$, $Gammaleft(B_c(3^1S_0)to B^*Dright)=26.02^{+2.33}_{-2.21} {rm MeV}$, $Gammaleft(B_c^*(3^3S_1)to BDright)=3.39^{+0.27}_{-0.26} {rm MeV}$, $Gammaleft(B_c^*(3^3S_1)to B^*Dright)=14.77^{+1.40}_{-1.33} {rm MeV}$ and $Gammaleft(B_c^*(3^3S_1)to BD^*right)=6.14^{+0.58}_{-0.54} {rm MeV}$. Compared with previous studies in non-relativistic approximation, our results indicate that the relativistic effects are notable in $B_c(3S)$ exclusive strong decays. According to the results, we suggest to find the $B_c(3S)$ states in their hadronic decays to $B$ and $D$ mesons in experiment, like the LHCb.

We study the semileptonic decays of $B_c$ meson to S-wave charmonium states in the framework of relativistic independent quark model based on an average flavor-independent confining potential $U(r)$ in the scalar-vector harmonic form $U(r)=frac{1}{2}(1+gamma^0)(ar^2+V_0)$, where ($a$, $V_0$) are the potential parameters.The form factors for $B_c^+to eta_c /psi e^+ u_e$ transitions are studied in the physical kinematic range. Our predicted branching ratios (BR) for transitions to ground state charmonia are found comparatively large $sim $ $10^{-2}$, compared to those for transitions to radially excited 2S and 3S states. Like all other mpdel predictions, our predicted BR are obtained in the hierarchy: BR($B_c^+to eta_c /psi (3S)$) $<$ BR($B_c^+to eta_c/ psi (2S)$) $<$ BR($B_c^+to eta_c /psi (1S)$). The longitudinal ($Gamma_L$) and transverse polarization ($Gamma_T$) for $B_c to psi(ns)$ decay modes are predicted in the small and large $q^2$ - region as well as in the whole physical region. The ratios for such transitions are obtained $frac {Gamma_L}{Gamma_T} < 1$ throughout the kinematic range which means the $B_c^+$ meson transitions to vector meson charmonium states take place predominantly in transverse polarization mode. The theoretical predictions on these transitions could be tested in the on-going and forthcoming experiments at LHCb.
Within the framework of dispersion theory, we analyze the dipion transitions between the lightest $Upsilon$ states, $Upsilon(nS) rightarrow Upsilon(mS) pipi$ with $m < n leq 3$. In particular, we consider the possible effects of two intermediate bottomoniumlike exotic states $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$. The $pipi$ rescattering effects are taken into account in a model-independent way using dispersion theory. We confirm that matching the dispersive representation to the leading chiral amplitude alone cannot reproduce the peculiar two-peak $pipi$ mass spectrum of the decay $Upsilon(3S) rightarrow Upsilon(1S) pipi$. The existence of the bottomoniumlike $Z_b$ states can naturally explain this anomaly. We also point out the necessity of a proper extraction of the coupling strengths for the $Z_b$ states to $Upsilon(nS)pi$, which is only possible if a Flatte-like parametrization is used in the data analysis for the $Z_b$ states.
The recent observation by the D0 collaboration of a narrow structure X(5568) consisting of four different quark flavors bdus, has not been confirmed by LHCb. More data and dedicated analyses are needed to cover a larger mass range. In the tightly bound diquark model, we estimate the lightest bdus, 0^+ tetraquark at a mass of about 5770 MeV, approximately 200 MeV above the reported X(5568), and just 7 MeV below the B Kbar threshold. The charged tetraquark is accompanied by I=1 and I=0 neutral partners almost degenerate in mass. A bdus, S-wave, 1^+ quartet at 5820 MeV is implied as well. In the charm sector, cdus, 0^+ and 1^+ tetraquarks are predicted at 2365 MeV and 2501 MeV, about 40-50 MeV heavier than D_{s0}(2317) and D_{s1}(2460). bdus tetraquarks can be searched in the hadronic debris of a jet initiated by a b. However, some of them may also be produced in B_c decays. The proposed discovery modes of S-wave tetraquarks are B_c --> X_{b0} + pi with the subsequent decays X_{b0} --> B_s + pi, giving rise to final states such as B_s pi^+ pi^0. We also emphasize the importance of B_c decays as a source of bound hidden charm tetraquarks, such as B_c --> X(3872) + pi.
Recently, many new excited states of heavy mesons, especially the radially excited states, are discovered. The study of the production processes of these states from the ground b-flavored mesons is of interest. In this paper, we use the improved Bethe-Salpeter method to study the semi-leptonic and non-leptonic decays of $B$, $B_s$, and $B_c$ mesons, where the final states are focused on the radial excited $2S$ and $3S$ states. We find that many channels have branching ratios up to $10^{-4}$, which are within the detection accuracy of current experiments.
We study the CP violation in two-body nonleptonic decays of $B_c$ meson. We concentrate on the decay channels which contain at least one excited heavy meson in the final states. Specifically, the following channels are considered: $B_cto cbar c(2S, 2P)+bar cq(1S, 1P)$, $B_cto cbar c(1S)+bar cq(2S, 2P)$, $B_cto cbar c(1P)+bar cq(2S)$, $B_cto cbar c(1D)+bar cq(1S, 1P)$, and $B_cto cbar c(3S)+bar cq(1S)$. The improved Bethe-Salpeter method is applied to calculate the hadronic transition matrix element. Our results show that some decay modes have large branching ratios, which is of the order of $10^{-3}$. The CP violation effect in $B_c rightarrow eta_c(1S)+D(2S)$, $B_c rightarrow eta_c(1S)+D_0^{*}(2P)$, and $B_c rightarrow J/psi+D^{*}(2S)$ are most likely to be found. If the detection precision of the CP asymmetry in such channels can reach the $3sigma$ level, at least $10^7$ $B_c$ events are needed.
