abstract
We investigate the total inclusive decay rate of the (ground state) $B_c$ meson within the framework of an operator product expansion in inverse powers of the heavy quark masses and subsequent matching onto nonrelativistic QCD. The expansion is organized as a series in the strong coupling and in powers of the heavy quark velocities in the $B_c$, reflecting the nonrelativistic nature of a heavy-heavy bound state. In this aspect the character of the expansion differs from the more familiar case of heavy-light mesons. The framework incorporates systematically corrections to the leading $b$- and $c$-quark decays due to binding effects, as well as contributions from weak annihilation and Pauli interference. Based on this approach we find for the $B_c$ meson lifetime $\tau_{B_c}=(0.4 - 0.7)\,$ps, the dominant mechanism being the decay of the charm constituent.

New Physics effects with right-handed neutrinos in semileptonic decay $B_c^+ \to B_s \mu^+ \nu_{\mu}$
Right-handed neutrino operators constrained by charm data are predicted to shift the lepton polarization asymmetry and convexity in B_c -> B_s mu nu away from the Standard Model, offering a way to distinguish new phys...

Revisiting lifetimes of doubly charmed baryons
Updated predictions within the heavy quark expansion confirm the lifetime hierarchy τ(Ξ_cc^+) < τ(Ω_cc^+) < τ(Ξ_cc^++) with τ(Ξ_cc^++) = 0.32 ± 0.05 +0.08/-0.07 ps matching LHCb data and provide ratios for the other states.
