Abstract

A search for decays of B _c ⁺ mesons to two charm mesons is performed for the first time using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0fb ⁻¹ , collected by the LHCb experiment in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The decays considered are B _c ⁺ →D _(s) ^(⁎)+ D‾ ^(⁎)0 and B _c ⁺ →D _(s) ^(⁎)+ D ^(⁎)0 , which are normalised to high-yield B ⁺ →D _(s) ⁺ D‾ ⁰ decays. No evidence for a signal is found and limits are set on twelve B _c ⁺ decay modes.
