Description
There is no Bc annihilation decay experimentally observed to date. The B_c -> Phi K+ decay can proceed via annihilation of anti-b and c quarks into a W intermediate boson or, alternatively, involving final-state rescattering effects. Observation of the B_c -> Phi K+ decay will provide a new insight on the B_c meson properties and will allow a new independent determination of the V_cb CKM matrix element. The analysis is performed using LHCb experiment data from Run 2 at 13 TeV center of mass energy. Phi meson is reconstructed via decays to two charged kaons. The B+ decay to Phi K+ is used for normalization.
