We make a systematic investigation on the two-body nonleptonic decays B_c {\to} D^{(*)}_{(s)}P, D^{(*)}_{(s)}V, by employing the perturbative QCD approach based on k_T factorization, where P and V denote any light pseudoscalar meson and vector meson, respectively. We predict the branching ratios and direct CP-asymmetries of these B_c decays and also the transverse polarization fractions of B_c {\to} D^{*}_{(s)}V decays. It is found that the non-factorizable emission diagrams and annihilation type diagrams have remarkable effects on the physical observables in many channels, especially the color-suppressed and annihilation-dominant decay modes. A possible large direct CP-violation is predicted in some channels; and a large transverse polarization contribution that can reach 50% ~ 70% is predicted in some of the Bc {\to} D^{*}_{(s)}V decays.

  1. Weak Annihilation Contribution to Angular Observables in $B_{c}^+\to D^{\ast+}\ell^{+}\ell^{-}$ Decays

    Weak annihilation contributions are sizable in B_c^+ to D^{*+} lepton pair decays and must be included to obtain reliable Standard Model predictions for angular observables.
