Abstract

Considering X(3940) and X(4160) as η_c (3s ) and η_c (4s ), we study the production of X(3940) and X(4160) in exclusive weak decays of the B_c meson by the improved Bethe-Salpeter (BS) method. Using the relativistic BS equation and the Mandelstam formalism, we calculate the corresponding decay form factors. The predictions of the corresponding branching ratios are: Br (B_c ⁺ → X (3940) e⁺n_e) = 1.0 × 10^-4 and Br (B_c ⁺ → X (4160) e⁺n_e) = 2.4 × 10^-5. This will provide a new way to observe X(3940) and X(4160) in the future, as well as to improve the knowledge of B _c meson decay.
