A search for decays of Bc+ mesons to two charm mesons is performed for the first time using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb^−1, collected by the LHCb experiment in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The decays considered are Bc+ → D(∗)+(s) anti-D(∗)0 and Bc+ → D(∗)+(s) D(∗)0, which are normalised to high-yield B+ → D+(s) anti-D0 decays. No evidence for a signal is found and limits are set on twelve Bc+ decay modes.

Abstract

A search for decays of Bc+ mesons to two charm mesons is performed for the first time using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb^−1, collected by the LHCb experiment in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The decays considered are Bc+ → D(∗)+(s) anti-D(∗)0 and Bc+ → D(∗)+(s) D(∗)0, which are normalised to high-yield B+ → D+(s) anti-D0 decays. No evidence for a signal is found and limits are set on twelve Bc+ decay modes.
