Abstract

In this paper, we study the FCNC decay processes of B and Bc meson, in which one invisible particle is emitted. Both the spin-0 and spin-1 cases are considered. The model-independent effective Lagrangian is introduced to describe the coupling between the light invisible boson and quarks. The constraints of the coupling coefficients are extracted by experimental upper limits of the missing energy in B meson decays. The bounds are used to predict the upper limits of branching fractions of corresponding Bc decays, which are of the order of 10 - 6 or 10 - 5 when final meson is pseudoscalar or vector, respectively. The maximum branch ratios are achieved when mχ≈ 3.5 –4 GeV, where mχ is the mass of the invisible particle.
