Abstract

The results of calculations of semileptonic B±c meson exclusive decay channels using the quark potential model are presented. These results are compared with estimations made using the spectator model. The polarization of charmonia states resulting from b → c decay are also calculated, providing a more detailed experimental check of the model.
