Direct decay of the Higgs boson into B_c and B_c^* mesons

The exclusive decays of the Higgs boson into and mesons are being studied using the fragmentation approach. One of the dominant modes of the Higgs boson decay in the Standard Model is its decay into pairs, which then directly decay into and mesons. In this article, the branching ratio and decay widths of the SM Higgs boson to the and mesons have been calculated by directly fragmenting the anti-quark within the framework of perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (pQCD) at leading order (LO). The results of these calculations are in very good agreement with those obtained by other authors.
