Abstract

Using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^−1 collected with the LHCb detector, seven decay modes of the Bc+ meson into a J/ψ or ψ(2S) meson and three charged hadrons, kaons or pions, are studied. The decays Bc+ → (ψ(2S) → J/ψ π+ π−)π+, Bc+ → ψ(2S) π+ π− π+, Bc+ → J/ψ K+ π− π+ and Bc+ → J/ψ K+ K− K+ are observed for the first time, and evidence for the Bc+ → ψ(2S) K+ K− π+ decay is found, where J/ψ and ψ(2S) mesons are reconstructed in their dimuon decay modes. The ratios of branching fractions between the different Bc+ decays are reported as well as the fractions of the decays proceeding via intermediate resonances. The results largely support the factorisation approach used for a theoretical description of the studied decays.
