Description

The Bc meson, composed of two heavy quarks of distinct flavor, provides a very interesting system to study. CDF experiment is the leading contributor to the experimental studies of Bc mesons, with measurements of both production and decay properties. We report amongst other results the measurement of production cross section and lifetime, using semileptonic Bc -> J/psi mu X decays.
