Study of $$ {\mathrm{B}}_{\mathrm{c}}^{+}\to \mathrm{J}/\psi {\mathrm{D}}_{\mathrm{s}}^{+} $$ and $$ {\mathrm{B}}_{\mathrm{c}}^{+}\to \mathrm{J}/\psi {\mathrm{D}}_{\mathrm{s}}^{\ast +} $$ decays in pp collisions at $$ \sqrt{\mathrm{s}} $$ = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Abstract A study of $$ {B}_c^{+}\to J/\psi {D}_s^{+} $$ B c + → J / ψ D s + and $$ {B}_c^{+}\to J/\psi {D}_s^{\ast +} $$ B c + → J / ψ D s ∗ + decays using 139 fb−1 of integrated luminosity collected with the ATLAS detector from $$ \sqrt{s} $$ s = 13 TeV pp collisions at the LHC is presented. The ratios of the branching fractions of the two decays to the branching fraction of the $$ {B}_c^{+} $$ B c + → J/ψπ+ decay are measured: $$ \mathcal{B}\left({B}_c^{+}\to J/\psi {D}_s^{+}\right)/\mathcal{B}\left({B}_c^{+}\to J/{\psi \pi}^{+}\right) $$ B B c + → J / ψ D s + / B B c + → J / ψπ + = 2.76 ± 0.47 and $$ \mathcal{B}\left({B}_c^{+}\to J/\psi {D}_s^{\ast +}\right)/\mathcal{B}\left({B}_c^{+}\to J/{\psi \pi}^{+}\right) $$ B B c + → J / ψ D s ∗ + / B B c + → J / ψπ + = 5.33 ± 0.96. The ratio of the branching fractions of the two decays is found to be $$ \mathcal{B}\left({B}_c^{+}\to J/\psi {D}_s^{\ast +}\right)/\mathcal{B}\left({B}_c^{+}\to J/\psi {D}_s^{\ast +}\right) $$ B B c + → J / ψ D s ∗ + / B B c + → J / ψ D s ∗ + = 1.93 ± 0.26. For the $$ {B}_c^{+}\to J/\psi {D}_s^{\ast +} $$ B c + → J / ψ D s ∗ + decay, the transverse polarization fraction, Γ±±/Γ, is measured to be 0.70 ± 0.11. The reported uncertainties include both the statistical and systematic components added in quadrature. The precision of the measurements exceeds
