In this paper, we study the lepton number violation processes of $B_c$ meson induced by possible doubly-charged scalars. Both the three-body decay channels and the four-body decay channels are considered. For the former, $Brtimesleft(frac{s_Delta h_{ij}}{M_Delta^2}right)^{-2}$ is of the order of $10^{-7}sim 10^{-9}$, and for the later channels, $Brtimesleft(frac{s_Delta h_{ij}}{M_Delta^2}right)^{-2}$ is of the order of $10^{-12}sim 10^{-20}$, where $s_Delta$, $h_{ij}$, $M_Delta$ are the constants related to the doubly-charged boson.

The phenomenology of the so-called X, Y and Z hadronic resonances is hard to reconcile with standard charmonium or bottomonium interpretations. It has been suggested that some of these new hadrons can possibly be described as tightly bound tetraquark states and/or as loosely bound two-meson molecules. In the present paper we focus on the hypothetical existence of flavored, doubly charmed, tetraquarks. Such states might also carry double electric charge, and in this case, if discovered, they could univocally be interpreted in terms of compact tetraquarks. Flavored tetraquarks are also amenable to lattice studies as their interpolating operators do not overlap with ordinary meson ones. We show that doubly charmed tetraquarks could significantly be produced at LHC from B_c or Xi_bc heavy baryons.
In this work, we discuss exclusive semileptonic $B_c$-meson decays: $B_cto eta_c(J/psi)l u$ and $B_cto D(D^*)l u$ in the framework of the relativistic independent quark(RIQ) model based on an average flavor independent confining potential in equally mixed scalar-vector harmonic form. We calculate the invariant form factors representing decay amplitudes from the overlapping integrals of meson wave functions derivable in the RIQ model. To evaluate the lepton mass effects in the semileptonic decays, we first study the $q^2$-dependence of the form factors in the accessible kinematic range of $q^2$ involved in the decay process in its $e^-$ and $tau^-$ mode separately. Similar studies on helicity amplitudes, $q^2-$spectra for different helicity contributions, and total $q^2$-spectra for each decay process are carried out separately in their $e^-$ and $tau^-$ modes. We predict the decay rates/ branching fractions, forward-backward asymmetry, and the asymmetry parameter in reasonable agreement with other model predictions, which can hopefully be tested in future experiments at the Tevatron and LHC. We also predict the observable $R$ which corresponds to the ratio of branching fractions for the decay process in its $e^-$ mode to its corresponding value in the $tau^-$ mode. Our results are comparable to another standard model(SM) predictions which highlight the failure of the lepton flavor universality hinting at new physics beyond SM for the explanation of the observed deviation of observable $R$ value from the corresponding SM predictions.
Recent studies of properties and decays of the $B_c^+$ meson by the LHC experiments are presented. Mass and lifetime measurements are discussed and some of the many new observed decays are reported.
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.
A phenomenological analysis of the scalar meson f0(980) is performed that relies on the quasi-two body decays D and Ds -> f0(980)P, with P=pi, K. The two-body branching ratios are deduced from experimental data on D or Ds -> pi pi pi, K Kbar pi and from the f0(980) -> pi+ pi- and f0(980) -> K+ K- branching fractions. Within a covariant quark model, the scalar form factors F0(q2) for the transitions D and Ds -> f0(980) are computed. The weak D decay amplitudes, in which these form factors enter, are obtained in the naive factorization approach assuming a quark-antiquark state for the scalar and pseudoscalar mesons. They allow to extract information on the f0(980) wave function in terms of u-ubar, d-dbar and s-sbar pairs as well as on the mixing angle between the strange and non-strange components. The weak transition form factors are modeled by the one-loop triangular diagram using two different relativistic approaches: covariant light-front dynamics and dispersion relations. We use the information found on the f0(980) structure to evaluate the scalar and vector form factors in the transitions D and Ds -> f0(980), as well as to make predictions for B and Bs -> f0(980), for the entire kinematically allowed momentum range of q2.
