Abstract
In this paper a feasibility study of the Bc meson to measure its mass and lifetime is described with the general purpose detector at the LHC. The study solely concentrated on the J/ψπ+, J/ψ → μ+μ− decay channel of the Bc and it was concluded that about 120 events can be selected in the first fb−1 of data. With this data sample, the mass resolution was estimated to be 2.0(stat.) MeV/c2 while the cτ resolution was found to be 13.1(stat.) μm, i.e. the lifetime resolution to be 0.044(stat.) ps.
