B_c Production in Higgs Boson Decays
read the original abstract
$B_c$ production rate in Higgs boson decays is evaluated in NRQCD framework. Given Higgs total decay width is about $4.20~MeV$ and the vector $B^*_c$ meson decays completely to the ground state, we find that the branching fraction of $B_c$ meson production in Higgs decays is $8.50\times10^{-4}$, where both leading QED and QCD contributions are included. This process is hence detectable in the high-luminosity/energy LHC. In confronting to the quarkonia production, we find that the fraction rate of $B_c$ production is more than an order of magnitude bigger than those of charmonium and bottomoium production in Higgs decays. In the calculation, various differential distributions and uncertainties of the concerned processes are analysed.

Resolved photoproduction of the $B_c$ meson in electron-proton collisions
Direct gamma-gluon fusion dominates B_c photoproduction in ep collisions, with resolved gluon-gluon contributing O(10%) at low p_T across HERA to EIC energies.
