Semileptonic Decays of $B_c$ Meson to a P-Wave Charmonium State $\chi_c$ or $h_c$

The semileptonic decays of meson $B_c$ to a P-wave charmonium state $\chi_c(^3P_J)$ or $h_c(^1P_1)$ are computed. The results show that the decays are sizable so they are accessible in Tevatron and in LHC, especially, with the detectors LHCB and BTeV in the foreseeable future, and of them, the one to the $^1P_1$ charmonium state potentially offers us a novel window to see the unconfirmed $h_c$ particle. In addition, it is pointed out that since the two charmonium radiative decays $\chi_c(^3P_{1,2}) \to J/\psi+\gamma$ have sizable branching ratios, the cascade decays of the concerned decays and the charmonium radiative decays may affect the result of the observing the $B_c$ meson through the semileptonic decays $B_{c}\to {J/\psi}+{l}+\nu_{l}$ substantially.
