Abstract

We investigate the exclusive semileptonic Bc→(D,ηc,B,Bs)ℓνℓ, ηb→Bcℓνℓ(ℓ=e,μ,τ) decays using the light-front quark model constrained by the variational principle for the QCD motivated effective Hamiltonian. The form factors f+(q2) and f−(q2) are obtained from the analytic continuation method in the q+=0 frame. While the form factor f+(q2) is free from the zero mode, the form factor f−(q2) is not free from the zero mode in the q+=0 frame. Using our effective method to relate the non-wave function vertex to the light-front valence wave function, we incorporate the zero-mode contribution as a convolution of zero-mode operator with the initial and final state wave functions.
