Next-to-leading-logarithm k_T resummation for B_c J/ decays

Publication date 27 September 2021

Abstract: We derive the

k_{T}

resummation for a transverse-momentum-dependent charmonium wave function, which involves the bottom quark mass

m_{b}

, the charm quark mass

m_{c}

, and the charm quark transverse momentum

k_{T}

, up to the next-to-leading-logarithm (NLL) accuracy under the hierarchy

m_{b} g g m_{c} g g k_{T}

. The resultant Sudakov factor is employed in the perutrbative QCD (PQCD) approach to the

B_{c} o J / p s i

transition form factor

A_{0}^{B_{c} o J / p s i} (0)

and the

B_{c}^{+} o J / p s i p i^{+}

decay. We compare the NLL resummation effect on these processes with the leading-logarithm one in the literature, and find a

(5 - 10) %

enhancement to the form factor

A_{0}^{B_{c} o J / p s i} (0)

and a

(10 - 20) %

enhancement to the decay rate

m B R (B_{c}^{+} o J / p s i p i^{+})

. The improved

k_{T}

resummation formalism is applicable to the PQCD analysis of heavy meson decays to other charmonia.
